Wonder Boy The Dragon's Trap

Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap brings back the cult-classic action-adventure with beautiful hand-drawn animation and a re-orchestrated soundtrack. Cursed into a half-human, half-lizard creature by the Meka-Dragon, you set out to find the Salamander Cross, a magical item with the power to remove curses and return you to human form.

Each dragon you slay deepens the curse, transforming you into a different animal. You explore large, interconnected locations populated by grumpy monsters and exotic dragons, taking on the forms of Lizard-Man, Mouse-Man, Piranha-Man, Lion-Man, and Hawk-Man and using each one's unique abilities to uncover the land's deepest secrets.

This modern version is a collaboration between Lizardcube, DotEmu, and original series creator Ryuichi Nishizawa. You can play as the classic Hu-Man or the long-awaited Hu-Girl, choose from three difficulty levels, and switch between modern visuals and 8-bit graphics and audio at any time, even mid-game.
