The “classic” name comes from the United Kingdom box art of the first game which in the UK came out the same year as its sequel. Adventure Island is little more than a reskin of the Sega arcade game Wonderboy, as a result the first Adventure Island game lacked its own identity. It is however a great port of Wonderboy and the later games took the series into a much needed new direction.
