Oh boy, so, this week on #VGMWednesday I fell down a little rabbit hole.
Today's game is The Dynastic Hero for the Turbo Grafx CD, a console I know very little about as my childhood was so embroiled in the Nintendo/Sega console war I didn't realise other consoles existed, until the PlayStation 1.
Chances are, if you owned a Sega Genesis or Megadrive, you have played this game, as it is a slightly edited port of Wonder boy in Monster World, one of my favourite games on the console.
This version features an animated opening, complete with a vocal song! Better yet, there are English and Japanese versions, which are completely different! So I figured I'd share both of them.
English version:

Japanese Version:

The English version I find particularly cringe worthy, but I don't think the Japanese version is any better!
