Four classic games from SEGA's influential platforming series
- Great collection of nostalgic games from the 80s, providing lots of fun and a throwback experience.
- Well-emulated games with solid options for saving and button remapping, making gameplay smooth and enjoyable.
- Includes a variety of games from the Wonder Boy series, with some unique gameplay experiences.
- Missing key titles like Wonder Boy III: The Dragon's Trap and Dragon's Curse, which diminishes the collection's value.
- Barebones options and confusing menu configurations, lacking basic features like turning off art borders and integer scaling.
- Difficult-to-read menu text and some unintuitive aspects that could have been modernized for a better user experience.

The TurboGrafx-CD version of the game is praised for its superior music quality, featuring CD-quality tracks composed by T's Music, known for their work on classic titles like Lords of Thunder. This version also retains the original sprites and includes all levels from the arcade, enhancing the overall experience compared to the Genesis version, which lacks two levels.
“The TurboGrafx-CD version was released stateside, which was superior as it used the original sprites and tiles from the arcade version, has all the levels from the arcade version (the Genesis version is missing 2), and features CD-quality music by T's Music, who also worked on Lords of Thunder among other classic games.”
