    Wonder Boy Anniversary Collection is a superb compilation of one of the best action platformer series from the good old days. It's a bit weird that an inferior version of it released last year but whatevs; this is a great collection regardless.

    The re-released collection of this once-flagship Sega title will probably only excite true retro gamers who want to reminisce about the game without having to buy huge arcade machines. This collection, however, doesn't stand much of a chance of reaching a new audience, in my opinion, as it lacks any extra care in porting to current hardware. [Issue#325]
