Amiga Longplay [081] Super Wonderboy

[Strap1205]

All the time wasted for getting to know that the dradon was a GODDAMN ROBOT?!?! xD Jesus Christ! xD

[Rakborsten]

I remember they had this game on arcade in a shopping maill here in Sweden :-D Great memories of the arcade, C64 and amiga version

[Grzegorz54321]

I remember that game from the Spectrum :D

[joshyland]

My first ever rental from our local video shop was the Sega Master System version, which remains my favourite of all games.

When I found the Amiga version in a second-hand shop, I bought it and couldn't believe the number of small differences. The worst element of the MS version is the horrible alternating platforms on the last level - mess up a jump and begin the level again. Amiga owners had it so easy.

Don't forget about the Monster World Original Soundtrack! This features the music of WBM

[willix2]

i remember i used to jump at every tree cauz' there were a lot of money hided on!

myconid master, 8bit sound, fuck*ng long loading times.....so nostalgic!

lol i never gone to last round and how surprise dragon'name is fornicatus!

please: note programming error: dragon fornicatus can 1/2 back turn but keeps flaming from right to left!

[LarryBundyJr]

Did the programmers ever get to the final boss whilst making the game? The final boss is a robot dragon.

[andersbiro]

The vampire lord looks like someone in a bear pajamas

[RandomID222]

One of the better things about this version is how it actually shows the name of boss monsters.

[Stepdude]

Wow, this brings back memories.,..

[Ruslakall]

Thumbs up if you wish AVGN would review c64 and amiga games

[Ruslakall]

5 gold get

[cdbils001]

5 gold get..all your base are belong to us

[kanfor]

Me gasté 3690 pesetas en este juego en El Corte Inglés, pensando que la foto de la caja era de la versión Amstrad. Me equivoqué :-(

[pedazwegad]

when i was a kid i played this game but i dont go ahead from the 1 level because i was feared from the first boss xD

[brynolf11]

Played this a lot on the C128. Pretty nifty game.

[fr3k3r]

Amazing first tune.

[djhaynes99]

It's a shame that they always rushed Amiga conversions. Even the Master System had the maze at the end, and the dragon took on two forms.

[moneymaster93isbest]

Why is he wearing a diaper and tennis shoes?

[cubex55]

@moneymaster93isbest

Adidas and Jeans werent invented yet!

[whitelfc]

my god, those were the days, aye ? 

[jackosy]

im cryin my fuckin eyes off :) hahaha thanks for the memories

[janmansde3dede]

I think this was a pee cee EGA game then an atari st game

[FredDude27]

Anyone else catch the Activision logo? This was back in the day when Activision was cool.

[kragle2008]

i had this game on the amiga copied disk but i swear it was just called Wonderboy! and i cant find it anywhere, mind you the disk is long died and i havent played it in a good 2 years :-) be interested in anyone who can convert ADF to Amiga Disk!

[brendutch]

the sega mastersytem music sucks!

amiga version is better =)

[nofreedomofspeech]

Played i alot on arcade when I was young, this guy doen't seem to know about the hidden gold like jumping on clouds and stuff.

[Dvnoid]

I played this when i was 5 =D

[porcorosso81]

Another shitty Atari ST port, with jerky scrolling, glorious 16 colour graphics, and as a bonus: Atari ST sound emulation.

*VOMIT*

[Monsterworldfan64]

This version should have been availible on Sega Genesis as the launch title! (maybe someone should port this version to the Genesis, since Stormlord for the Genesis was a port of the Amiga version, so it is possible)

[dvsdez]

This was my favourite platform game ever, its just more playable to me than even sonic. Epicness. I would love it if somebody would do remixes of the songs! Amazing

[Monsterworldfan64]

Say, why isn't the Master System version this awesome when the PC Engine (which if ya didn't know is an 8-bit console with 16-bit grafx) has an arcade perfect port? I think the ol' SMS could pull it off.

[EQlizer]

Love it!

[Monsterworldfan64]

This is the best home conversion I've ever seen.How can you say the C64 version looks better?

[Windir100]

@Monsterworldfan64

mmm...i think even segamastersystem port is better than this!

[CDProductions66]

Lol diaper boy at the beginning!

[LeShark75]

This was a cracking version for the time, it just took so long to load between levels.

[WinderlyReal]

what ? ghosts are dropping usable items ???

this version is weird

[WinderlyReal]

it's not a pretty bad conversion from what i see in this video.

it's a very bad conversion...

[akualung]

dragonicus fornicatus??? WTF!!???

[Holgaardc]

Wicked game!

[arczibeatbox]

Wonderboy, what is the secret of your power?

Wonderboy, won't you take me far away from the mucky-muck!

[WaltersKochwaesche]

Ha! I don`t think many people will understand your joke :-)

[dvsdez]

@arczibeatbox HAHAHAHHA nice one :) yes tenacious d ;)

[ludersatan]

the music is so great in this marvelous game :-)

[Monsieur413]

lol the ending

[porcorosso81]

Wow, a Sega Master System emulator for the Amiga back in 1988/89!

[LiquidFilter]

4 gold get? wth,

[VideyoJunkei]

the SFX were recorded with a microphone in front of a TV speaker (or thats what it sounds like)

[BLASS88]

ho man....i have seen loads of amiga game videos...but this brough me ollldddd memories....damn...thx for the video mate!!these are the best games ever...old school ones..

[makkia99]

BEST ENDING EVER!

[superturbo2]

That must have been one of the lousiest endings I've ever seen...

[Jac2Mac]

Does the Sphynx boss always say that he's in the mood to kill you first and then ask questions later or does he say something different sometimes?

[br000ly]

my da used to play this an i always watch him for hours

[inphanta]

For an Amiga game, the audio is embarrassing.

[uknortherner2000]

It looks (and sounds) like a straight port of the arcade version, which can be a good or bad thing depending on how much of a purist one actually is.

It certainly didn't play like the arcade version though! The controls were more fluid in the arcade original.

[miciah]

what the!... why is he wearing a diaper? lmao

i've never seen that and i consider myself a fan!

it's meant to be "cloth armor" !

[niicolas10]

buenissmo

[anybodyelseNOW]

Yeah the C-64 Version was better. And i miss the last version of the dragon and the aline ship flying away.

But anyway thank you for this clip. I showed it my girlfriend, because it was my favorit game on c-64.

[slinkyskunk]

That was pretty awful compared to the Master System version.

[wondeboy12]

the final bosses name was fornicatus? lmao

[kookoon]

Why the bosses weren't shooting nothing? o_o

[altraz2k]

... i remember this one beeing cheesy and slow and bah! well, after all it looks nice in this video

[bingefeller]

These graphics are pretty good. Anyone know when this will be available?

[goelan2]

Best

Game

Ever

[FTOhhh]

WOw I remember playin this game and it wood ALWAYS Freeze.. never finished it in the end..

but OMG -What a SHIT ENDING!!!

[ninjaspirits]

ahh the good old days of gameing i used to stay up all night on this awesome stuff

[zedr77]

A good thing you cut out the outrageous loading times... else you would have hit the 1 hour mark.

[UKNightClubber]

Yeah I played most on the Saga Master System in the Early 90's I loved them all, all the C64. Ammstrad, Spectrum, Agaia Atria ST and all the rest YESSSSSSSSS, BRING BACK THE GOOD DAYS OF "NICE" COMPUTER GAMES/

[OpticalFascism]

You are missing out a lot of hidden coins (especially on clouds) and didn't use the flute in Pororo for the alternative route. Or was it supposed to be a speedrun?

[anybodyelseNOW]

It really looks like a speed run. A there is a house where you can get full hearts & unlimited life.

[gabrielirlanda]

WONDERBOY (first version) for AMIGA 500, I am still waiting for you!! why did you never come???!!!!

[OpticalFascism]

There's an inofficial PD-Version of it:

hol DOT abime DOT net/1392

[gabrielirlanda]

Thank you, I didn't know that.

[Clausfarre]

Awesome, awesome, awesome! I just had huge flashbacks! I loved this game back when my Amiga 500 worked. What a nostalgia trip...

[NotMadeByMe]

The soundtrack is still as awesome as ever.

[ultimategamer1457]

You don't fight the dragon's second form in this version. Now ain't that a bitch!

[MadameZolah]

I have played the sega 16bit version, must say that its much better then this one :/ though I have troubles with the last boss ^^;; too bad there in no play through on that one :P

[Alianger]

There isn't a 16-bit version, you must've played on of the sequels.

[MadameZolah]

There is one , just a remade one. all the bosses here are remade in the game i have

[bloodyass]

anybody want to play this game on the pc just use STEEM atari ST emulator and download the game for free

[mistaben2k]

too colourful and blocky,

C64 maxxed it with Wonderboy!

[festeon55]

dam he missed so many secrets...

[xxZanexx]

oo I like the sega genisis vers, pretty damn cool xD

[Alianger]

Well, I just played through the Master System port and that one has really slow gameplay and poor, murky sound with less music tracks. There are more colors, but it lacks a lot of details and animations. Alo lacks boss introductions, text popups and a few of the enemies (no skeletons or mini-congos, no vampire lords, knights, mushrooms or congos as enemies). It does have the sphinx quiz and labyrinth (hate it) end level, less slowdown, and the bosses are often tougher.

[snarkos]

Yes, the C-64 version was a better experience, especially when considering the limits of that computer. Amiga 500 SWB could be a much better game, like the original SEGA Super Wonderboy which had a very difficult last level, some sort of a maze, before the last "guardian".

That guy missed some good sword and shield upgrades, relied a bit to much on magic weapons.

If you have and post the complete Cadaver and Lost Patrol longplay, you will be my hero! :)
