See also: Gameplay of Dragon Quest Dragon Warrior is a role-playing video game. Before starting the game, players are presented with a menu which allows them to begin a new quest (a game), continue a previous quest, or change the speed in which messages appear on the screen. In the Japanese version, continuing a quest requires players to enter a password; in the North American Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) English version, the quest is saved onto the game cartridge's battery-backup (known in the game as an "Adventure Log" in the "Imperial Scrolls of Honor"). If players choose to start a new quest, they may give the hero any name they wish in either Japanese kana or English letters depending on the version.
