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!
