Somewhat similar to ''Alex Kidd The Lost Stars'' Wonderboy III: Monster Lair is a 2D side scrolling run n' gun game where your goal is to reach the end of every stage as quick as you can collecting various power-ups, shooting enemies and regaining health along the way. After each run n' gun stage, a shooting stage is played before reaching the boss monster of each world. The game has a urgency vitality bar that drains you of health if you're not quick enough. So it is similar to Alex Kidd The Lost Stars.

The player controls a green-haired boy hero named Leo (player 1) or a pink-haired girl hero named Princess Purapril (Priscilla in the English language versions, player 2) who must attack the invaders that attempt to collect weapons and use them to destroy the land. The gameplay consists of action and shooter scenes. The game starts out as a simple platform game, and later on the game is transformed into a shoot 'em up.

Wonder Boy III: Monster Lair was developed by Westone Bit Entertainment that was originally released for the arcades by Sega in 1988. It is the third game in the Wonder Boy series and the last one released for the arcade. A console adaptation was made by Hudson Soft, released in 1989 in Japan for the PC Engine CD-ROM System and the subsequent North American release on the TurboGrafx-CD dropped the 'Wonder Boy III' title. It was also converted and released by Sega for the Mega Drive in Japan in 1990 and Europe in 1991. Both, the TurboGrafx-CD and Mega Drive versions have been re-released for the Wii Virtual Console.

This game was never released for the 60Hz Genesis.
