'''Dragon Warrior II''', known as '''Dragon Quest II Akuryo no Kamigami''' in Japan (translated as "Dragon Quest II: Pantheon of Evil Spirits"), is a role-playing video game developed by Chunsoft and published by [[Enix]] (now known as Square Enix) for the [[MSX]] and [[NES]] video game consoles. It is the second installment in the Dragon Quest series (then known as the Dragon Warrior series in North America). It was the number one selling Famicom game released in 1987, selling approximately 2,400,000 copies in its lifetime. Dragon Warrior II is noted for greatly expanding the game play from the previous game, [[Dragon Warrior]]. Dragon Warrior II is the first game in the series to feature multiple heroes and enemies in a battle, as well as a sailing ship. It was also the first to have weapons which cast spells when used in battles. In addition, Dragon Warrior II offers a wider array of spells and items and a much larger world.

'''Dragon Warrior II''', known as Dragon Quest II Akuryo no Kamigami in Japan (translated as"Dragon Quest II: Pantheon of Evil Spirits"), is a role-playing video game developed by Chunsoft and published by [[Enix]] (now known as Square Enix) for the [[MSX]] and [[NES]] video game consoles.

The game world of Dragon Warrior, Alefgard, is included on the world map in Dragon Warrior II (although the Hero can win the game without ever setting foot there). The song that is played when wandering the fields of Dragon Warrior, "Unknown World", is also played when the Hero is in that area. Dragon Warrior II was the first Dragon Quest game to include a game of chance, and it was also the first Dragon Quest game to use multiple key types and to include travel doors (warp gates). Dragon Warrior II uses a save feature to record progress whereas Dragon Quest II uses passwords. The storyline introduction in Moonbrooke is present exclusively in Dragon Warrior II. In Dragon Quest II, the game starts right with the injured soldier from Moonbrooke entering Midenhall castle, seeking help from its king. When the [[SNES|Super Famicom]] remake was released in Japan in 1993, this additional Moonbrooke introduction was included in the game's opening sequence.
