Wonder Boy: Monster Land (Japan bootleg) — About this game
Fight through a monster world with sword and magic. Defeated enemies yield coins for armour, shields and boots that improve survival and movement. Progress comes from buying equipment rather than experience levels. The hourglass keeps counting down and drains health when empty, so continue advancing while exploring shops and hidden places.
