Understandably). Hands down, WBML marks the sweet spot, and in my view remains the best of the franchise - while most of the others shown are really good games. The music, graphics, animations, the RPG elements (stores with quirky characters, store & in-level upgrades, boss rooms, secrets, magic items, the story & narrative) are lovely, witty and harmonic to an extend, for me it crossed the border from being a video game to experiencing a fantastic and lively world shown through the window of an arcade machine. Even though I was a youngster when I first played it, not many other games achieved that impression.

@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries which version is your favorite

The first Adventure Island was developed by Westone under the license of Hudson as a port of Wonder Boy. The rest of the series were developed by Hudson themselves as their own franchise, that's why they branched off as their own series. New Adventure Island for the Pc Engine was a sort of remake of the first Adventure Island but fully developed by Hudson this time.

So when I saw this vid pop up I immediately watched it as Im a fan of the series and have logged tons of time on the original arcade version. And I got to say, whoever did the game play for your footage is a fricken ace player. This game is hard and requires perfect timing under constant "moving forward" pressure.

Without any doubt, Wonder boy, Monster Land & Monster Lair are my favourite platform games of all time. Wonderful charm and wonderful score attack games. Thanks for another great video PatmanQC, take care and stay safe sir.

I didn't discover the Wonder Boy arcade machine until 1988. And I was super addicted. I have the MAME rom on my Super Retrocade. Small bit of info you didn't mention that some may not know are the hidden 1ups on certain levels that look like tiny TomTom dolls. I can't remember where they all are, but you get them by throwing your axe in key spots much like the hidden letters.

U collect little letter blocks that are hidden in certain spots on each level. They appear if you hit the area with an ax or jump right by the spot. The letters are E-S-C (for Escape). Then on the following level, if you hit the hidden spot, a Tom-Tom doll will appear for an extra life. Every level has one of these hidden icons.

This is an excellent retrospective on one of my all-time favorite game series. Thank you for putting it together. I've played every version of Dragon's Trap/Curse, and I'm currently playing the HD remaster! One tiny nitpick is that you didn't talk about the Master System version of Wonder Boy in Monster Land. I personally prefer that version over the other ones. Maybe because it's the first version I ever played.

One important thing that was missing in the review was the custom brazilian version of monster land and dragon's trap, made by TecToy, a Sega brazilian local reseller, which used the characters of "Turma da Monica" kids comic book (veryyyy famous comic HQ, by Mauricio de Sousa, since the 70's up to today, read by kids, teenagers and even adults from the eighties and nineties). The comics has been exported to the US and is know as "Monica's Gang" or "Monica and Friends" . The sword of the main character was switched by Monica's famous blue bunny cuddly toy.

Wonder boy 3 the dragons trap on Sega Master System was my favorite game for a large chunk of my childhood, the nostalgia is rather vast! I never had much money, my cousin was spoiled rotten and his parents would buy them so many games, lucky for me, my cousin was happy to share with his less fortunate relative. I used to open up the posters that came with most Sega games, you would open it up and it would have lots and lots of pictures akin to thumbnails next to the title of the game, clever marketting by Sega, i always wondered what these games were like. Having played Wonderboy 3 extensively made me wonder what these other titles were like, the poster advertised Wonder Boy in Monster land, or monster world, whichever was the Master system game, i never knew that the Dragons trap was a sequel, and it makes the intro make a lot more sense. I did not play the remake of WB3, however it looks very very loyal, so i doubt there is anything new to see except for the graphics, let me know if this is wrong! I used to get sad at the end of the game when the adventure was over, WB has defeated the Vampire dragon and the Salamander cross has returned our hero into human form, you return to the village which is now beautifully set at night, the 1 house you could not enter before now has a door, Wonder boy goes in, the door vanishes behind him, and the screen scrolls up with text to detail the ending. This used to make me really sad, not because the game was over, but it felt like WB was retiring, without rescuing a princess! Wonder boy seemed to have no family of his own at this stage, and the town seems rather ungrateful for our heroes efforts. I wished they would turn these 2 games into a movie! Also, all of the hidden rooms used to drive me crazy, as soon as you find 1, you are pressing up everywhere you go and looking for them!

WONDERBOY! Won't you take me far away from the mucky-muck, YEAH!

Thank you my friend

I forgot how good the Master System conversion was, it looks incredible :-)

I was surprised it was so well done

I remember playing Wonder Boy in Monster Land on my Amiga. In fact it was the only encounter I ever had with the Wonder Boy series at all. It always sounded like the name of a sequel or series to me, and now I know that's the case! I always thought Wonder Boy was wearing a diaper in the Amiga splash screen.

LOL, it sure looked like it. I wish they would've brought the original arcade game to the Amiga

Talk of master Higgins with no magnum pi reference? How dare you sir. Haha Played the Monster World games on the Sega genesis mini with my 8 yr old daughter. We had a great time. Your videos keep getting better and better. Keep crushing man.

I was extremely close to adding a Magnum PI reference but went with the boy wonder/Robin joke instead. Thank you, glad you enjoyed them :-)

@@PatmanQC-Arcade-Documentaries if I had to pick I woulda gone with the Robin one too. Ya chose wisely.

Oh his name is Tom Tom haha. I had no freaking clue when I was a kid. I barely understood this game. I used a cheat where I could "time" the level and jump all the way to the last boss, which was just the fastest version of the previous bosses I remember. The totem poles and various artwork used to scare the shit out of me haha

Great vid. 😁

Man, I played the HELL out of the original Wonder Boy on SMS with my sister. It was one of the first games we got for the system.

That's one of the best home versions the play that is not running under emulation

I just wanna add that 1) Wonder Boy in Monster World had a version on the Master System. 2) There were re-skins of Wonder Boy in Monster Land and Wonder Boy 3: Dragons Trap for the SMS and Wonder Boy in Monster World for the Mega Drive featuring characters from the Brazilian cartoon Monica's Gang.

The video was already 40 minutes long didn't feel the need to add any extra versions that were just re-skins

I remember playing adventure island for the nes when I was a kid and now I will play wonder boy for the arcade. 😀👍🎮
