As a kid, never beat the last boss. As a man, downloaded it on Wii, played it through, beat the boss after a hard fight ... and felt the feeling of pride, achievement and "ending a personal chapter".
Must've been paying a little bit of amage to old Wonderboy players by making the first area EXACTLY the same as the first area in Wonderboy in Monster Land for SMS. <3
I remember first trying to play this game when I was little, I was so stupid I didnt realize you had to talk to the creepy old dude to get the moving platform moving at the beginning. Me and a friend of mine spent forever trying to figure it out. Yet once I got past that part, the rest of the game went really smooth. I still had my "stupid kid" moments occasionally. It took me forever to find the game cuz I couldn't remember what it was called. I never thought it would be Wonderboy, lol.
Legendary game thanks for posting brings back the memories these old games are like the fathers of RPG's. roaming towns, counting the coins at the shops, buying new weapons and armour and taking on hordes of monsters in between it all, legendary.
Loved this game as a kid, quite high difficulty and sometimes even to know where or what to do next when playing it for the first time anyway. It becomes more fun the longer you get into it.
It really does, I remember not being able to beat the first boss and not caring for the game. Once I did though, I got into it. Never beat the final boss though, fuck that asshole.
There was a secret, hidden shop covered in vines where you could trade those gemstones for more fire/earthquake/thunder/hearts; which you needed all of to defeat the final boss.
This game has always imbedded in my head. I never could get passed the 2 bosses that had the big mouths. Then finally one day about 4 months ago, I played it again and I finally beat them and got farther in the game! Omg I was flipping out.
i played the sega master system version but it was at least 8 years ago, are they pretty much the same? if so then ill just download the genisis one on virtual consle
right, you need to go into the dungeon part in that weird building between the castle and the desert. when you come to the deep water about 2 screens in, equip the trident and dive in. Once you've made it to open water, come up to the surface and explore, eventually you'll come to a building and a woman will tell you where to find the 'amulet'
if you need any further help just reply to this comment :)
I found a cheat on internet and it says that after you defeat Gragg & Glagg and getting the Trident you have to press: down, down, left, left, down, down, A,B,A,B to teleport yourself to a secret level that has 10 treasure chests.
yes this game can be easily downloaded onto you pc and its freeware so its legal, does anyone know where to buy a wonderboy soundtrack? I want to go to bed listening to the music.
How I agree with you! The most damn annoying boss though was the last one! Even now, at 16 I find it impossibly hard to defeat it! Haha I think Im gonna play it again!
Best game ever for Sega Genesis. I have played a lot of game from xbox, PS, PSP, but nothing compares to this one, well except for Cyborg Hunter for the Master System.
Now i play tons of games and I play in clan online...amazing.
But the old 90' games in single player with 8bit are the best...I loved that game, i finished it (last time 1 year ago...on my old Genesis xD) over 15 times!)
I`m stuck at this game.. I got the ocarina and finsihed that first temple.. But there is some knight in blue armor that just wont die.. I hit him like 12 times, and nothing happens.. he must be superman ..and the password is just really a pain :P Still cool game!
Are you sure it's the same game? I don't remember there being a password. If it's the knight I'm thinking of, the princess is stuck behind a waterfall in the background. You need to crouch and hit him, otherwise the blows glance off his armour.
Wow. I totally remember getting this when I was like five for the Genesis. I was addicted to that game. That game is... ack! Such good memories as a kid. :)
I played this game a couple of years ago I think and it was a really good one. (But the last boss was cheap as heck, and I could never figure out how to refill magic, so I used it sparingly.)
Okay, with Wiki and Youtube, I think I've determined that this is another version of one of my favorite games as a child, Wonder Boy in Monster Land. There are some major differences in the way everything is laid out, but I think I'll buy this on the VC anyway.
It goes, Wonder Boy in Monster Land, Wonder Boy 3: The Dragon's Trap (both Master System), then this - Wonder Boy in Monster World (Wonder Boy 4). So it's the third in the Monster Land/Monster World "trilogy."
Nice game, the starting song remembers me of the ending of wonderboy in monster land (which I love), from where the first level was re-used here. Both games are excellent, but seems that this is better :).
I think that sega tried with this to reply to nintendo's zelda, because both are action-adventure games, and even if them are different I feel that it is so :). I am wondering how will be this game if sega decided to transform this into a real zelda response.
This game is increidbly under-rated, why is it never spoken of ?
I remember spending so much time on this game as a child, I could never find the hidden door under the sea or figured out how to get past the desert part.
I was jealous of my brother, because he could complete the game!
oh man i love this game ever since i was a kid. this game was a defining moment for my childhood other than valis 3 and the sega classics. *sighs* i wanted to be a kid again but i guess the wii can help bring back my love for video games. thanks for uploading a true classic game
haha, yeah it's the same for me.. I was thinking about posting some gameplay vids of Monster World 4, the sequel. Can you tell me how you recorded this?
This game is sooo good!!! (rather ALL Wonderboy Games are). I played the Mastersystem Version of this one. It was my first "big" adventure in a videogame next to Wonderboy III - The Dragon's Trap, when i was about 6 or so. I really miss this time. :-(
I LOVED THIS GAME!!!!! I played "Wonder Boy (2) in Monster Land" for the "Master System" every day for about 3 years straight back when I was 4 years old! That and "Sonic 2" were the only games I had. Good times...
Sorry for the random life story, but this just brought back some good memories. Thanks for uploading!
