'Get ready for the final Wonder Boy adventure on SEGA MASTER SYSTEM.'
Wonder Boy 3 Dragons Trap was not the last Wonder Boy on the Master System, there was a fourth one called Monster World, although it's not as good as the first three... _________________ Hobbies: Collecting games consoles and games, currently 2250+ games and 70+ consoles.

@3OWLER: I have awesome memories of Wonderboy III when I was kid.
Me too, although I found it a bit tough so used the cheat at the start WEST ONE 0000 0000 or something. Then you could go in a secret door above the start, change into any characted straight away and go on whatever level you wanted! My fav was always Lionman.
Would be great to see an update or compilation, I've got the Monster World collection on Japanese PS2... _________________ Hobbies: Collecting games consoles and games, currently 2250+ games and 70+ consoles.

I only just got around to downloading the original Lost Winds, and it is astonishingly good, except the wind-swipes with the remote can miss rather too frequently (and I'm sure it isn't just me!).
100 WiiWare games already? Crikey. Still so many I haven't played. I think Strongbad should get a disc-based release, as should Monkey Island, as downloading all five episodes costs a whopping �35, and most disc-based games go for around �30 - �35. Surely the episodic downloads should be a bit cheaper? And while I'm on the subject, Square Enix: stop charging so much for DLC! To buy all of My Life As A King would cost about 4800 points, which is bringing it right up to the price of boxed release again. Crooks.
100 Wiiware games I haven't downloaded a single one yet looks like a decent list this week. _________________ Most Wanted:
