Wonderboy in Monster Land

The 8-90's arcade platformer returns to PC. Fight your way across Monster Land, spend your gold on better swords, shields and boots, and cut down the Mecha Dragon. Full controller support, and it always picks up right where you left off.

The arcade classic, brought over intact

Monster Land is overrun. You are the boy with the sword, and the only way through is forward — one screen at a time, past slimes, spiders, knights and the dragon at the end of it all.

Buy a better sword. Buy boots that let you run. Find the hidden doors. Keep an eye on the hourglass, because your life drains whether you fight or not.
