We've featured Wonderboy many times now on Indie Retro News, from the Amiga version of Wonderboy in Monster Land SE, to the previously released Wonderboy 1200; An Arcade game from 1986 as an unofficial Amiga port by Acidbottle. Well here we are with another Wonderboy story to keep you company, as we have recently found out through Twitter, that Acidbottle has teased some new footage of his upcoming game of Wonder Boy III: Monster Lair (AGA); An in development game for the Commodore Amiga using Earok's excellent Scorpion Engine!
For those of you who haven't heard of this game before, here is what the wikipedia says about Wonderboy III Monster Lair. "This game is a side-scrolling action game developed by Westone Bit Entertainment that was originally released for the arcades by Sega in 1988. It is the third game in the Wonder Boy series and the last one released for the arcade. A console adaptation was made by Hudson Soft, released in 1989 in Japan for the PC Engine CD-ROM² System and the subsequent North American release on the TurboGrafx-CD dropped the 'Wonder Boy III' title. It was also converted and released by Sega for the Mega Drive in Japan in 1990 and Europe in 1991".

ReplyDeleteWooow!!! almost identical to the arcade even if with some slowdowns and waay better than the megadrive and pc engine cd versions!!!
ReplyDeleteWow the Amiga is getting arcade ports on an industrial scale.
ReplyDeleteBack in the main Amiga days of 1985-1994 it was virtually unheard of to get a good arcade/console port. But in the last few years it has become commonplace to get great arcade/console ports.
ReplyDeleteAmiga ocs was really capable to do nearly perfect versions of arcade games..."Ghosts' goblins", "Rainbow Islands", "Commando"," Toki", "Pang", "Ninja Warriors" and on and on...It was uncommon for sure but there were a lot of great arcade conversions!
DeleteNeeds CD32 release!
ReplyDeleteThere will be ;) The original will soon get a CD32 iso build to.
