Can't believe nobody's brought up Xanadu, the first good* Dragon Slayer:  (Pictured: Revival Xanadu on PC-9801) *(YMMV)

SpaceDrake posted:Xanadu is a Really Important Videogame, both for Falcom as a company and just historically (it was the first PC game to break 500k sales in Japan, IIRC, in 1985) but sadly it's just gotten no English versions and thus no play at all in the Anglosphere. I do wish someone would do a biopic or something of Falcom's history in the 80s, that poo poo is amazing and has a couple of gaming history's most important inflection points - I still wonder what the gently caress would've happened if Origin Systems published Xanadu in the States in 1985/6 like they'd planned to before that meeting went so sour. The funny thing is that on PC-88 and PC-98, Xanadu was in English. Having played both the original and Revival Xanadus I and II, a lot of the game is perfectly playable even if you don't know a lick of japanese. Even prologue and epilogue scrolls are in engrish.
