Purpose of use

To compare graphical the differences in the Japanese of Dragon Quest and North American release of Dragon Warrior. Specifically, noting how the king, guards and hero have changed their appearances from the Japanese to North American version. In addition, the image also shows that characters in the North American version facing different directions, an element added in that release. While the latter can be described in words, the former cannot.
