This is one of the best games I have ever played on the Master system. I played the arcade version at a local bar. I didn't get this game on release as nobody did because back then you didn't know releases of games. I got this game a year later in 1988. I remember just loving this game. I would compare and brag that it was better than Super Mario Bros at the time. You shoot an ax and ride a skateboard in this as you save your girlfriend. Unlimited continues in this.

Sure, Wonder Boy's bestiary isn't quite as timeless as Super Mario Bros' (curiously enough, Sega don't seem to sell effigies of the "golliwog in a grass skirt" enemy), its levels are a tiny bit more repetitious, its music is a hell of a lot less varied, and throwing a few too many axes can cause some pretty gnarly slowdown in the last couple worlds, but it handles very well for a 1987 home console platformer and enforces a sort of manic forward progression that's quite addictive.
