'''Dragon Quest II: Akuryo no Kamigami''' (Dragon Warrior II, 悪霊の神々, lit. ''Pantheon of Evil Spirits'') is a role-playing game and sequel to the original [[Dragon Quest]]. It was initially released for the [[Famicom]] in Japan on January 26, 1987. It would later be released in North America in 1990 and has been remade several times on different platforms.

==Gameplay==

Line 30:

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

The gameplay, much like its predecessor, is a classic style role playing game. Although it is much like the first [[Dragon Warrior]] in terms of the gameplay style many new features were added. Instead of traveling alone this time around you had two other companions that joined you as you traveled on your quest. Rather than attacking alone monsters would now fight together as well. Another new feature was the introduction of a ship which allowed the player to travel around the whole world. You could now save at multiple towns instead of just one and many new spells, equipment, and items were added. Gambling also made its first appearance in the series in the form of a slot machine that you could play.

===Version Differences===

Since its original release on the Famicom and Nintendo Entertainment System three remakes have appeared on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, Gameboy Color, and Mobile Cell Phones in Japan. All the remakes feature updated graphics and music as well as a few other new features. Originally Erdrick was the name of the legendary hero until the Gameboy Color release in 2000, where Erdrick was now known as Loto due to the new American Localization of the series. Attack animations were added in the gameboy color version.
