The Dragon's Trap box cover is reversible!
And there are over 80 tracks on 2 CDs. I'm listening to them right now.
A real delight 
(like the game)

Here are the contents of the box 
The game on PlayStation 4 (I already have it on PC), soundtracks, cards with art from the game.
And a huge, beautiful poster!

Got this beautiful edition of Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap 
It was the 2-CD soundtrack that motivated my purchase 
(and a good second-hand price)
The box is bigger than I expected (slightly bigger than a PC big box)

TIL the branching of the #WonderBoy franchise is surprisingly complicated. I was a Nintendo kid so I never grew up knowing any of these*...but I just started playing #WonderBoyTheDragonsTrap, which is a remake of the third game, and I LOVE it, so I started looking into this further.
There's the main Wonder Boy series, but it eventually turned into the Monster World series, with the fourth game starring a female protag instead. Then there's the remake of one of the two Wonder Boy III games (yes there's two different third games), specifically The Dragon's Trap, which itself then spawned an original successor called Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom.
And then...
* there's the entire #AdventureIsland series, which I actually *did* play. This series exists because Hudson had the rights to the game but not its branding, and so they basically created a new IP lineage from what they had.
