'''Dragon Slayer''' was released in Japan in 1984. It was later ported to [[Game Boy]] (1991) and [[Sega Saturn]] (1997 [[Falcom Classics]]). The original release for the [[NEC PC-8801]] is considered to be the first true [[Action RPG]].
'''Dragon Slayer''' was released in Japan in 1984. It was later ported to [[Game Boy]] (1991) and [[Saturn]] (1997 [[Falcom Classics]]). It is officially labeled as role-playing game, but it is rather an action-puzzle game.

== Genre ==
'''Dragon Slayer''' is officially labeled as a role-playing game, but it actually lacks almost all of the characteristics of the genre. First of all, it is completely devoid of any text, dialogue or interaction with peaceful characters; furthermore, it also lacks any permanent upgrade to the hero's attributes: enemies can not only steal any item in the hero's inventory, but they can also permanently reduce his attributes.
 
Because of this and because of other gameplay elements, ''Dragon Slayer'' is definitely closer to an '''[[:Category:Puzzle|action-puzzle]]''' game. In particular, many areas play a lot like ''[[:Category:Eggerland|The Adventures of Lolo]]'', plus the continuous spawning of enemies reminds of ''[[:Category:Solomon's Key|Solomon's Key]]''. These are two major series in the '''[[:Category:Puzzle|action-puzzle]]''' genre.
