i played ALOT of master system when i was a kid and as far as amount of time played goes this game wins hands down. and after all these years i still play it lol
tho i have to say i was never any good at the last dragon.
unless u cheat and kill him with lion man instead of bird man :p
This game was good. Not too hard, good enough to finish, but if it's the first time you're playing and you don't know where to go or what to do, it will take you a long time. So proud when I beat it!
Maybe you've tried it or not but Mouse-man can only beat 2 dragons if I remember - Zombie and Vampier (as they spelled it in the credits LOL).
IMO the best game ever on the Master System. I still have all the old Sega's and piles of games to this day, and I'm 24. Put this in front of me and I can play like it was yesterday.
Well i been playing it as of now, got the Hades Armour but afterwards when continue i have lost it. Seems once you use it if you change armour after then you lose the Hades Armour for good, as i have been back and done the Shogan Temple over and over and cant get the monsters to drop it, and the only other place to get it is after killing the Shogan Dragan which is already done.
I had the luck to see a 97% rating in SEGA magazine for the game I bought it and was addicted. What great memories. Brilliant game, great vid. A true classic.
im actually not frustrated anymore, 15 years later and now ive seen the ending, when you look back you wonder how you spent hours and hours on this game, when you finished it in about an hour
This was the only one i ever played and i never knew about muse-man lol was stuck as lizard-man for so long gave up - good to finally see the end :D thankyou :)
You can tell the creators of this game not only knew how to tap into the fun-creativity of a person, but had passion while making this game. Gosh...1988??? Way ahead of their time! You can tell they would have incl. so much more if they had today's technology!
TYSM for posting this. I had almost every good mastersystem game and NEVER heard of this game until now...
Mastersystem was the delightfulness of my childhood and im saddened that i never had the chance to know about or purchase this game back then. Im debating to play it on an emulator now...
This was the type of game i was looking for back then too! What a shame that i missed this...ya, i would have been in LOVE with this game back then. This is like a mario RPG - best of all great worlds. FANTASTIC!
Tnx for posting so we can see not only the start to finish, but also the secrets.
By the way, I never thought did game was too difficult. In fact I thought it was just right and seriously long enough. Wonderboy II was harder and if you want try REALLY hard, then play Cloud Master of Global Defense. Those were bitches. :P
If you really are a nostalgic of Wonder Boy & Monster World videogames then I suggest you to visit my channel. There you will find a few promotional video and download links of a new fan-made and FREE Wonder Boy game called "Monster World RPG".
This game is available on the Nintendo Wii's Virtual Console. It's called "Dragon's Curse" and it's the updated TurboGraphix16 version of the game. Lots of fun, and an excellent way to relive the glories of Hu-Man and his friends!
@Nomeucrec Sega had some talented companies developing their software, but made some poor business decisions on the direction & focus of the company in order to not only be and stay the best, but also failing to give what the public wanted.
Gd job with making Sonic better when released on Genesis. But my not run and make & evolve the Wonderboy & Alex Kid in Miracle World series??? Bad Sega, bad!
I agree and I love the ending song with the keyboard , I still have this game but i gotta get a SMS. I loved the song so much that I ended it a 2nd time (just reloaded my last save) so I could record the song on my cassette.
@sacredhuhu ya, Japanese developers ALWAYS had spelling errors in their credits....lol Such smart guys, but didnt give a shit about having a professional editor checking over their english....lol
I really enjoyed this - I had always wanted to do a Wonderboy III Speedrun myself. There's only a couple of minor strategic flaws but the operational gameplay is sublime, great job and thanks for posting!
The "stones" that you can collect, what are they for? I played this game as a kid and then I did not care for anything else then killing things at the beach area. Never found out what the stones are for. Thanks to you I have now seen the ending of this game :)
Incredible! I had this game as a kid and never got passed Lion-Man on my own. Only with passwords from Gamepro magazine was I able to play Hawk-Man, even so I could still never beat it. First time i've seen the ending. Very well done. Must've taken a thousand hours to learn everything. *****
Dude you need only the Hades Armor ;) (it´s funny that Info is not in any Walktrough, it seems only a bunch of People know that Cheat :D ) and you kick ass :)
Your 'heroic and gallant actions'? Did Wonder Boy actually do anything especially heroic? It seemed to me that he only did things for his own benefit, specifically freeing himself from the curse.
its taken me 15 years to see sum1 show me what to do when u go to hawk man,how did u find that out?my ms is long gone but thank you 4 closing a chapter in my gaming life.x
First time i saw that ending i cried. I was 7 and i cried in my sleep because the game was over that day and he-man aparted from all his "monster" friends forever. I have had so much fun with this game :-)
Another excellent run. I finally had the time to watch the whole thing and I'm very impressed. If you dont mind a request, how about a Power Strike II run? It's a shooter but a very fast paced one and it's damn challenging too (which is why Im not doing it myself).
I love the credits, not even one single name... what humble guys !

Each stone increases your Charm Points (CP) by one point. The more of these you have, the more armour/weapons you can buy in the shops.
