play Hudson's Adventure Island
solid game

[Anonymous No.8176660]

I prefer New Adventure Island because it's actually possible for an organic human being to beat it without spamming continues. Plus I like the variety in enemies and stage hazards.

I don't like how they localized his name as Master Higgins

Is there a patch to fix the music in wonder boy? It's so annoying.

[Anonymous No.8176957]

I had this game as a kid and could never beat the first level.

[Anonymous No.8177150]

So, has anyone actually beat it without the bee? I feel like the developers intended for people to figure that secret out, because it is kind of ridiculous otherwise.

oh no did using continues shatter your fragile sense of self-worth?
fuck off zoomer

[Anonymous No.8177246]

It's on the manual, so I guess that was their intention

The idea of the continue system being an optional pickup is actually quite a cool gimmick. I'd like to see a Zelda or Metroid style game try something like that.

Right on.

Back to ledit with you, that's where all the people actually loathe the idea of getting good at a game and think save stating and rewinding your way to the ending counts as """"beating"""" the game.

[Anonymous No.8177889]

There's beating the games normally, then there's Adventure Island
The jump in 8-3 is absolute bullshit, and on top of that, the developers put easily gettable fireballs are a trap, as the bat placement makes it impossible to cross with the fireballs, you need the hammer

[Anonymous No.8177983]

Post your 1cc of the original game, faggot.

[Anonymous No.8178012]

>>8176667
Is Wonder Boy just Adventure Island with the same music track playing the entire game?

[Anonymous No.8178049]

>>8178012
Not quite, the 4th level from each world has a different theme, and then there's the boss theme

[Anonymous No.8178282]

I've seen the GCCX episode of that game where even the AD got stuck on that one falling platforms stage for like three hours, so no thanks.

Adventure Island on NES is better, by a lot

[Anonymous No.8179186]

I played this when it was new and thought it wasn't very good. I don't see any reason to come back to it thirty years later.

Wonder Boy arcade is harder
-No fire power up (although this isn't really that big of a deal)
-Bigger sprites, so that means tha game is more zoomed in and you have less time to react to shit. Especially annoying for the furries that come from the left
-Much like Shinobi, the game doesn't allow you to continue on the last world. A Game Over there and it's gg.

I had Adventure Island 2 for Gameboy as a 5 or 6 year old, and I was too stupid to ever make it past the second level. I've been filtered since birth.

> get good
> at games designed to make people die repeatedly to learn patterns of badly designed levels and shit-tier typical jap programming
this is why a lot of games from this era died and haven't come back. the 'arcade' ways of gaming, but in the home, were always a farce and never worked out well.

>>8180787
>I've been filtered since birth.
no. programmers were just fucking idiots that would purposely make games difficult in order to stretch out the little content that they had to offer, whereas in the arcade industry it was to milk as many coins as possible. this is why gaming during the 1980s was such a horrific shitshow.

Adventure Island 2 isn't even that hard. Stop being a pussy.

[Anonymous No.8181453]

>>8181428
it's not hard, it's just complete trash programmed by morons. stop worshiping bankrupt failures that can't code.
