Cursed by the Meka-Dragon as a half-human/half-beast creature it's your goal, as Hu-Man or Hu-Girl, to find the only item that can remove the dreadful curse: the Salamander Cross.

Each dragon you slay, however, transforms you into another beast-hybrid, exacerbating the curse further. You can also take form as Lion-Man, Pirahna-Man, Mouse-Man, Hawk-Man, and Lizard-Man and use their abilities to aid your quest.

With three difficulty levels available, Wonder Boy can be played in the classic 8-bit format, or in the more modern hand-drawn style.

Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap is available to purchase from the Nintendo Switch eStore now for £17.99/$19.99.
