Wonder Boy III The Dragons Trap was originally released for the Sega Master System in 1989 and continued in the Action RPG style of the 2nd game. This time with multiple characters to unlock all with their own unique abilities that will get them to areas on the map other characters can't get to.

The game was ported to the Game Gear in Japan and Europe in 1993 but never saw release in North America. I only recently learned of its existence thanks to a Wonder Boy article in the latest issue of Retro Gamer magazine. From what I gather it's not a direct port of the SMS version either with some level design changes being make to better suite the smaller resolution/cropped viewport. The Game Gear version is very colorful with large sprites, good music, tight controls and overall is a great showing on Sega's little portable.
