''Dragon Quest'' was closely followed by {{DQ2}} which met with similar success. ''Dragon Quest II'' featured the same timeline and setting as the original, a concept which was further extended into {{DQ3}}. Together, the first three games comprise what is known as the [[Erdrick trilogy]]. All three games were designed for the Famicom/NES and share similar artistic styles.

===~~Spinoffs~~===

===Recurring monsters===

As the first game in the series, ''Dragon Quest'' ~~has served as a significant influence in almost every spinoff game~~.

*Despite the [[iron helmet]], [[leather hat]], and helm of [[Ortega]] being featured in official illustrations, there is no equipment slot for helmets.

*Despite the [[iron helmet]], [[leather hat]], and helm of [[Ortega]] being featured in official illustrations, there is no equipment slot for helmets. It is assumed that these helms are included in the armor sets.

*In the original versions, there are special menu commands to climb stairs and open chests (done automatically in later games), and in the Japanese version to select directions for certain commands, since characters do not have facings in these versions.

*The original Japanese Famicom and MSX versions of this game (and {{DQ2}}) have a "[[Spell of Restoration]]" (password system), in place of the "Imperial Scrolls of Honor" (battery save system). The password does not save current HP and MP, or the contents of the chests. So all of these will be reset on a reload.
