Nice new scores!

How have I not come across such a cool game like this? I've played the first and knew about Hudson borrowing it for their Adventure Island series, but this, it's a little bit of that (with auto scrolling) and even a shmup section? It's a winner. Except the boss battles are a bit drawn out and tapping buttons gets a bit old!

This one is extreme fun! I like Wonder Boy the original, this one is even better. Quite a challenge too!

Yeah this is a gem. I never heard of it till this competition. I liked it. The only problem I had was trying to get everything and the screen kept scrolling to fast! Nice score, puts you in 6th!

I am starting to get the hang of WB3. Collecting multiple items in mid air and shooting groups of enemies help you score big points. Plus I have figured out that pesky snake at the end of board 2. You just have to keep moving and you will not get hit by those pink beachballs.

This doesn't move me up, but gets me closer to a position, I guess.

This game is so much fun!! It blows any Mario Bros. game away, IMO.

Nah, you can never beat Mario. Although Sonic the Hedgehog did come close...

Dude you didn't go there! lol

[hansolo77]

LOL! Whats wrong with Sonic? Sorry, I didn't have a Nintendo growing up. My brother's best friend did, and I spent many hours just watching them play without having the ability to do so myself. When the 16-bit generation started, we were supposed to get a Sega Genesis for christmas, but they were sold out, so my brother got it for his birthday (January 9th). Of course, being a kid he spent most of the time telling me it was HIS console, even though when you counted up the games we had I had 12 and he had 2. But anyway, having a Sega in our house instead of a Nintendo at somebody elses meant I had a better opportunity to play it. I liked Sonic a lot. Mostly because I could PLAY it. Mario was always the original though, and you can't beat it. That's why I said it was close to beating it, but never did. Although having emulated Super Mario Sunshine, I must say that Nintendo has kinda gotten away from it's roots (Sunshine sucked.. washing spray paint? yeah thats fun... )
