Wonder Boy Collection

This is a collection of four action platformers in which players help characters save the land from monsters. Players traverse side-scrolling environments and use weapons (e.g., spears, stone axes, swords) to defeat small enemies (e.g., skeletons, giant insects, octopuses). Enemies generally fall from the screen or disappear into puffs of smoke when defeated. Boss battles include more protracted combat. In one game, players' character can visit a store to purchase items, including beer and cocktails.
