Wonder Boy III: Monster Lair / Round 1-3

I've just recently started playing this game. I love the Adventure Island games and didn't realize that it seemed to spawn from the first Wonder Boy? Anyway, this is the third Wonder Boy game. It plays like a platforming shooter and has shooter stages after each platforming stage. Really colorful graphics, tight gameplay, and awesome music. Enjoy!

This is the Arcade version. The Mega Drive port is awesome too though! I already have some mp3s from the Arcade version, but thanks for the offer man.

This game gets alot of undeserved flak. The adventure RPG part of the series is more popular but this game certainly had it's charms. It was one of the last forced scrolling platformers. It was a bit of a throwback even when it was released in the early 90's.

I agree. I thought it was a really fun game, but then I noticed people trash the game, which was surprising. To me at least.

I love this game. They need more Wonderboy in today's gaming world.

I totally agree. And if they do, I just pray they don't turn it into some fucked-up blood and guts bullshit.

SEGA's version sucked. I like turbographx cd better.

the arcade game had a few more levels than the genesis/megadrive version...don't know if that applied to the pc engine game since it was more arcade accurate.

This game was the reason that I bought a Turbo-Duo system back in the day!

I've never played the arcade vesion. Only the Megadrive version. Too bad the Megadrive vesion wasn't this good.
