What We Said Then

Jaz: The combination of adventuring, shooting and platform action results in one of the best games of its type for any console.

Wonder Boy 3 The Dragons Trap

Matt: This has to rank as one of the greatest Master System games ever!

What We Say Now

Jaz: Another classic which has withstood the rigours of time. This is a truly brilliant arcade adventure and still deserves every mark awarded to it.

Rich: This is just as good as ever it was! I still find the immense depth of the game amazing, and the quest to return Wonderboy to his original form makes for what still is probably the best Master System game ever! All of the marks should remain static.
