games similar to Wonder Boy in Monster Land?

[Edmond Dantes]

I actually 100%ed it without a walkthru, although one puzzle (the one about uncorking the well) I actually solved almost by accident.... I got what the idea was but I don't think I was doing the exact method, but I kept trying and when I didn't even think I was done, suddenly the cork comes out.

The only other thing I didn't like was it doing the thing where you have to go over old ground to find artifacts. Admittedly two of them were in places I wanted to explore anyway, but then one was kinda BS.

I'm now actually almost done with Wonder Boy in Monster World on the Sega Genesis... I'm kinda shocked with how short the game was. Like "I'm at the end already? Seriously?"

Spoilers for everyone else.

The Haunted Mansion was where I got stuck. Multiple times. I was pissed. So the first part was the ghost that jumped to different objects, now, I didn't notice the ghost jumped into the cabinet, and the cabinet didn't glow yellow like everything else, so after not being able to solver the globe sort of thing, I then looked up a readable guide which I was like wtf, I still can't get through, and then looked up a video guide. So much time was wasted on this and again, I was sooooo pissed. Then I got to the point where I had to use the telescope, I tried and tried and tried to complete it and I was doing it correctly and until I looked it up, I was like, wow, this is fu**ing bs, that this is here before you even get access to it. I tried to make it again and again to the metal ball up top and for the life of me couldn't. I didn't realize that the ghost that appeared stopped and you had to attack it to create another, again, video guide. Then finally, after getting to the point with the door that you unlock by going into the lock, I didn't notice at first you have to BREATH FIRE to make the area open up, I only blew fireballs, again, video guide. And after I did that I went into the lock I couldn't figure out for the life of me how to pass it until again a fucking video to see that you had to hit the lock to the side.

I did the rest of the game on my own, but there were so many parts on the Haunted Mansion that were complete bullshit simply because the developer just assumed that all of these things that you've never once had to do in the game that you'd actually be able to understand it. Never once have you ran into something with the lion form that wasn't a specific button, so the lock itself allowing you to move it by running into it was bullshit. Never once did you find, even where any other cat statues were located at that breathing fire actually did anything. You didn't even have the ability to complete the telescope when you got to it and if I didn't remeber it saying shine a beam of light out of the telescope I would have had to look that up too because how fucking obtuse is that. And like everything else the cabinet didn't glow yellow and I didn't notice it, how the fuck do they expect us to get past the part when it doesn't glow so you just assume you can't enter it. Oh, and one last thing. You can barely, BARELY see the light coming out of the tub to let you know that you can go through the tub with the snake. Who the fuck is going to look a mile a fucking way on a secret that's all the way across the map? Yes, it's another fucking bullshit "puzzle" that I couldn't figure out after wasting so much fucking time on this piece of shit area. As you can see, I've just gotten more and more pissed just talking about this fucking area, and yeah, I'd remember the shit now, but I wasted so much fuckng time trying to figure that shit out on my own which the game does an absolute piece of dog shit job at advising the player. I'm talking hours, fucking hours, at that God damn bullshit. That one part almost ruined the entire experience I had at the game and I was pretty much done. I should have just watched a God damn walk through and did it step by step and saved my fucking time, but I was so close to either snapping the game in half or selling it, one or the other.

I know for certain that when I do eventually go back to the game in the future and replay it, despite now knowing exactly what to do, that area is going to forever piss me off because of my past memories. The one and only fucking area in the game that I had to look up a guide multiple times and each time try to progress on my own until I hit a brick wall again. The rest of the game was amazing though and none of that bullshit experience either.
