	Hardcore Gaming 101: Wonder Boy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Although his initial arcade outing is a fast paced side scrolling platformer, the series branched out into two different directions: Hudson's Adventure Island series, which maintained the same gameplay as the arcade original; and Monster Land, a series of excellent adventure games that made their appearances on the Master System, Genesis, and Turbografx-16.
		Wonder Boy 3 was also released for the Game Gear in Europe and Japan, and other than some concessions to make everything fit onto the small screen (and a cooler title screen), it's pretty much the exact same game.
		Wonder Boy in Monster Land was filled with weird looking shopkeepers, but the wackiest one of all is this guy from Wonder Boy 3.

		Wonder Boy in Monster Land (Monster World: Super Wonder Boy in Japan) is a 1987 arcade game by Sega and.
		Tec Toy replaced the boy with a young girl named Mônica, a character from Monica's Gang, known as Turma da Mônica in the original Portuguese version.
		Mônica, known in the English Monica's Gang publication as Monica (without the circumflex), hits enemies with a toy rabbit called Sansão, or Samson as he is known in the English version.

		However, my first and foremost philosophy with arcade gaming is that it should be theoretically possible for the player to finish the game on credit - extremely difficult - but possible.
		Because Wonderboy in Monster Lair is HARD - possibly the hardest arcade game I've played to date - and the end of level bosses just get more and more ridiculously impossible to kill as you venture onwards.
		It was everything an arcade game should be - exciting in short bursts, a challenge, and technically excellent.

		The arcade could also be the first (I played the game in the arcade for the first time).
		Graphically the arcade game was superior, but it had good graphics for an 8-bit game.
		Wonder Boy has to travel through 14 different areas with each 4 rounds.

		Wonder Boy is a little caveman who attacks using a stone hammer, rides a skateboard and picks up other cute items along the way.
		The object of this game is for Wonder Boy to rescue his girlfriend, Tina, from the evil wizard, King.
		If you ever wondered why this game and an NES game called Adventure Island has so many similarities, the answer is simple: Wonderboy was developed by a company called Escape (who later changed their name to Westone).

	SMS Power! - Forums - View topic - Wonder Boy in Monster Land version analysis
		I think it is rather the work of a Wonder Boy in Monster Land enthusiast who wanted to be able to PAUSE without jumping on his SMS and play in the harder difficulty mode.
		That Wonder Boy was part of the lot and as I remember, MikeG redumped all cartridges then.
		The game is full of glitches (eg: sometimes some sprites palette gets screwed up after entering a door), I saw the same glitches in arcades in Japan as well, so it is either the bootleg version they had or all versions of this game include bugs.

		It is not anything we do with any regularity, for a couple reasons: One, going to the store, getting the game, going to the food court with Gabe and reading the manual over vaguely edible food is a critical ritual whose importance I can't stress enough.
		A few months into Penny Arcade we had every intention of branching out into a second strip called Retales, but when I told people about it they said that User Friendly did office humor about as good as it could be done.
		I wonder how many people will think you are kidding about the pilot episode we wrote.

	IGN: Checking Out the PStwo
		October 15, 2004 - With four years in the life of the PS2 behind us we were expecting to see a lot more quality games and maybe some more online options, but to see a complete overhaul of the system was a complete surprise.
		But that's what really happened at the Tokyo game Show and unfortunately the tiny new versions were all under plexiglass and all we could do is stare at them and wonder if they really worked.
		Well, we don't wonder any more because we got one in the office and after every editor had to come and hold the thing we checked out to see what was new.

	1UP: Hudson's Adventure Island (Famicom Mini 17)
		This was the birth of Hudson's Adventure Island, and hopefully it helps explain why the hero of the NES version has a name like "Master Higgins" attached to his face.
		The game itself, mostly unchanged from Wonder Boy except for some graphic enhancements, is very straightforward in design.
		There are 32 stages, set in forests, by the beachside, and deep inside caves, and the Master's goal is to hop and bop through them all to rescue some random princess or another.

	PlanetDreamcast: Features - Sega Classics: Wonder Boy 3
		Wonderboy 3 was a genre blending game that offered arcade style play, heavy roleplaying elements, a password save feature (one of the earliest games to use that feature), and several different characters to play.
		Wonderboy 3 is all about a boy who defeats a mighty Dragon.
		Each “personality” has a special ability: Mouseboy can stick on certain surfaces & fit into tight areas, Birdboy can fly, Fishboy can swim, Dragonboy can breath fire, Wonder Boy can be his handsome self (he’s not so special) and Lionboy can strike objects overhead (breakable blocks) & and is much tougher than the rest.

		Throughout my life there was always those covers, pictures, and situations I knew I had seen elsewhere, but I couldn't quite place it.
		Wonder Boy and Hudson's Adventure Island are games that not only deserve to be in the Freeze Frame, but need to be poked apart a bit.
		While the Nintendo Entertainment System couldn't quite match the graphical power of the arcade Wonder Boy, the basic vehicle is the same.

	IGN: Xbox Live Arcade Preview
		October 7, 2004 - Xbox Live Arcade, available November 3, is one of Microsoft's more intriguing ideas for expanding Xbox Live's reach.
		Some of these are for single games, which you can play as often as you like after paying the one-time download fee, or can be a package of games.
		There's a Namco Arcade Classics package, for example, which includes Pac-Man, Dig-Dug, and Galaga, so you pay one flat fee (the pricing has not yet been confirmed, but will be at least $9.99) and can play the games from this package as often as you like.

		They look exactly like I remembered seeing them every time I hit the arcades so long ago (oh how I miss those days) because they are the actual game roms from the arcade.
		As with the graphics, the sounds are basically the same as the arcade counterparts.
		From the cool announcer in Gauntlet II to the voices in the MK games, to the cool music in Gauntlet II you will be taken back to your days of youth when everything seemed perfect and fun (you remember those days, when we all did not have to worry about work and paying bills!).

		Pac-Man: You know him as the thing that kind of moved whenever you wiggled your stick around when you were at the arcade.
		They were horrid 2D platformers and scary, undefinable genres at best, like Pac-Mania, Pac In Time and the especially shitty Pac-Professor, which I vividly remember playing in a cigarette-smelling arcade next to a Wonder Boy in Monster Land machine I'd rather be playing instead.
