 Hardcore Gaming 101: Wonder Boy
Monster Land ditches the prehistoric entrapments of the original game in place of a medieval world, but some of the enemies and landscapes are somewhat similar.
So technically, in the Japanese sequence, this is Wonder Boy 4, even though it's not titled as such.
Like its predecessor, the second Wonder Boy game was released in the arcades, although only in Japan - most people know it from the Sega Master System port.

 JoseQ's Emu Views
However, my first and foremost philosophy with arcade gaming is that it should be theoretically possible for the player to finish the game on credit - extremely difficult - but possible.
So, if quick, cheap arcade thrills are what you're after - this is your game - no question.
It was everything an arcade game should be - exciting in short bursts, a challenge, and technically excellent.

The arcade could also be the first (I played the game in the arcade for the first time).
When the Game Gear was introduced a Game Gear version was released.
I guess they turned it into Wonder Boy again.

 wonder boy: Monster Lair
Monster Lair is a shooting game and has some elements of the original Wonder Boy game.
Player one controls Wonder Boy and the other player a girl with a magic rod.
The game has a nice 2 player option.

 Coin-Op Museum: Wonder Boy
If you ever wondered why this game and an NES game called Adventure Island has so many similarities, the answer is simple: Wonderboy was developed by a company called Escape (who later changed their name to Westone).
Of these, 0 of them are original dedicated machines, 2 of them are conversions in which game circuit boards have been plaed in another game cabinet, and 25 of them are only circuit boards which a collector could put into a generic case if desired.
Each level has four sub levels similar to Super Mario Bros. The real trick is to keep on the skateboard that lets you take a hit from a monster and remain alive, but this is hard to do since Wonder Boy moves so fast.

 PlanetDreamcast: Features - Sega Classics: Wonder Boy 3
Wonderboy 3 was a genre blending game that offered arcade style play, heavy roleplaying elements, a password save feature (one of the earliest games to use that feature), and several different characters to play.
The only other game smart enough to capture that kind of gameplay back then was Megaman for the NES.
One of the most memorable games for me on the SMS (besides the fabled and much loved Phantasy Star) was a game called Wonderboy 3.

 SMS Power! - Forums - View topic - Wonder Boy in Monster Land version analysis
The game is full of glitches (eg: sometimes some sprites palette gets screwed up after entering a door), I saw the same glitches in arcades in Japan as well, so it is either the bootleg version they had or all versions of this game include bugs.
PS: About the "Wonder Boy" keywords, it seems that everyones call it "Wonderboy".
I played the SMS version again yesterday and noticed how the gameplay and timing were different.

Some of these are for single games, which you can play as often as you like after paying the one-time download fee, or can be a package of games.
There's a Namco Arcade Classics package, for example, which includes Pac-Man, Dig-Dug, and Galaga, so you pay one flat fee (the pricing has not yet been confirmed, but will be at least $9.99) and can play the games from this package as often as you like.
First, if you are going to play someone online, both of you need to have purchased the games package.

 IGN: Wonder Boy Preview
Wonder Boy is a platformer, so there is plenty of jumping action.
The game is incredibly colorful, and as detailed as an 8-bit game can be.
May 13, 2004 - Stopping by the SEGA booth in the Concourse Hall at E3 2004, we had a chance to go hands-on with several SEGA Mobile games, including Wonder Boy, a port of the classic SEGA Master System game that spawned a boatload of sequels -- just, none of them looked like the original.

 Midway Arcade Treasures 2 Review at Next Level Gaming!
The games were somewhat cheesy and they looked like crap compared to today’s standards, but we all have to start from somewhere.
It’s a must for old schoolers and also a must for the younger generation so they can see what we had to play and how far videogaming has come in the last 20 years.
Each game also has complete options to customize, like difficulty settings, number of lives, etc. In the arcade they're called "dip switches".

 1UP: Hudson's Adventure Island (Famicom Mini 17)
The game itself, mostly unchanged from Wonder Boy except for some graphic enhancements, is very straightforward in design.
So soon, in fact, that instead of developing an original title, they decided to have the developers of Wonder Boy (an arcade game from Sega) make an unofficial "port" for Nintendo's home console.
Hudson had a hit property in its hands, and it decided that Takahashi needed to start in a Famicom game of his own as soon as possible.

Although the games are indeed identical, Adventure Island is not exactly a "blatant rip-off" of Wonder Boy.
Hudson optioned the rights from Escape for a NES port of the game, but Sega still owned the "Wonder Boy" title, forcing Hudson to come up with a new title for the NES version, hence "Adventure Island."
The original arcade Wonder Boy game was developed by a company called Escape, who later became known as Westone.
