DQ1 didn't shape RPGs as they are today, that one resembled an antiquated PC RPG. DQ2 and 3 strongly resemble today's RPGs. Final Fantasy came out around DQ3 and was heavily shaped by the series.
Super Mario Bros 1. (NES) Established the platformers.
Tetris (NES/GB) established puzzle games and the casual genre
Wii Sports (Wii) established motion control gaming
Sid Meier's Pirates (Commodore 64) simulation/strategy gaming
Dragon Quest 2 (NES) - The Console RPG.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
