Wonderful!	AirborneMuffins	2022-01-25	Version 1.0
A small QoL hack that should be considered almost required for anyone who is just recently getting into the series, or played newer titles and wants to take a look at the earlier titles without deciphering antiquated abbreviations.

Just what I needed!	Thirteen 1355	2022-01-05	Version 1.0
A few days ago, I decided that if I am to play a version of DQ1 & 2, it's going to be the GBC version. This hack only solidifies that choice more, as this version now has the modern spell names the SNES translation lacks. I'd love to see this done for Dragon Quest 3 as well!
