Wonder Boy by Sega
Synopsis:
Sorry either we do not have an official synopsis for this title or one was never actually written by the game developer, this is particularly true in the case of game packages that have multiple titles in one box. If you own this game, have access to the synopsis (usually written on the back of the box) and would like to submit it to CPC Zone for inclusion on this page, please post on our forums.

WONDER BOY starts off on along and hazardous journey, his ultimate mission to rescue his girlfriend Tina, kidnapped by the evil KING. KING lives in a faraway place, across seven bizarre and treacherous territories. Each territory is made up of four lands and each land consists of four areas. When you have reached the end of each territory you will have to defeat a mad Ogre to progress to the next level. On your way, jump over various obstacles including boulders and bonfires and kill attacking nasties such as bees, snakes and killer frogs. Whenever you see a giant egg, open it, as it will always have something for you such as a skateboard or a fairy who may protect you for a while. Do not forget to boost your strength and collect bonus points by eating exotic fruit or (riot so exotic) junk food.
SCREEN DISPLAY
At the fop left of the screen the number of lives remaining are shown. Just beneath this is a box which will display the stone axe when you have picked it up. Immediately to the right of the box are three icons representing the first three lands; upon completing a land the icon far that land will light up. When the last of the three icons is it, they will scroll off revealing a new land to be completed.
Mid way at the top of the screen your score and the highest score achieved are shown. Under this is your Vitality Meter which may be topped up by collecting certain objects or finishing a land. You must get to the end of a land before this reads zero, any vitality you have left at the end of a land will be converted into a Bonus Score.

"Wow as Wonderboy you travel across land & clouds to rescue your Girlfriend. Graphics slghtly show their age, but work. Tune is terrible, but can be turned off - making the fx great & great use of the Hardware to scroll the screen make this addictive & give this game appeal. Also, the game plays well"

"Great game when you turn your emulator up to 175%!!! Other then that, it is normally a bit slow. But it`s not the worse version of the game around."
cpc4eva says
"Its a classic arcade game but I wouldnt give it a cpc classic status... its far too slow, scrolling is jerky, has no tune like the arcades cool tune and the GFX arent cute & colourful like they should be..."
Gryzor says
"Quite primitive graphics and few sounds but great and addictive gameplay for one of the classics."
