Dragon Warrior I & II for the Game Boy Color was originally published in Japan on September 23, 1999 as Dragon Quest I & II. It was then localized in English for publication in the North American market on September 27, 2000. It is a single game cartridge compiling Dragon Quest I and Dragon Quest II from the Dragon Quest series. Both of the games collected here were originally developed and published for the Famicom (known internationally as the Nintendo Entertainment System) and later ported to MSX computers. The Game Boy Color remake was based on an earlier Dragon Quest I & II remake for the Super Famicom (SFC, the Japanese version of the Super NES), which was marketed exclusively in Japan, due to the closure of Enix America Corporation.

The most significant change to the games was the addition of a Field Log that allowed players to make a temporary save file. This is a concession to the game's portable nature; one might suddenly have to stop playing when disembarking from a train or when battery power runs low.

The Super Famicom version of Dragon Quest I & II was ultimately translated into English by an online fan translation group called RPG-One in July 2002.
