Wonderboy The Dragons Trap - A Sega classic enhanced is now available on Steam!

When I was a lad spending all my money down at the Arcades, the game I used to love playing was that fantastic platformer ' Wonder Boy ' designed by Ryuichi Nishizawa. It started its life as a skateboard rock jumping and axe bashing platformer, that later became the adventure platformer with RPG elements ' Wonderboy in Monster Land ' that many of us know and love to this day. That same game later had a sequel called Wonder Boy III: The Dragon's Trap for the Sega Master System and Game Gear, published by Sega, which has now been released as a modern remake developed by Lizardcube, published by DotEmu and in collaboration with the legendary series creator Ryuichi Nishizawa on Steam!

Monster Boy and The Wizard of Booze - Could this be the next Wonder Boy?

When I was growing up there was one game that really stood out as a grand platformer that I simply could not stop playing at the Arcades, and that was Wonder Boy. It was a game by Ryuichi Nishizawa that started it's life as a skateboard rock jumping and enemy axe bashing platformer that later became a medieval platformer on multiple systems with both action and RPG elements. It was some of the finest series of games that I had played, so today's news of FDG Entertainment GmbH's 'Monster Boy and the Wizard of Booze' in cooperation with Ryuichi Nishizawa certainly came with excitement!
