Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap

I had no idea that Wonder Boy III: The Dragons Trap was getting a remake, so I was stunned when I saw this game kn the GOG store. This was a game that was part of my childhood, and was easily the best game on the Sega Master System. This is also the best Wonder Boy game, even compared to the Wonder Boy games on Sega Mega Drive, in my opinion. This is truly an amazing remake of a Sega Master System classic. All of the levels / areas of the game, as well as the enemies and bosses, are all exaclty the same as they were when the game was released in the late 80's. But the animation and art style are new and improved to modern day standards. The redesigned game world looks fantastic, especially with the parallaxing backgrounds and foregrounds, and the character and enemies animations look beautiful. I also love how you can quickly switch from the new art style and music to the original Sega Mastter System art style and music at the press of a couple of buttons. If you weren't a fan of the looks and sounds of the remade version of the game , then you can at least have a version of Wonder Boy III: The Dragons Trap that has wide screen capability and looks great on modern screens in all it's pixelated glory. If you played this game back in the Sega Master System days, this game is well worth the purchase and revisiting Monster Land as Wonder Boy all over again. If you've never played this game before, give yourself the chance to play a cracker of a game that has been remade with the love a dedication of some great artists and developers.

This game is very good! I played the Game gear verion of this game and I must say that they out did themselves the animation is top notch hand drawn animation. These days you dont see this type of animation im impressed. the game play is as good if not better then the original. I look forward to seeing more games like this in the future.

Last time played was 27 years ago on the age of 13! When I see the new graphics and sound i understand how much time passed, and my kids love playing it. I want to thank the Devs for reliving my experience. I hope to see more classics coming back from oblivion. Most recommended, go buy it!

they took an already great game and made it even better. the new hand drawn graphics, new sound effects and music add to what was already a near perfect game no more having to write down annoying password either the game now auto saves by itself (although it's still there if you want to use it or enter codes.) they got rid of that annoying charm system so no more equipping the shiny armor just to see what is available in the store and every equip now says what stats you get as well as any special features it has! and to top it off they even added some new special hidden areas AND a new secret equip to find! BRAVO.
