This one is a little tricky because Dragon Quest is a fairly basic RPG. Both games were published by Enix, but made by different development teams.

Which is Better: Dragon Quest vs Sweet Home
Sweet Home and Dragon Quest are both turn-based RPGs, but that is where things end. Dragon Quest was one of the first attempts to make a console RPG, and many of its gameplay mechanics feel archaic.

The First Dragon Quest, A Great RPG
Dragon Quest (Dragon Warrior) was one of the first RPGs released for the NES. It is a fun but short game that is still fun to play today.
