Annoying ass Wonder Boy III: The Dragon's Trap glitch

[jp]

So I snagged WBIII for my girlfriend for her birthday, and we're getting around to playing it, and the fucking extra hearts won't appear in the chests! The first one appeared fine, but every single extra heart chest afterwards has nothing in it.

Its fucking frustrating, and makes me not even want to play the fucking game anymore. Hate it that her first exposure to an otherwise great game got ruined by some stupid glitch or something. :redface:

Clean the contacts on the cart and system, man. Maybe the program is not communicating properly with the CPU.

That's fuckin weird. I've never experienced that glitch before and I've probably played through the game 50 times.

New one on me, too.

I restarted and the hearts worked fine. Actually beat the game in one sitting when I did that. :o
