Playing the recent remake of this and it's fantastic.

Yes I'll be grabbing that once it drops in price, hopefully in the summer sale. I really liked Wonder Boy in Monster World and Land too.

I love Wonder Boy in Monster Land, what systems are you guys playing on, there a remake coming?

On PC (well my arcade cab), there is also a new game based on Wonder Boy in Monster Land in the works for later this year.

The remake of Wonder Boy the dragons trap is exactly the same as the Master System original but with a audio/visual makeover, it looks gorgeous.

Apparently you can use your old password saves on the remake as well.

The Sega portable games appear to be in the app stores now, I tried Altered Beast and Kid Chameleon on my iPad Air last night and they ran like a dog.

Today I bought a 3DO at the Leeds retro games fair.

It fits in nicely in retroconsolecorner!

nice !!

Yeah nice little retro corner there Trick. What does the Action Replay on the Saturn do? Just cheats for games, or something else??

They can also expand the Saturn's memory as well as allowing for playing of import games.

Just hope they make loads. They have no excuse after seeing how popular the NES Classic was.

Yeah I will definitely be getting this (hopefully if they are available) - My only disappointment is no Chrono Trigger yet I am hyped enough as it is I doubt I would have slept at all until release if that had been on there.

ShiWarrior · 26 Jun 2017 at 18:10
