…Wow. This info hasn't made it to the Anglosphere at all. In this column from 1985 (before Dragon Quest!) Yuji Horii writes “To hell with originality!” & cites *three* games: • Mechanics from Ultima. • Character progression from Wizardry. • Dungeon design from… Questron!?
A Japanese column by Yuji Horii in the December 1985 issue of Login, a defunct Japanese PC game magazine.
The cover of Questron, a 1984 video game so similar to Ultima that it was involved in a lawsuit. The cover features a blond off-brand Conan the Barbarian riding an eagle toward a presumably evil wizard.
