Dragon Warrior is a seemingly complex but ultimately fairly simple NES RPG. The character completes his quest at Level 7.

In this seventh published movie of the game, RationalMonkey saves 34.83 (2,090 Frames @60 FPS) seconds over the previous run (http://tasvideos.org/1482M.html) by skipping Erdrick's armor. See the author's comments (http://tasvideos.org/6525S.html) for details. There are several things about this movie that might seem odd if one is not aware of them beforehand:


* All unnecessary random encounters have been manipulated (http://tasvideos.org/LuckManipulation.html) into not happening.
* The player dies several times in order to get transported back to the beginning.
* Action commands are often delayed intentionally in order to manipulate critical hits and such.
