Dragon Quest (1986, NES)
This first visit of the epic series to the land of Alefgard has a lone hero battling the Dragonlord in order to save the rather oddly named damsel in distress Gwaelin.
Dragon Quest II: Pantheon of Evil Spirits (1987, NES)
Introduces multiple party members so that you don’t have to face the gargantuan killing machine that is, erm, Slime, alone. You get a boat too.
Dragon Quest IV: The People Who are Shown the Way (1990, NES)
Tricky narrative that told the tale of four people who would help you later in the game. Bit like Pulp Fiction, only with less gimp.
