Wonder Boy III: Monster Lair (ワンダーボーイIII モンスターレア), simply titled Monster Lair in North America, is the true third game in the Wonder Boy series originally developed for the Sega System 16 and later the Sega Mega Drive. It was ported to the CD-ROM² as an actual Wonder Boy title, although Sega was not involved with it.

Legacy
The CD-ROM² and Mega Drive versions of the game were brought to the Wii's Virtual Console service.
Versions
On CD-ROM² hardware, Wonder Boy III is very close to its arcade counterpart, but does not feature any parallax scrolling. It does, however, include a CD audio soundtrack with higher quality versions of the music tracks heard in the arcade. The nature of the CD-ROM format means there are also loading times. However, these are small prices to pay for a near-perfect port of what was then a new arcade game, something that was typically impossible at the time.
