Dragon Quest is a series of internationally best-selling console role-playing video game (RPG) titles created by Yuji Horii and his studio, Armor Project.
The games are published by Square Enix (formerly Enix), with localized versions of later installments for the Nintendo DS being published by Nintendo outside Japan. With its first title published in 1986, there are currently ten main-series titles, along with numerous spin-off games. Nearly every game in the main series has either an anime or manga adaptation, or both. The series has had a significant impact on the development of console RPGs, and introduced a number of features to the genre. Installments of the series have appeared on MSX computers, Nintendo Entertainment System, Super Nintendo Entertainment System, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, Nintendo DS, PlayStation, PlayStation 2 and Wii video game consoles, and several models of mobile phones. Each Dragon Quest video game soundtrack is arranged into an orchestral piece and the video game series is the first to have live-action ballet adaptations.
Early in the series the Dragon Quest games were released under the title Dragon Warrior in North America to avoid trademark conflict with the tabletop role-playing game DragonQuest. Square Enix did not register the Dragon Quest trademark for use in the United States until 2002.
