Agreed - although I played it on Sega rather than arcade :)

@@scoobydoobydoo4880 I played it on both but would love to play it again in an arcade for nostalgia ✨

@@Eighties-Jadie If you want the authentic arcade play you could make a groovymame pc build using CRT Emudriver and compatible AMD GPU and run it on a crt monitor. I was playing wonderboy last night on a 15khz crt monitor, i fire it up once in awhile and play old school classics. You could even play pretty much everything upto ps2 on a setup like that. Once its setup its alot of fun. Could buy a arcade machine and put the pc in it.

Me too man, my local gym had it on freeplay and when i would be in a proper arcade playing it i used to get a crowd lol.

@@not1iota229 I remember those times in the arcade when someone was really good at a certain game there'd be a big crowd surrounding and watching them! 😃 Those were the days. I loved Bubble Bobble, Pac Land and Tetris as well in the arcades

lol, wd.

Flashbacks wenn ich es nur höre 🤣

Ja, 9 Jahre später fühle ich es immer noch...😂

Agreed. I like it so much I bought the actual arcade cabinet. Sitting in between my 2 other favorite games (gun.smoke & donkey kong) in my basement

bonsoir, svp comment faire pour le télécharger bien évidement pour essayer de jouer je ne sais pas si cela est possible merci beaucoup, bonne soirée à vous.

@@atrain818 Hey been trying to find a copy/cabinet of this game myself for years now. Any tips?

@@jamesanthonyfoley try to find a board first. Ebay, Craigslist FB marketplace. Offer up. KLOV has them occasionally. Then try to find someone selling an empty cabinet. That's how I did mine. WB was sold mostly as a kit game anyway. Some ppl actually ordered them in that sega system 2 cabinet. With the blue & white sides that looked like crosses. Then u will have to do a make,-over on the cabinet. That will take a while. New sides art , bezel art, etc. Then hook everything up. And u should be done.

Mine to ❤ and double dragon 🐉

These are a lot better on the Master System.

Accurate asf

As a kid I played this game in arcade in my village in Greece (didn’t get past the 4th boss, others did) and I loved it. Later on as a teenager in the ‘90’s I played this game for 1 coin for more than an hour in an arcade at a festival in the Netherlands. Next day it disappeared!! 🤪😂

I had Wonder Boy on Game Gear - good conversion as I recall. I also loved Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap! Glad to hear you're enjoying the Astro City Mini; looks very cool.

I too loved the original Wonder Boy back in the day. The first port I played was the C64 version which I loved until I saw the Master System version - then it was like all my Christmases came at once. I couldn’t believe how close to the arcade it was. I can’t play it now though as I’m so used to the arcade version that any slight variation in timing would hurt. Plus the big difference between the two is the arcade version let’s you control your skateboard speed mid air - that makes all the difference.

If you’ve got Wonder Boy as number 2 then you obviously have good taste in games. I’ll have to check Rygar out.

Dragons trap on master system was good fun too

I've been on leave from work, so I've had more time to dedicate to creating videos (sadly, I'm back to work this week ). As for the video's success, we'll never fully understand the inner workings of the KZfaq machine 😉

Those are French fries 🍟 that he is missing. Yeah his play is rather odd, but he is getting the job dun. The cloud ⛅ jump on 7 - 2 has to be timed perfectly. 2 clouds are closer than the other 2. Go on the far apart ones.

It's absolutely unwatchable! This must have been solved by an AI with constant saving and reloading.

is same, jump or hit

Yes, this one and Bubble Bobble

Me too!

I love bubble bobble also, in fact I’m playing it now on iPhone app!!

The Sega Master System version made absolutely certain that the song will get burnt in my mind

It’s funny you should say that as Ghosts N Goblins was the first arcade game I played regularly as a kid and Wonder Boy was the second. I thought of Wonder Boy as a a brighter successor - Gravestones swapped out for rocks.

Where can I find it with iPhone?

That's because Adventure Island is derived from Wonder Boy - you can read more about the history here: segabits.com/blog/2016/04/15/sega-retrospective-from-wonder-boy-to-monster-world-to-adventure-island-and-beyond/

Yep - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ip6ngLFkytLTYZc.html

It’s tempting to dismiss the C64 version as a poor port. But believe me, when it was new it felt like a miracle it could be ported to the humble C64 at all. That humble machine punched well above its weight. Glad you liked it.

IMO The only good way to play these old games, to feel just like the arcade is to play them at their original resolutions and refresh rates on a 4:3 crt display. The arcade version of wonderboy should be running at its original intended resolution of 512 x 224 @ 60.096153Hz so the image is displayed 60.096153 times per second, modern pcs and gpus cant output those resolutions and timings anymore and modern displays cant display them. When you run mame the games being displayed are probably 1920 by 1080 @ 60hz the timing of the game gets messed up to fit and you get those issues you describe. If you really want to play mame games properly at their original "native resolutions" there are a few options, i chose a windows 10 pc with CRT Emudriver and a compatible AMD GPU for it to work in combination with Groovymame and other emulators that will allow them to automatically display at the resolutions once setup. You could get a MiSTer FPGA to do it and is supposedly more accurate than mame but less titles to play or a raspberry pi might be the cheapest and easiest through AV cables to pretty much any crt or you could get a RGB Pi cable would give the pi nicer image but you would then need to also find a CRT with RGB inputs like i had to for the PC setup i have. Its a hobby though will take abit of work to get going but its alot of hours of fun to be had with friends and family.

Yes. All 28 thru level 7 - 4. Will unlock area 8. If not, when you beat the elephant, the game ends.

@@atrain818 Ah ok. I like the Sega Master system version a whole lot better.

The 7th boss (7-4) is the final boss unless you get all the dolls which opens up the secret final area 8 and final boss on 8-4. There are additional levels on the Master System version, 9 areas in total (10 in total if you get all dolls) so perhaps you might be thinking of that version

I always tried to kill everything and collect all the food!
