Wonder Boy III: Monster Lair (Arcade) - Tubers High Score Challenge
6In this video, I'm doing a Tubers High Score Challenge video of a game that I never played before and it was chosen by retroredsteve. That game is: Wonder Boy III: Monster Lair for the Arcade. This game was developed by Westone Bit Entertainment and published by Sega, it was released for the Arcade in 1988. Wonder Boy III: Monster Lair was ported to the TurboGrafx-CD and Sega Mega Drive (aka Genesis), then it was released for the Wii Virtual Console, both the TurboGrafx and Mega Drive version. The game balances basic concepts found in both platformers and arcade shooters. The player is able to jump and shoot projectiles from a sword. He must ride a flying dragon and confront a large boss throughout the second half of each round. The player's life bar steadily diminishes as time passes. Health is gained through collection of fruit and projectile weapons. Some fruits, when shot, will expand and burst into multiple items. The player controls a green-haired boy hero named Leo (player 1) or a pink-haired girl hero named Princess Purapril (player 2) who must attack the invaders that attempt to collect weapons and use them to destroy the land. The gameplay consists of action and shooter scenes. The game starts out as a simple platform game, and later on the game is transformed into a shoot 'em up. About this run, I died at round 3, but I think the end score is fine enough for me. I hope you enjoy this Tubers High Score Challenge video of Wonder Boy III: Monster Lair for the Arcade and thanks for watching!
