The third entry refines the formula with new rideable dinosaurs and varied levels. One of the best entries in the saga. Overlooked but superior to many NES platformers of its era.

Takahashi Meijin no Bouken-jima III (NES) price, value & rarity
Is Takahashi Meijin no Bouken-jima III still worth playing in 2026?
The third entry in Hudson's series, Adventure Island 3 enriches the formula with new dinosaur mounts of distinct abilities and more varied islands, while keeping the snappy run and the emblematic fruit collecting. The prehistoric companions add a tactical layer and a touch of flexibility to a still high challenge. The careful production draws the best from the machine. For a demanding retro platforming fan, a Master Higgins fan or a collector, the title keeps an infectious energy and an accomplished arcade pleasure.
