Monster Lair is a console adaption of 'Wonder Boy III' made by Hudson Soft, released in Japan for the PC Engine CD and the subsequent North American release on the TurboGrafx-CD. The game balances basic concepts found in both platformers and arcade shooters. The player is able to jump and shoot projectiles from a sword. He must ride a flying dragon and confront a large boss throughout the second half of each round. The player's life bar steadily diminishes as time passes. Health is gained through collection of fruit and projectile weapons. Some fruits, when shot, will expand and burst into multiple items.
