Game Description:
Dragon Warrior 2 is a role playing game for the Nintendo Entertainment System.
This game takes place several generations after the original Dragon Warrior protagonist's quest.
This game saw the removal of several limitations. It was the first one in this series to allow multiple monsters (and multiple TYPES of monsters) on the battlefield at once. It also allows the use of three characters, as opposed to the original's single character.
You begin playing as the Prince of Midenhall, who must investigate an attack led upon Moonbrooke Castle and determine the fate of your kin, who are also of the royal line in that region. You are not restricted to the single continent of Dragon Warrior 1. You are allowed to travel back there later on (although most of the locations from the original game are gone, caves mostly gone, even towns, Tantegel and the Dragonlord's castles are just about all that is left) but the entire world is explorable now.
The other thing of note is that every one of your playable characters are distantly related. They all have roots leading back to your protagonist from the first game.

Hack Description:
Normally, the names given to the Prince of Cannock and the Princess of Moonbrooke are determined by the name you give to the Prince of Midenhall; if, for example, you always name Midenhall "abw", Cannock will always be named "Artho" and Moonbrooke will always be named "Ollisa".
This patch changes the name selection behaviour to select names for Cannock and Moonbrooke at random using the game's RNG, so now when you name Midenhall "abw", Cannock and Moonbrooke might end up with any of their 8 predefined names.
Includes commented source code!
