Quote from: Tatsujin on 11/10/2013, 03:53 AMCould you do that in the SMS version other than in the change chamber? Dunno reallt remember that.
Equip the Tasmanian sword, and jump into the air. While in the air, hold and let go of 1 on controller 2 and 2 on controller 1 at the same time. You'll transform when you land!
So it's just a cheat code. :P

The game is already easy enough, so I wouldn't have much use for that. Since it's a cheat, chances are it's also in the PCE version.

 The charm stone warps and infinite bosses are what really sets the SMS version apart.
Not really as you need the Tasmanian sword to do it and it's a item not easy to find.  :)

Yeah, but still a cheat which even involves controller 2 trickery.

Since the game was designed around limited use of different forms, it's either a cheat or the game isn't nearly as good as people think it is.



QuoteInfinite bosses?
Once you've maxed out your charm stones you unlock a bunch of hidden warp doors that transport you around the world, including each dungeon, where bosses can be fought again and again.

Oh okay. Thanks! I have yet to beat the game. I got very near the end a while back, lost the save, and haven't made it quite that far during subsequent plays.

Monster Lair predates MWII. If anything, Dynastic Hero is a sequel or prequel to Monster Lair since it shares character designs.

Yeah I know, but graphically it's superior to Dragon's Curse, since it was an arcade game originally unlike Dragon's Trap.  Maybe both Wonderboy 3's are inbetweequal's :)

Same game. Different soundtrack, player and boss sprites. Dynastic Hero has some cinematics, increased color/shading and no(?) parallax.

It is mainly a trade of parallax into nicer colors and good FM BGMs into an amazing red book OST
 (completely different tunes but absolutely awesome stuff) plus some sprite changes and added cinemas .
Absolutely worth playing it :)

Any kind of language barrier in the Japanese version of Monster Lair? I'm making a run through the Wonder Boy games and that is next - but it looks like the import version is a lot easier and cheaper to obtain than the American.

Dynastic Hero is hella expensive. eBay has killed the "everyman's" chance of getting that SCD. Your best options are to either emulate it, buy the much less expensive Japanese version, or do what I do and play it on the Wii Virtual Console. You can play the same game on the Genesis also. It's known as Monster World.

That's kind of what I've gathered. On that note, what's the language barrier like on those latter two games? I've actually beaten Dragon's Curse years ago but I can't remember how essential the English translation was. Seems like that's not any easier to find than Dynastic Hero.

Ideally, I would get physical copies of these. I've done the emulation thing in the past but looking for the real deal now.

Dragon's Curse is a common and inexpensive game. Dynastic Hero is the rarest Turbo game.

DC doesn't require reading other than managing your gear.

DH is pretty straightforward, but there is a quiz later on. It's not too difficult to guess your way through or identify the questions/aswers.

because monster liar = 0 JPN skillz required (but JPN version is a hell of  cooler (and has very a nice poster) than the fugly TG16 cover etc. stuff)

dynastic hero & adventure island (dragon's curse) = partially JPN skillz required

I think that is a bit extreme. It's not that bad. Clearly, it is a poor imitation of the SUPERCUTE original Japanese cover art, but it isn't hideous.

The latest issue of Retro Gamer magazine wrote up a great article on the Wonder Boy series and the formation of Westone. Over the years journalists have stated that the company's name was pronounced "West-One", but one of the founders have confirmed that it is in fact pronounced "West-Stone". For years I have always pronounced it as the former but being told I was wrong I switched to the latter. Now I have to switch back again.

I've always pronounced it as "west stone") because it sounded better. If were ever to utter "west one" it would remind me of "Westwood One" and Casey Kasem and Top 40 and Wonderboy deserves better.

These are the versions of WonderBoy I've got in my collection so far. My favorite of the 3 is the TG16 version for obvious superior reasons all around. And it's the only one that I have beaten so far. I'm still working on trying to beat the NES version but it's so freaking hard ! Gonna definitely have to try out the rest of the series that you guy's posted up on here.

I am assuming you're running the arcade version off a SuperGun? How much did the board set you back?

Initially, I just assumed it was the SMS version. But it looked too damn nice, "That title screen can't be from the SMS port, could it?"

What's sad is that I've played the SMS port a billion times, but I can't recall the title screen with any clarity.

I know it says "insert coin", I'm talking about the fact that I can't remember things. That's what is disturbing.

It is quite satisfying when you beat Adventure Island NES, since it is a challenging game. Such a great game, though.

If you have SMS, certainly grab Wonderboy—it's cheap and one of the best games in the SMS library (a very solid platformer, marred only by the lame square direction pad on the SMS controller).

Also, don't hurt me, but since you like this classic platforming formula of Wonderboy, you should give JJ & Jeff a chance. It is the black sheep, the bastard child, the lone wolf in the Wonderboy family. Folks either love it or hate it, I think. It's not perfect, but I personally find enough there to deem it "worthy". JJ&Jeff, like AI NES, has some quite challenging platforming acrobatics required later in the game.

NAI is easy but fun as hell.

AI 2 NES is very nice, too.

You can use GEN pads on the SMS, though, right? I remember doing this at least the last time I played mine. Was quite a while ago, so maybe I'm wrong.
