The Ela Fountain 2001

WONDER BOY
Released on Arcade (8 bit), Master System, Game Gear, SG-1000 and most of the 8 bit computers, like Spectrum, MSX, C-64...Also released on Game Boy, SuperNes, NES and PCEngine under the name of Adventure Island with different graphics.

This was my very first adventure, I was nothing but a child then, when the evil king kidnapped my loved Tanya. I was about to have lunch when I found it out, so I had to get as many food as I could on my way to the king, such as milk, tomatoes, bananas...(Thöja, please don´t ask me again where did I keep all those axes, you know it´s a secret) Yes, it was a hard journey, through forests, caves...and a lot of disgusting animals were against me, but after seven long days and nights, I finally faced the evil king and, after hitting him with my skateboard on his low parts (this is the part of the story never told!), I rescued Tanya and we lived happily for a couple of years.

WONDER BOY IN MONSTER LAND
Released on Arcade 8 bit, Master System, PCEngine and most of the 8 bit computers, like Spectrum, C-64... Called "Monster World" in Japan. It was rereleased in Brazil with Monica instead of Wonder Boy.

Well, the time passed, and now I was a young warrior about to live my first big adventure. An evil Dragon from other dimension came to Wonder Land and he brought with him lots of creatures like mushrooms, bats, demons... my land soon became "Monster Land" and the people soon asked me to save our country. I tried to escape, but finally I was forced to do it :( At least I did very well, and I found out that Meka was a robot, incredible. His castle was a damned maze, I got lost a few times, but luckily I had the bell that guided me to the beast. I don´t know how Zoop was able to make an SMS emulator called MEKA, if he would have had to fight him, he wouldn´t be so fond of that bastard dragon!

WONDER BOY III:The Dragon´s Trap
Released on Master System, Arcade?, Game Gear, Mega Drive? and PCEngine. Called "Dragon´s Curse" on PCEngine and "Monster World 2" in Japan. Rereleased in Brazil with Monica instead of Wonder Boy.

Well, I knew I shouldn´t do it! After killing the dragon, he turned me, using his breath, into a lizard-man. Darn! What would Tanya say at my return? She would leave me! I couldn´t live in this disgusting (although cute) shape, so I had to look for the Salamander Cross all over the land, killing Meka´s draconian friends and all sort of creatures. The only good thing about my new dragon shape was I could easily light my cigarettes without a lighter (I always lose them) Yes, finally I did it, but my shape changed to lion-man, bird-man, piranha-man and even mouse-man! It was a bit disgusting but, now that so many years have passed, I found it funny and, to be my last adventure, it was great!

MONSTER LAIR
Released on Arcade 16 bit, Mega Drive and PCEngine.

Well, the heroes of this adventure are Leo and Priscilla, but I don´t know who are them! Maybe they´re my grandson and granddaughter, but since I never go to family reunions and so, I´m not very sure. I still can´t figure out how the hell they managed to shoot fireballs and all sorts of stuff from their swords. I´ve tried a lot, but I´m unable. It´s a shame that two rotten kids humiliate me this way.

WONDER BOY IN MONSTER WORLD
Released on Mega Drive, Genesis and Master System, called "Monster World 3" in Japan

Oh, this is the good old Shion, one of my descendants that had to save Monster Land again. He did a great job, but last week I got a letter from him and he told me he was playing the drums in a glam rock band. His blue hair is a bit shameful, but I´m very proud of his adventures. He had to fight again against mushrooms, sea creatures, and all kinds of evil forces, and when he told me about his quest, he reminded me a lot of my adventure in search of the Salamander Cross.

DYNASTIC HERO, BIKKURI MAN, MONSTERWORLD 4
The first two ones released on PCEngine, the third released on Mega Drive (Japan)

Well, I don´t have very much to say about these ones. Bikkuri man was the guy next door who tried to emulate my legendary actions, and in fact he saved the world again! And in MonsterWorld 4, Asha, the heroine, was a friend of Tanya (with the same hair style, by the way) who also saved the world (this world is becoming unhabitable, right?).
