More Wonder Boy name mystery
Post Posted: Mon Feb 16, 2004 11:09 pm
As a part of the never-ending work of redumping stuff, checking names and databases, I received a new dump of Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap for Game Gear, by our good fellow aRPi.

So it turned out that our early 1999 release (from the mysterious Image/Helsinki/Finland group) was in-fact a pre-approval prototype version, just like many Image dumps. See it here. So to clarify: the prototype was already circulating but not the retail version. Morality: we still have a billion of "common" games to redump. And here is the retail version. :)

As for naming stuff, the official retail version is named "Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap", and not "Wonder Boy III: The Dragon's Trap". Due to confusing numbering in the Wonder Boy series, the number was dropped from the title. The prototype version contains the number in its title, but no retail version.
