New Week in Monster World

It's Monday and that means a new week here on Planet Zone! I had a low key weekend spent watching Kaiju Masterclass panels and playing Gundam Breaker on my Galaxy Tab. The Mrs and I did make it out to some stores for a few things. While out I managed to find Cyberverse Sludge, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe Trap Jaw, MOTU Mega Construx Scuba Attack Zodak (finally), and the Ghostbusters Fright Features Venkman with Terror Dog. I was starting to think I'd never find that Zodac and now just got to find the Winston with Slimer before the kids come out.

I intended to straighten up my toy room, but looks like that's going to be a project for next weekend. I've got a pretty big backlog of toys (mostly Transformers) to work through as well. I started feeling sick in the spring before everything came to a head mid summer. That lead to a lot of time resting and not feeling like doing much of anything. Of course I'm feeling much better now and have a small mountain of unopened toys purchased during that time to go through.

It's Monday morning now, though still Sunday night as I'm typing this. I have a late night tradition of watching Beyond Belief on Amazon Prime untill I fall asleep Sunday nights. It's probably one of my favorite all time shows. I'm happy. I haven't talked about my health issues much since everything happened this summer. However I have some good news. You see, I'm on a lot of medication and go to the doctor a lot. I had my first Heart Echo since I was in the hospital this past week and got the results this weekend. While I'll always have a condition and have to take care of it, I've also recovered quite a bit. Guess who's got two thumbs and an nearly normal operating heart?

This guy.

Thanks everyone for reading Zone Base. It means so much to me and I appreciate the support. As usual all I ask is please share with your friends.

Wonder Boy V-Monster World III On Your Locked In Day

Looks like another day locked up inside, good thing you've got that Sega Genesis/Mega Drive Mini with all your Turbo Changer Transformers next to it to keep you occupied. A great game loaded on the System is Wonder Boy V- Monster World III. There's like a million Wonder Boy games and Monster World is a series within a series type of thing. 

Yes it's confusing.

Once you get past the naming structure, you're sure to find one hell of a great game. A hybrid action platformer/rpg with bright charming characters. The game starts out simple and the difficulty gradually increases as you go. Thankfully the Mini has built in saves, but I recommend you keeping a pad of paper nearby. There's several ocarina (Wonder Boy rocked one before Link y'all) songs you'll have to find and play at points. I'd make a point to not stick the notepad near your beverage.

Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom trailer

The upcoming follow up to the recent remake of Wonder Boy: The Dragons Trap looks to follow in the great footsteps the first game left. Those beautiful animated graphics really looks sharp. Looking forward to this.
