Adventure Island II is the follow up to the successful Adventure Island, one of the games which really cemented Hudson Soft as a force to be reckoned with in the 80s and 90s. The second game features a much larger variety of dinosaur partners to ride on.

Adventure Island has something of a storied history, in that the series started as a licensed adaptation of Wonder Boy – developer Escape (now Westone) retained the IP for the game and characters from Sega’s game, but created new characters for Hudson Soft while keeping the same style of gameplay.
