Page "Wonder Boy in Monster Land" Paragraph 5

Other reviews from computer magazines gave the Amiga version of the game more positive reviews.

Amiga User International praised the game's graphics, which they said were translated from the arcade version near-perfectly.

It also appreciated the game's cartoon-style graphics, which said befits the game well.

However, the review noticed that the game's code came from the Atari ST version, which, as noted in the other reviews, has resulted in choppy scrolling and a shrunken gameplay area – something which " the Amiga could do all this perfectly smoothly with one hand tied behind its back ".

The review also criticized its slow multi-load times and high retail price.

German magazine Amiga Joker liked the game's " candy-like graphics " and gameplay style, which they said compared to the unreleased title The Great Giana Sisters.

However, the reviewers criticized it for its choppy scrolling and sound, of which they said " David Whittaker has already produced much better sound ".
