About This Retro Game
Developed by Capcom's arcade division, Three Wonders was designed to offer variety in arcades. 'Midnight Wanderers' is a cute-em-up shooter starring anthropomorphic animals, 'Chariot' combines block-pushing puzzles with platforming, while 'Don't Pull' is a fast-paced action game with environmental hazards.
The game is notable for its shared visual style across all three titles, featuring colorful, cartoon-like graphics that were uncommon for arcade games at the time. Each game has its own scoring system and continues the Capcom tradition of hidden bonuses and secrets.
Though not as famous as other Capcom arcade titles, Three Wonders has gained a cult following for its creativity and technical polish. The compilation approach was innovative for its time, predating similar multi-game releases by other developers.
