No mention that Wonder Boy is Adventure Island on the NES?  I guess you don't like that one either?
soera:
Is it? I never bothered with Adventure island.
turf:
Give it an honest go. It's pretty fun. It may be because I loved it as a kid. That happens every now and then.
It's funny too because Adventure Island and Wonder Boy are the same game with a different main character.
burningdoom:
Adventure Island is fun. But it got a lot better with the sequels when they added power-ups and the rideable dinosaurs.

And it sounds like I have to give Wonder Boy 2 and 3 a shot.

Alex Kidd in high tech world... I've played that game all the way through.

In order to get to the 2nd action stage & to the ending you have to get a pass for a guard to allow you through. How do you get this?

You go into the temple, that triggers a dialog box of Alex praying. You walk onto the same spot & it triggers the same box with the same text of Alex praying. You have to step on that spot a HUNDRED times in a row & close that dialog box a HUNDRED times in a row & a "god" will give you the pass for your persistent prayers. How would anyone know to do this back then!? This task has got to be the worst thing in gaming history. Regardless of if this had anything to do with religion the idea that you should have to repeat an identical dialog box ONE HUNDRED times to complete the game is despicable.
