The first episode of a brand new Podcast from Player2.net.au. This cast will look back at classic games and consoles from the past. The first episode discusses the success of the Sega Master System and why it did so well in Australia.
Games Asylum: "A remaster of SEGA’s Alex Kidd in Miracle World is imminent. If you’re wondering why this 2D platformer, dating back to 1986, is being plucked from gaming’s depths and being given a digital dust off – even gaining a collector’s edition with a bunch of goodies – then chances are you aren’t too familiar with the debut of SEGA’s pre-Sonic mascot."
No idea. Even as a kid I would much rather play Sonic or Mario games over Alex Kidd and I played anything back then and usually liked it. Not a Sega IP that I'm fond of. Now Kid Chameleon I like. Lol
Its a great game with some cool secrets/bugs in it.
Also the levels had great variety. I think thats why it stands out amongst the platformers of its time. Great music too.
I thought it was a decent game for the time. The remake/remaster is probably more tight with the controls and will be better for it.
Get your backhands at the ready, because Alex Kidd is back and running wild on the Nintendo Switch.

Nice, I love a bit of retro stuff. Gives me a podcast to listen to on the way to work!
