Wonderboy Series

[ParanoiaDragon]

I always loved Dragons Curse. I just learned Dynastic Hero is the next game in the series. The screenshots look dazzling, I will be getting it soon.

Mmmm, I'd consider Monster Lair to be the next game after Dragon's Curse, though, both technically are Wonderboy 3!

Monsterlair is such a funtastic game. At least on the pce

^You mean the shooter? Not a shooter fan ironically despite loving the TG16 the most out of all 16bit systems

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

I always loved Wonder boy in Monster World for Genesis. I'm curious how it compares to Dynastic Hero? Is the gameplay the same? Is it longer?

Also, I'm new to the board so hello everyone.

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

Great Link, I love looking at these comparisons.

Am I the only one who has the coastal music from Dragon's Curse stuck in their head?

[Tatsujin]

Best tune by far!

[Mathius]

That game makes great use of the PCE's soundchip. It's like they were made for each other.

[Tatsujin]

math sure did the math

It's now my ring tone. Now everyone in the IT department will be whistling it forever.
