==Gameplay==

The game offers three spots to save the game. It also allows deletion and the moving of saved games. To save, find a king or minister and talk to them. As in the first game, the original Japanese version had a password system (or "~~spell~~ of ~~revival~~") instead a battery backup (or "~~roll~~ of ~~honor~~").

The game offers three spots to save the game. It also allows deletion and the moving of saved games. To save, find a king or minister and talk to them. As in the first game, the original Japanese version had a password system (or "[[Spell of Restoration]]") instead a battery backup (or "Imperial Scrolls of Honor").

''Dragon Quest II'' is noted for greatly expanding the game play from the previous game, [[Dragon Quest (game)|Dragon Quest]]. ''Dragon Quest II'' is the first game in the series to feature multiple heroes and enemies in a battle, as well as a sailing [[ship]] and [[Travel Gate | travel gates]]. It was also the first to have weapons which cast spells when used in battles. In addition, ''Dragon Quest II'' offers a wider array of spells and items and a much larger world (256 by 256 instead of 100 by 100).

To save memory for the multiple monster portraits, the background of the battle screen was removed. So the portraits are shown on a blank black or white background.

The [[wyvern wing|chimera wing]] and [[Return spell|Zoom spell]] will take the party to the last place they saved the game.

*''Dragon Quest II'' was the first to have [[status ailment]]s, and [[church]]es for removing them.

*''Dragon Quest II'' was the first game in the series to feature pits and tower balconies from which the party can fall. (As always, they take no damage from this.)

*The MSX version of the game contained a special scene involving the "Dangerous Swimsuit." This was removed by the time the game made it outside of Japan.
