Almost every game on the TG16 is worth getting...there are 94 games (not including the CD games) and I have almost all of them, and my TG16 is still hooked up & running. Only a few games were real misses...it's still my all-time favorite game console.
you're right. originally Adventure Island was developed by Escape (which was later renamed Westone), but when Escape wanted to make Wonder Boy on the Famicom, they couldn't use "wonder boy" since it was licensed to Sega, so they worked with Hudson Soft who changed some things (like master higgins wearing a baseball cap as well as changing his hair color from blond to brown). and as they say, the rest is history.
It's one of my favorite video game series of all time. And to me, and this is purely my opinion, New Adventure Island on the Tg16 is the best game of the series. Although I do like Aliens in Paradise on the GB.
I have to agree. You have to try out Hudson Select collection: Adventure Island on Gamecube, or PS2. It is not so much a remake of the First Wonderboy/Adventure Island as it is a true sequel to this particular game in the series. I can't believe this game got just 'decent' ratings back in the day. We were so spoiled then!
Not very new now

that's why i chose this as one of the first three virtual console game, despite the fact that i never played a TurboGrafx game before.

In fact, after reading your comment, I popped this one in my PC Engine and began playing it again.
