WonderBoy III: The Dragon’s Trap is a special game for a lot of people in a lot of ways. Today we will explore all the different paths to find its hidden gameplay and musical treasures. Much like the game, with its colorful cast of playable characters, we will not be alone on this journey of discovery. We are joined by the original composer Shinichi Sakamoto as well as Michael Geyre, Omar ‘Bock’ Cornut and Romain Gauthier from the amazing team that brought this game back to life in 2017 for the Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One and PC.
Whether you played this back in the day on the Master System, picked this up for a modern console, or even have it on your ‘wish list’ we think you will enjoy this interesting (and chaotic at times) look into a game that was so ahead of its time it’s still enjoyable today.

Hi.
I discovered your show last summer and i’m quite a fan.
I used to talk about old video games in a french podcast (la caz retro) and specially, about their ost and their composers. It’s just logic if i find myself in your show.
Dragon’s Trap is one of my favourite games and i’m particulary proud that it’s some french dev who made a such great remake.
So thanks for this podcast and thanks for your work.
great episode, thanks so much for all of these
You’re welcome! So glad you enjoyed it :)
