Master System Longplay [022] Wonder Boy in Monster Land

[@rellik187redrum]

Those were the good old days when I was a young kid, now my life is a living hell.....

[@jondoe2110]

sho pat thank you

[@phobos2k2]

Been a year since you posted that, I hope things have improved for you!

[@johneygd]

rellik187redrum well yeah back in the day ,many things were better,But since the early 2000’s i am a lonely man, or so it seems,so it feels.

[@johnanderson-cw1bu]

same I loved this game as a young kid!

[@zo1dberg]

Jordan Peterson, my dude. Watch his maps of meaning videos.

[@jasoncaric]

I remember playing this at sears. It was the sweetest game I had ever played up to that point. Christmas of 1989 I got this game. I was the happiest boy in the world. Don’t really remember much about it and I’m sure I beat it. I just remember how awesome the graphics were. Good times.....

[@ynord6994]

same here...magic times...a bowl of chicken noodles..a glass of orange soda..the master system..and dont get me started on the Megadrive!😂

[@bubblegumxo]

This game was/is near impossible. Unless they changed this version. I played the arcade version on the 360 and the final level is a maze! Not only that, but if you die ONCE in the final level you automatically get a gameover. No continues, and the game is very tough as it is. It got to the point where I had to save a state after landing each hit on the final boss, because a couple hits kills you, but he takes a couple dozen with the best sword. The amount of time and patience and money it would take to beat this in the arcade...I'm pretty sure only a very select group of people in the world could do it. Funny how you can pay to continue all you want, but they intentionally made it so you get almost no practice on the final level. They pulled out all the stops forreal. It's a very fun game, but I had absolutely no idea just how cruel it actually is. EDIT: Confirmed they reduced the difficulty by a pretty big amount in this version. There are less enemies, and they have much less health. Not that that's a bad thing, again the arcade version went wayy too far.

[@madshadowpm]

My first Videogame in my Life . I love this Game.

[@MrLandale]

This is in my opinion the greatest port of Wonder Boy in Monster Land, even better than the arcade.

[@afriend9428]

*and the arcade had a timer so when it hits zero you still die even if ya winning the game!?*

[@Shadow_Witch]

@@afriend9428 The master system version works the same way.

[@penguin44ca]

Tons better

[@lawrencemcstephens308]

I liked the Genesis version a whole lot. My brother got it as a birthday present, and I always liked playing it more than he did, haha!

[@micolino83]

IMO the best Wonderboy of all systems. Brings my childhood back *nostalgia*

[@seanmcbay]

It's not even the best one on Master System imo.

[@maestrolodahl8681]

WB3 was the best imo

[@thehumbleone1983]

Memories of a time when being a kid was awesome especially with my Sega master system and playing this wonder boy oh man what a time loved all the wonder boy games one of the best games

[@ChescoYT]

My first SMS game, and was the reason why I begged the parents for one and got a Mastersystem for the following Christmas

[@mclicksterdesigns]

That game was one of my favorites of all time. It took so long to figure out. Having no save point s was tough.

[@D33Lux]

Bionic Commando was an amazing game for NES, no save point either...loooooong game.

[@mrlewz0r]

I have vague memories of playing this with my friend up the road when I was ~ 5 years old. I only remember the first few screens, probably because we never got further than that, lol. I miss my childhood.

[@WispyWoodsman]

I remember as a kid, nothing in this game was harder than jumping over the boss key to get all the cash when I didn't have boot upgrades.

[@Jesus_is_Lord_316]

For me, it was that freakin' mushroom boss at like the 3rd stage just before you go into the first castle. That dude and his puked up mushroom babies got the better of me for a while.

[@carlchallinor4933]

Alex the Kidd v Jenkin the Great

[@WispyWoodsman]

@@carlchallinor4933 I have Alex Kidd in Miracle World built into my old Master System 2. It took me 13 years to beat it.

[@zo1dberg]

Played this as a kid decades ago but couldn't beat the dragon at the end. Decades later I get to see the ending - thanks for that!

[@DeadManDownunder]

Wonder Boy 3: The Dragon's Trap, starts right where this one finishes up.

[@MSOGameShow]

You can actually fight the squid at 10:37 twice. After fighting the squid, enter the water you had to jump over prior to entering it's lair (assuming you didn't fall into said water before) and, after you resurface, the door to the squid's lair will look normal instead of barred, allowing you to fight it again for extra gold and a giant heart.

[@dr.floridamanphd]

That’s a squid? We called it a vacuum cleaner because we had no idea what it was! 🤣

[@carlchallinor4933]

Mate this was my first adventure game. The dragon is a robot.

[@georgehancock2307]

And can often get the second best shoes from the octopus in the sea part

[@panvrek8952]

The manual says it's the "kraken"

[@sensemusicofficial]

you can also get 64 gold by wiggling the joystick when you jump for coins

[@dragonlordxakel]

Another great game, that I sadly never finished. Only made it past the Sphinx a few times as a kid with lucky guesses. Glad to finally see how it ends.

[@music-jj2pl]

This is it! I've been searching for this game for decades! I knew there was a game I loved as a kid where there was an under water shop but you had to go left to get to it as you floated down. That's really all I remember @9:57

[@BluesifulWave]

An excellent playthrough of Wonder Boy in Monster Land.

[@neoluminoscalvaros8130]

Stage 1: god of death Stage 2: vampire, mushroom king Stage 3: red knight Stage 4: kraken Stage 5: kong Stage 6: sphinx Stage 7: god of poverty, blue Knight Stage 8: wizard, medusa Stage 9: demon, minotaur Stage 10: snow kong Stage 11: silver Knight Stage 12: dragon

[@tommypearson9260]

The 8-Bit Graphics held their own this game looks great like i remembered it!

[@LessLethalHomeDefense]

man i spent my childhood trying to find that damn dragon hahaha awesome man :)

[@stuartmitchell1908]

Love the music on this game. Must have finished it over 20 times at least.

[@harrycallahan9518]

Perfect game and perfect playthrough RIP sega those were happy times. Howevever thank you youtube for the memories. :)

[@pinebarrenpatriot8289]

I bought this game at Toys R US based solely on the couple of thumbnail images on the back of the cartridge case. Almost 40 years later it's still my favorite 8-bit video game👍

[@27montanna]

man the amount of days i played this for was amazing but one of the best master system games out

[@ekOPeckinpah]

I have 47 years old and that was my first game!! Damn! I love this Saga so mutch! and the remake to! Annnnd Monster Boy! great!

[@FreeThinkingTruther]

I remember this game! I probably still have it with my master system at my mothers, I should go and dig it all out, I had some gems, this, kenseiden, fantasy zone 2, Rampage, Choplifter, it's all coming back to me! I remember how hard this game was for a young me, don't ever remember getting past like the 4th level! Good times, my childhood was awesome and I miss it deeply

[@TheEthNick]

Thanks for the memories. This was the first game where I kept dying but never gave up. Played through it so many times & the satisfaction of clocking it was huge 😂

[@Tigerman1138]

Totally loved this game! 44 and LOVED THIS GAME.

[@afriend9428]

*hit Pause button 78 times and get 45 coins FREE*

[@rarapas]

I loved the added stage where you revisit the place you've been before and it's abandoned, all doors X added to the atmosphere of the impending doom of Wonder Land if you're unsuccessful! The changed Maze path was surpising too since I have memorized the arcade one! I'm definitely trying out this port!

[@erlingcypriansen]

These are childhood memories at their best 😊Love this game 🇧🇻

[@billybobs1705]

Supposed to be called super woderboy

[@erlingcypriansen]

😊

[@tageneislover]

This is an all-time classic man!

[@brokenscart7989]

This was possibly the first game I played, alone with Sonic. That ghost at 1:00 used to scare the shit out of me as a little kid

[@steve5123456789]

brokenSCART 3.07 come on that guys more scary lol.

[@brokenscart7989]

He doesn't move though lol

[@hermityt1]

It's actually the Grim Reaper XD

[@Shastah32]

brokenSCART lol me too!

[@SvenAngerstein]

Danke für die Kindheitserinnerungen🙋🏻‍♂️😍❤

[@BellaGoesJapan]

I almost got through the whole game at age 8, now at age 28 I can barely get anywhere. Child-me was definitely better at this stuff...

[@bluestreakedladyshe-her8507]

I have beaten the SMS version before when playing it on my Game Gear. I usually preferred the PC Engine version (Bikkuriman World) since it was closer to the arcade version.

[@brunoramone601]

i finished it in 1988 I was ten, there's many tricks and hidden things, my brother's and I played for months, my second favourite, best is dragons trap

[@christophfurler7252]

same for me. except the last round in the tower upwards. Today I am more calm for this part ^^

[@dr.floridamanphd]

I was 6 years old when I got to the tenth level boss. I died but it was the farthest either me or my older brother had gotten. I just raised my arms in victory and walked out of the room. 😁

[@tonyp9313]

@NPC #34254334 Response: I don't know if you've beaten this game now, but it is a game that is unfair since they expect you to play this in 1 sitting without any passwords or continues. You have to know all the secret doors in this game, power up your guy to the fullest, find money and hope it doesn't glitch on you doing that brick to brick wall jump in the last level. If you miss something in this game because you didn't know where certain bosses were etc. You won't be beating this game.

[@delsarcade]

Quality vid! Thanks for organizing the Round timecodes to jump to. Also, this sounds like the original hardware was used (not emulation where sounds are off). Nice job!

[@yessopie]

There are so many brilliant gameplay ideas in this game that never appeared in any game after this; not even in the sequels.

[@TheTekknician]

At the beginning, when you start, there is a coin hidden in the trees, beyond the signboard. And at the first store, jump facing the wall on the left side for a bag of gold.

[@afriend9428]

*This person knows all the secrets to this game!* ⭐️ 💡 ⭐️

[@marknewton3765]

One of the very best Master System games ever.....I owned this back in the day....1992 to be precise...

[@madzen112]

Lost count of how many times I've played this through. Only did it once on the Sega as a kid tho. Great mix of light fantasy rpg and platform.

[@asiguido]

I borrowed Wonder Boy 3 from a friend back in the day but never got to play wonder boy 2 growing up. Now seeing this after 25 years, I can finally make the connection with WB3. Thank you for posting this video ~ asiguido (age 34)

[@SegaSavageMusic]

man i miss the 80s and my mom dad the 90s to

[@racer4200]

36:21 was the bane of my existence as a kid. I never passed that part with dozens of pay throughs.I blame my controller lol.

[@alaskaguyd963]

Same here. I came to this video just to see how close to the end that was.

[@Rhihad]

Wonderboys were the best thing on Master System, could never get bored with this game for some reason.

[@paulsparkes7404]

Loved getting the Gold armour!! The maze was tough - great game

[@RosesTeaAndASD]

This is my favourite game! Fantastic playthrough :)

[@skippydmb]

Just hearing the music brought back lots of memories.

[@michaellapsumchang679]

Good old days when I played this game with my elder brother.

[@penguin44ca]

Oh my God. So much time on this I loved. Even now I'm hitting jump when watching this and no don't have my controller 😅😅

[@mervcobault6604]

This guy missed so many sacks of gold I yelled at the screen....

[@tonyp9313]

Yeah don't do what this guy does. Get every Gold you can in this game.

[@MrNigeriaboy]

Whats sick about this game is the ending leads straight into WB 3 Dragons liar, and starts with you escaping the castle.

[@deanleland7277]

This music is way much better than the arcade!! mastrer system for life!

[@sirbarksalot9139]

dean leland nope

[@hikmori7]

I respect your opinion. They're missing few music themes. At least its better than FM music version.

[@thehumbleone1983]

Yeah I agree with Sega 4 life

[@mikecowpg]

I no longer feel bad about not having finished this game as a kid.

[@ChescoYT]

Just played it & finished it after 28 years, it sucked. First few levels were novel, but that's it.

[@ARANBANJO75]

best wonder boy ever

[@brunoramone601]

dragon trap for thyevwin

[@tonyp9313]

Going to have to say part 1 is the best.

[@nbooky]

Wow. Memory does come back on this one. I used to play this in the arcade. One coin can burn a lot of time.

[@steve36207]

my favourite game ever :) still play through this regular

[@seancollier3313]

steve36207 did you know that if you continuously pressed pause you would get money and you could keep doing it. Takes about 50 pauses

[@steve36207]

Yes buddy :) I've never tried it though. I think you can press button 2 on a second control pad aswel

[@stbsole]

Did not know that. There was so much gear upgrades I had to make decisions on because of how money was in this game. Gonna replay this now with this trick

[@Clemme]

Part of my childhood. Loved it so much

[@burevestn1k368]

I played this game with my elder brother, it was the best time. I am crying 😭😭😭

[@thaismagalhaes5928]

I remember playing the Tectoy Port of this game, good memories.

[@bobbipatrick9655]

Loved the flute! My favorite game on that system. So much easier than Alex Kid too.

[@iciouailleurs1977]

This retro arcade game reminds me a lot of my childhood. I still play it through an emulator.

[@JohnDoe-db8hn]

The only Wonder Boy game I've played but was never able to reach the end boss. I think the furthest I was able to go was the blue boss with the ring of fire balls! What a twist about the last boss!

[@TheAxelay]

Such a great game here and probably the most underrated WB game in the franchise here. The Dragon's Trap stole all the kudos point, I bought the original Wonder Boy when I got my SMS 2 in 1989 and I hired WB In Monster Land the most. Dark horse classic.

[@florianklink2961]

Since I wasn't able to beat this game yet, I prefer the Wonderboys that followed this one. Still very interesting and challenging game. You can't backtrack, so you have to choose wisely when buying armor. Pretty hard game.

[@snail415]

Enjoyed playing this at age 11 (until that last-level BS). 30 years later I still get pissed watching it! 😂

[@tonyp9313]

Buy ceramic boots instead of legendary boots..

[@edpinkus8688]

The pyramid and those questions always killed me! There are still areas I never seen since I couldn't jump there.

[@edwin11373]

Great memories. For me, the hardest part was the castle's maze. No way I would have finished this game without getting some pointers on how to find the right path.

[@bcherbs]

that castle maze at the ends took me forever to get through that!

[@Miakel]

0:47 there is a money bag to the left of the door here, walk to the wall on the left and jump

[@fraz6354]

This was my favourite game on the sega, it was brilliant.

[@Emceemur]

The part in the last castle where you jump all the way up on the two red blocks is the bane of my existence. I used to beat this game and my meat at the same time and now I can't get past those damn red blocks. Wonder Boy always gets hung up in the top of the screen. Can't recall how it was so easy 30 years ago.

[@tonyp9313]

Easy way to do this part...I found out today actually...Buy Ceramic boots...You won't get stuck jumping back & forth.

[@ManuelMenchaca]

Memories! thanks for the post.

[@imyanigmw]

That swoop down attack by the bosses used to fuck me up as a kid lol

[@riverradaok2347]

Buena nolstalgia wonder boy in mosterland es epico ★★★★★★

[@SezerPank]

The jump sounds are quite similar to Mega Man's blaster sounds.

[@DissidentPrick]

You have to toggle your jumps so you get more gold in the hidden gold parts.

[@soaringscott5635]

Nice job. I never got all of the legendary gear on a single play through.

[@BarakAvinoam]

my late grandmother give me a coin every time i visit her , and sped it on this exact game machine.

[@AnnWahlquist]

Ahh those were the days.....

[@Flirmy]

this was one of my fav games as a kid

[@Shinobi_Kun77]

Definitely where the Aggelos game got it’s ideas from. 🗡️

[@SkyAvila777]

My fav game on the Sega master system in 1988....wohooo

[@PeekaPeep]

Thank you for uploading this game! I only got as far as those two tricky platform steps that you had to take all the way up to the very top in that part of the dragon's labryrinth in order to proceed further. I always got stuck there (lol), but glad to see the ending all the same. Games like this one made me proud to have owned a Master System. The NES may have sold more units, but Sega's 8-bit counterpart was better quality IMHO. ;-)

[@tonyp9313]

Easy solution to that...Don't buy legendary boots at all do not get them either. If you still have the game or access to it....Buy ceramic boots... You will not get stuck and the jumping will be super easy... You should be able to do it in 1 try....

[@petem4665]

This was my favorite video game of all time. I could never find the boss in the final round though. I would try to knock on what seemed like every inch of every wall to no avail. I would finally die of natural causes countless times.

[@GeeEm1313]

One of my favorite games ever. A good way to kill 45 minutes. Granted, I don't remember the pathways in the last castle.

[@Liverblow1]

Remember this game as a kid, could never get through that last castle, but now I've finally seen the end !!!

[@potedude]

Here's a bit of nostalgia.

[@ochosigod5417]

So many memories thank you

[@howardmcvicar5969]

This game took so many of my quarters when i was 10 years old.Unfortunately ijust couldn't beat it.The game still rocks in 2018 along with bubble bobble and double dragon.

[@Jesus_is_Lord_316]

HAHAHA, those 3 games stole most of my pocket money!

[@see-no-evil92]

Nostalgia ❤

[@joeyjojojunior1794]

34:35 This level's soundtrack sounds so fresh and fun. I'm surprised a new sound came so late in the game.

[@toomyconne768]

This game was my life when I was 7

[@flyballer1573]

That red squid thing is damn near immortal

[@andreinoooo]

34:35 And here's where Wonder Boy - The Dragon's Trap should start 🐲

[@Samien]

The dragon was a ROBOT!! MIND FUCKING BLOWN.

[@MotoGirl]

wow I watched the entire video. Now I know all the hiding spots, love this game

[@deanleland7277]

damm this game is the all time best video game and music ever give me goosebumps!! childhood gameS~~

[@Jesus_is_Lord_316]

I loved the music, my favourite stage and music was the first island stage - 7:51

[@PeterSivazak]

Talk about changing things up. Color me impressed.

[@Space-666D]

Childhood memories ❤️

[@oblivion85]

God can I please be a 6 year old again instead of 36?

[@JoannaNext]

Epic storytwist. A robot! Awesome.

[@ChrisCa1601]

I recently bought this on PSN as part of the Sega Vintage Collection.
