Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap
Whether you fondly remember the original 1989 Master System version or simply enjoy good platform games, Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap should not be missed. This updated version is a true labor of love and features great artwork, brilliant re-orchestrated versions of the classic tunes, and the ability to switch to the original audio and visuals on the fly. The gameplay is still as addictive as it was back in the day, and the difficulty can now be taken up or down a notch, depending on your skill level. It is no exaggeration to say that Lizardcube has pulled off one of the most impressive remakes of a retro classic we have seen.
Gameplay: The game still plays great and showcases why it is widely regarded as a classic.
Graphics: The new hand-drawn visuals look great and are also beautifully animated.
Sound: The original soundtrack is catchy, but the re-orchestrated version sounds even better
