===''Legend of Heroes'' to ''Legend of Xanadu'' (1989–1995)=== An English version of the 1989 title ''[[Dragon Slayer: The Legend of Heroes]]'' was released for the [[TurboGrafx-CD]] in 1991, and is usually known as simply ''Dragon Slayer''. Subsequent ''[[The Legend of Heroes|Legend of Heroes]]'' games dropped their association with the ''Dragon Slayer'' series. In contrast to the action-oriented gameplay of most other ''Dragon Slayer'' titles, the ''Legend of Heroes'' titles use [[turn-based]] combat, while the 1991 title ''[[Lord Monarch]]'' on the other hand was an early [[real-time strategy]] game.<ref>{{cite web|last=Kalata|first=Kurt|title=Vantage Master|url=http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/vantagemaster/vantagemaster.htm|work=Hardcore Gaming 101|accessdate=September 6, 2011}}</ref> The final games released as part of the ''Dragon Slayer'' series were the action role-playing games ''[[Dragon Slayer II: Xanadu#Sequels|The Legend of Xanadu]]'' in 1994 and ''[[Dragon Slayer II: Xanadu#Sequels|The Legend of Xanadu II]]'' in 1995.
