Ever heard of Wonder Boy? Chances are you have not as it's a rather forgotten series of games. During the glory days of the Nintendo Entertainment System in the mid to late 80's, Wonder Boy served as one of Sega's biggest platforming franchises before the rise of Sonic the Hedgehog. If you do happen to know of it, it's likely you remember titles like Wonder Boy in Monster Land and Wonder Boy III: The Dragon's Trap for the Sega Master System. I'm looking at neither of those today; instead, Wonder Boy in Monster World, the first 16-bit installment of the series, is stealing the spotlight. Do you enjoy Super Metroid, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night and/or similar experiences? Perhaps Wonder Boy in Monster World is for you and one of the goals of this review is to help you find out. Also, the game was ported to the TurboGrafx-CD two years after its initial release under a different name: The Dynastic Hero. Why is that so? Well, all the details are within the video.
