Monster Lair (TurboGrafx-16)

[narox]

This version is so much better than the Megadrive version. The sprites are larger and smoother gameplay.

song kicks ass :)

[Superdwiggen]

that title screen looks like it ripped off Sonic's title screen

[CheapBeer09]

the music sounds a bit harsh for such a happy game (when compared to the 16-bit cart version)

[killawalsky79]

is this a wonderboy spinoff?

[yourtubeyourass21]

Wonderboy III for sega master system

[Looktisme]

Mega drive.

@killawalsky79

It's the original Wonderboy 3 - Monster Lair from the arcade which was ported to home systems. The Wonderboy 3 The Dragon's Trap or Dragon's Curse was created after this game, because Wonderboy in Monster Land was so popular. ;-)

[BendySpooge]

What system is this version on?

[scottievand]

Uh...Turbografx, pal.

[nor86]

Actually, this one seens more to the Turbo Duo, the TB16 that used CD's... not the plain TB16.

[moffatsghost]

wow sounds just like Mark Wood on violin, perhaps it is....

[cutmanmike]

I got this for my VC. Much better than the genesis version I used to have. Although the inclusion of a sound test would have been nice dammit.

[SwordfighterRed]

Hey, is that multiplayer?!

[HelloHelicopter]

virtual counsel on the wii says that its two player.

but im not sure if you can play simultaneously or if you have to take turns or not... =/

[mequetrefe413]

Two players simultanesously as in the arcade version of this game

[cutmanmike]

Damn I want this music

[RoyStorey]

Me too. Is this the actual game music?

[panteralistener]

Buy the game on ebay, and put the cd in your cd player, and it will play just the music. you will get a message saying it will mess up the game, but 15 years later and lots of rockin, my games are fine

I had my Monster Lair Turbo CD resurfaced and now it works perfectly. I figured I might as well redo the video since I was never really happy with the way the Mega Drive video turned out. My favorite WB game is still The Dynastic Hero although there are some that would say it's not a "real" WB title since they had to change all the characters and names around.

@virtualturbo

Wonderboy has had so many different versions, including the Adventure Island series that Westone licensed to Hudson Soft. ;-) I would like to see a new Wonderboy game for today's systems also.

[Nintega]

Now that is more like it! Much better than the arcade and Mega Drive version's music. This is my favorite WB game besides Dragon's Trap on Master System.

[virtualturbo]

Here's the updated video. This is the actual TurboGrafx-16 CD version of the game. This is a great little shooter. I still love this one even all these years later. Who cares if it doesn't play like a Wonder Boy title? : )
