Trivia +

In February 1987, Hi-Score magazine published a spoiler article about Dragon Quest II, causing Enix to sue the publisher in the Tokyo regional court. The magazine's circulation was temporarily ceased, and the original publisher withdrew, forcing the magazine to go to the publishing house Bunkasha instead. It is speculated that this lead to the company's eventual downfall.
