Fan Base
Wonder Boy and its sequels (as well as Adventure Island) have enjoyed a considerable fan base over the years, and the success that this has generated led to a number of sequels being produced. The final worldwide release title, Wonder Boy in Monster World, was the last, due to the series being past its commercial prime, although a sequel, Monster World IV, was released for Japanese consoles only. The fan base persists nonetheless, with a number of fan sites around the Internet, including the authors of the MEKA emulator, who have campaigned for the Wonder Boy series to be continued on the (now defunct) Dreamcast.

Famous quotes containing the words fan and/or base:
“Anyone with any real blood in his or her ... veins cannot help being a fan ....Being a true American and being a fan are synonymous.”
—Lulu Glaser (1874–1958)
“And all the popular statesmen say
That purity built up the State
And after kept it from decay;
Admonish us to cling to that
And let all base ambition be,
For intellect would make us proud....”
