Princess Quest (プリンセスクエスト, Purinsesu Kuesuto ?) is a Japanese video game published in 1998 for the Sega Saturn system, illustrated by Sugiyama Genshō. It was based on a 1996 audio drama of the same name. The game was developed by AIC and Increment P Corp. It was subsequently ported to PC under the title Princess Quest R (プリンセスクエストR, Purinsesu Kuesuto R?).
While the gameplay can be described as a classic turn-based role-playing video game, the main focus of the game is on interacting with the non-player characters and discovering what they are up to. The story is set in the Kingdom of Dilma (ディルマ国?), with a cast of royalty who engage in all sorts of strange antics, and is filled with silly humor, which includes most of the characters being named after various kinds of food, and transgender humor in the style of Ranma ½.
Princess Quest features several short anime video clips, as well as spoken dialog (in Japanese) throughout the game.

“We are eager to tunnel under the Atlantic and bring the Old World some weeks nearer to the New; but perchance the first news that will leak through into the broad, flapping American ear will be that the Princess Adelaide has the whooping cough.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“‘Dear Captain Smith,’ the ghost replied, ‘you’ve used me ungenteelly.
The crowner’s quest goes hard with me because I’ve acted frailly,
And Parson Biggs won’t bury me, though I am dead Miss Bailey.’”
—George Colman (1762–1836)
