First of all, the level has several ways to go, and always sends you back to the start if you take a wrong turn. I can now get to it every time, but this level is just made by some serious sadists. Have anybody else tried to legitimately beat this game?Įdit: That final level is Monster Land is some serious bullshit. Managed to keep hold on my potion until the boss in level 10 on this run, which I think is pretty good. Love the light rpg-mechanics, Ive had a ton of fun trying to figure out the best way to spend my money to get as good a gear as possible for as little money as possible, but still progressing decently so I dont waste my potion (your only extra life) to early. Still, after two evenings of play, I am now pretty close to the end, so I guess I just need to try a bit more. And as your health decreases with time - I ended up dying from time, not enemies - which felt really cheap and a sign of the games arcade origins. But that level is a true fuck-you, as it has diverging pathways as in the last castle in SMB, always sending you back to the beginning when you take the wrong turn. Poor Sega, literally 1-3 years behind at every single step.īeen playing some more Wonder Boy in Monster Land and finally managed to get to the castle, which I assume is the last level. 1987 Sega revises the Master System pad to have the cord come out the top like the NES, but the revision has an even worse, cheaper dpad than the first MS one that breaks in the corners.It is also made with cheaper plastic as the console is produced outside Japan in various places like Taiwan (Mark III and earlier, and all Nintendo consoles until the Wii, were made in Japan) 1986 Sega brings the Mark III west as the Master System, like the NES no controller docks, with an externally redesigned (more squared off controller) that still has the cords out the side, and a much worse less responsive larger square dpad than the SJ-151 or SJ-152.1985 Nintendo brings the Famicom west as the NES with an externally redesigned (more squared off) controller that keeps all internals of the hard button Famicom pad as-is (it even uses the same board) and due to the NES having no controller docks, it even improves the Famicom pad slightly by having the cords come out the top instead of the side of the controller.
1985 Sega releases the Mark III with SJ-152 controller, basically just a redesign of the SJ-151.The first all round good Sega pad (I think my favourite 8-bit Sega pad too) 1985 Sega releases the SJ-151 controller with later SG1000 II consoles with hard plastic over rubber membrane A/B buttons.Console also features controller docks on the side of the console. 1984 Sega Releases the SG1000 II, with SJ-150 controller which has a variation of the Famicom dpad, but a copy of the original Famicom soft rubber A/B buttons.1984 Nintendo updates the Famicom controller to have hard plastic over rubber membrane A/B buttons for better responsiveness.1983 Sega releases SG1000 with primitive old paradigm joystick that uses terrible old leaf connectors.Of note, the Famicom has spots to dock the controllers on the side of the console, so cords came out the side of controllers. The rubber buttons are not the best, for this reason (combined with a chip issue) Nintendo recalls these models in early 1984 and replaces them for customers.
