So I put the effort into beating Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle. I do not really know how to feel about. I cant dislike because it is Sega, but I cant bring myself to love it either. There is many kool aspects and features in it, but they are equally matched by flaws. I like all the powers ups, but I dislike the control's there too slippery. Any one have mix feelings about this game/series.
-
This is one series I never understood.
-
Congrats on beating it.
Honestly, the only franchises off the Master System that I've really gotten into are Fantasy Zone and Wonder Boy. Alex Kidd never clicked for me either.
-
It just has something missing has the ability to be good but just lacks the tools to make it good.
-
Wasn't Sega trying to make Alex Kidd their mascot in order to compete with Mario?
-
Yeah, Alex was SEGA's answer to Mario.
Alex Kidd is a really interesting video game character and series. I like to think of him as the Oswald the Rabbit of SEGA. In his heyday he was the star, given loads of press and a number of games. Then when Sonic arrived, Alex Kidd was quickly kicked to the curb and the flaws of the series and character became very apparent.
I wasn't aware of Alex Kidd in the 90's, since I was a Sonic kid, but I did learn more about him in the early '00's and played most of his games. They're fun, no doubt, but they are missing something. I think that "something" is what Sonic has and Alex doesn't have. Alex Kidd felt too difficult, he was too prone to death. One hit deaths kill a game, in my opinion. I hate walking on pins and needles when I play a platformer. The best platformers take more than one hit to kill the player: Mario has a maximum of three, Sonic varies but you're pretty much assured to live if you have a lot of rings.
The punching mechanic is kind of lame. It's not the coolest attack. Ristar, however, has a similar method of attack but it's far cooler. Stretchy arms help.
Anyway, I do like Alex Kidd, if only for the history behind the series. I love how SEGAGAGA utilized him:

Poor guy. I also really liked his cameos in SASASR and Superstars Tennis. He deserves the recognition. His games may be so-so, but the character was fun to play as in those instances.
-
Agreed punching is a bit weak. The power bands or shooting bands whatever they are, make the game more accessible since it adds a range attack. I like the power ups over all but it is also pretty lame when you die because you lose which ever one you use. The Pelicopter is great and it was cool to be able to use it in all star racing as a power up. I only used the bike once in enchanted castle though.
-
I loved all of the master system alex kidds except for that educational game (that rpg thing). Tbh alex kidd in the miracle world is simply a classic. To me it is not better than sonic 1 for either the master system or genesis, but it stood strong as a slow platformer next to sonic. I think its a waste they havent done anything with alex kidd yet because i imagine with the right people, alex kidd could be a great platformer. I do gotta say they really gotta do something about his design, really dont like his sumo digital design.
The genesis game... from day one i thought it kind of sucked balls

I agree with you. I loved Alex Kidd. I played through them all on release except the Genesis one. Miracle World was the best.
Crazy Tails, on Alex Kidd in High Tech World, did you figure out to pray to the gods 100 times for the passport? I had to call SEGA's free hint line.

Lol I really don't remember much about that game. All I remember is that I entered this room where this woman was asking me all these difficult questions I had to answer, and I didn't know what the answers were. The worst part, I couldn't quit untill I did answer them... don't know if this sounds familiar lol. But I haven't really played the game from that day. All the other alex kidds are great games, I personally love the weird alex kidd and the lost stars as well hehe. Oh what a strange game
-
That quiz is right at the beginning. After that you have to work your butt off to collect pieces of a fake passport... Then you get caught with the fake passport and you get turned away. There's a little shrine where if you go up to it and press a button, you kneel down and pray with a little dialogue window. Then if you do that 99 more times, rhe passport falls out of the sky. High Tech World is a video arcade... That's the jist of it. Weirdest game ever.
-
Scissors, Paper, Rock boss fights are the best thing ever.

Wasn't Sega trying to make Alex Kidd their mascot in order to compete with Mario?
No, not entirely true.
SEGA's original mascot was Opa-Opa. Though the popularity of Alex's games made him edge out Opa-Opa as SEGA's official mascot but even his tenure as official mascot was a rough one. Soon after Joe Musashi and the Shinobi series became one of SEGA's key franchises on consoles (Even though he was already in the arcades, Revenge of Shinobi was seen as a key title for launch of the Mega Drive) and so even Musashi was stepping on Alex's turf. SEGA though clearly never saw Alex as the rival to Mario and did not think he was "cool" enough for children so the idea to create a new mascot, which eventually would become Sonic the Hedgehog, was born.
-
...which ultimately was depicted in this moment of comic genius as featured in Segagaga...

-
I never played Alex Kidd.
-
I just beat the first one on PSN not too long ago.
I liked certain parts of it (the vehicle sections, character design, block puzzles), but I wasn't a big fan of how close you had to get to things to punch them, or trying to do any precision platforming. Running off the other side of a small platform, right into a one-hit-death was a pretty common occurence.
Some of the power ups were a nice way to counter the difficult platforming a bit.

SEGA Talk Podcast: Alex Kidd in Miracle World (1986)
(http://segabits.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/D2RDUDBXQAAwYXQ-750x422.jpg)
Described as “SEGA’s answer to Mario”, Alex Kidd is a character who brings back fond memories for some, and frustrating memories for others.
We discuss the development history, the game’s connection to Dragon Ball and debate whether Alex Kidd was ever really a mascot.

On the new game HUD, I wanted to make the game have something interesting to offer for the player.
In Alex Kidd there are active objects that only work in certain parts of the game, but there are also active objects that you can use whenever you want.
This in the old system was rudimentary, whereupon we planned a completely new inventory for Alex.

Ramon Nafria (Producer): "As a Sega fan, I always wanted to play new games with classic characters like Alex Kidd, Opa Opa, Joe Musashi, and so on.

I dunno if it's the nostalgia talking, but can't wait to play AKDX. First game I have ever played!
My first Alex Kidd game is Mega Drive version which was not very good, so first memory of him was that he wasn't appealing.
Sonic on the other hand ....

I mean Alex Kidd was the first game I have ever played!
At the time our family wasn't that well off, but our mother got us a Master System II, we never had such luxurious technology before. And this was back in... oooh I dunno, 1991? I can't remember how old I was, I just remember being very young. Maybe 3 years old. And this was before internet became a common thing let alone home computers.
We didn't have many games for it... honestly I can't remember what games we had for it given we we're poor, but the Master System II had a game built into it and thus that Alex Kidd was my very first ever video game I have ever played.
Given this was before save files, back then playing a Master System (and Mega Drive) game was like a gauntlet. If you wanted to play through the game until the end, you had to do so in one sitting. Have the attention span of a three year old? Too bad. Had a bed time of nine o'clock? Too bad. Game Over? Too bad, back to the start!
I remember the level, or to be more precise the "Scene" where Alex reaches the king just to get exposition, no stage, enemies or challenge, just a text box. And that while I know the game had a story I was following it made my 3 year old min wonder if video games could be used to tell stories?
I'm kinda sad with myself that I'm 33 now and I'm still not the video game developer that 3 year old me wished to be.

I see. My first game that I played is Game & Watch: Chef ,
and even that handheld was belong to my cousin.
I was simply borrowing it.
Watched many games on arcade but never try them until later when I was old enough to study at school.

Console games were still also considered a luxury when I was a kid.
My first gaming system was IBM PC XT (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_Personal_Computer_XT).
My dad bought it so I could learn Wordstar, Lotus, and Basic early,
but of course I used it mostly for playing DOS games.

The 90s was an interesting time for gaming. Sort of like a pioneer. Glad I grew up around then. I remember as a child with graph paper, filling out the squares and dreaming of making my own 8-bit games at the time.

I loved making comic when I was a kid.
I was not good at drawing, but loved making plot of story in comic style.
That was in elementary, after in high school I stopped making them.
Can't remember why I stopped. May be something else interest me more.

Limited Run Games releasing an English package version of the SEGA Astro City Mini

The Limited Run version of the SEGA Astro City Mini will only be limited to 3,500 units, which will probably make this version sought after in the collectors market compared to the regular Japanese version.
As far as I know, the SEGA Astro City Mini unit included inside the English packaging is exactly the same as the Japanese retail unit.

Alex Kidd Series Retrospective | SEGA Forever
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jj9i8rdBEqU
-
I only played the one Alex Kidd game growing up, but given it was the first ever video game I ever played it's why Alex Kidd had cemented with me as an important Sega character to me.
-
Before Mega Drive arrives, game stores here only sell Spica (NES clone) console and games back then, so we miss a lot of Master System games, including Alex Kidd.

Game Gear, Master System, and SG-1000 games playable on Analogue Pocket OpenFPGA

The new OpenFPGA feature recently made available to Pocket owners with firmware update version 1.1 beta.
In short, this allows developers to make all new “cores” for the Pocket’s FPGA hardware, allowing it to run games from other retro game hardware it was not originally intended to replicate.
This is an official update from Analogue, which they’ve made clear since the Pocket’s original announcement was something they’d always intended for it to have, even if it couldn’t be there on release.
Now that it’s finally here, the first new community developed cores included ones made to run Sega Game Gear, Master System, and SG-1000 games, created by spiritualized1997.
You can download these straight from their Github page.

Rieko Kodama, also known as Phoenix Rie, has passed away.
She was a major designer for the Phantasy Star series, directing IV, and produced several games including Altered Beast, Phantasy Star IV, Alex the Kidd, Sonic 1, and Skies of Arcadia.
She will be greatly missed.

“In Memory of Rieko Kodama” – Remembering the Legendary SEGA Designer, Director and Producer
The SEGA AGES series was Kodama’s last project at SEGA.

(https://i.ibb.co/wKGkvyT/Sega-Ages-All.jpg)
In a bittersweet moment, Kodama ended her interview with Famitsu remarking “This might upset some people, but I work on each as though it were the last thing I did with my life”.
Kodama continued, saying “If I didn’t actually do it that way, I wouldn’t be able to make something as full of heart as these. And I really have worked on all of them as though they were my last project.”

I could make a whole reboot of an Alex Kidd game with a combat system centred around rock paper scissors.
I even came up with my own idea for a card game (inspired by Triple Triad (https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Triple_Triad)) that uses the rock-paper-scissors formula.

The rock paper scissors system unfortunately was hated by new players of Alex Kidd.
That's why in SEGA AGES version they put spoiler in the top and bottom of the screen what rock/paper/scissors we have to use against the bosses in sequence.

But for card games I think it's still be fun to play.

But for card games I think it's still be fun to play.
Rock, paper and schissors in Alex Kidd was unfair given you had to learn the patterns by blind luck or death.
If I were to reboot Alex Kidd, I would introduce two new martial arts to compliment Alex' Shellcore style. Bladecore and Fancore.
Each core technique is based on rock, paper and scissors and certain enemies and obstacles require the right core technique to deal with them.
As for the card game in mind, that's more lengthy to explain, but the idea is Alex Kidd may visit saloons and sit in games that play this card game for prizes.

As of January 1 2024, Steam will officially stop supporting the Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 operating systems.

After that date, the Steam Client will no longer run on those versions of Windows.
In order to continue running Steam and any games or other products purchased through Steam, users will need to update to a more recent version of Windows.
This change is required as core features in Steam rely on an embedded version of Google Chrome, which no longer functions on older versions of Windows.
In addition, future versions of Steam will require Windows feature and security updates only present in Windows 10 and above.

Alex Kidd - A Tasty Rice Ball Loving Hero
(https://i.ibb.co/D4QrWyG/Alex-Kidd-Pics.jpg)
Alex Kidd was SEGA’s answer to Mario and for a while he was prominently featured until a certain blue hedgehog helped SEGA reach their footing to go against Nintendo.
What sets Alex Kidd apart from similar games like Super Mario Bros. titles is the inclusion of item management, where you can find money hidden in blocks and buy items from shops to help Alex on his adventure.

Gaylex Kidd in Rainbow World (SEGA Master System)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stzTUNkuFuY
(https://www.smspower.org/uploads/Hacks/AlexKiddInMiracleWorld-SMS-GaylexKiddInRainbowWorld-Mod-4.png)
I wanted to create a funny, unique and slightly trashy hack of Alex Kidd. So I made a gay version of it (I'm bisexual, so it kind of corresponds with myself^^).
Story: The Evil Gaylord captured Prince David and his wife. They are the only heterosexuals in a land called Rainbow World. If nobody rescues them, people of Rainbow World will extinct. So Gaylex, the brother of David, has to rescue them and fights his way through a lot of pretty kinky and gayish levels, including dirty water levels with octopuses on a toilet, an ancient pyramid with enemies looking like butts with eyes, dick clouds, hitler's castle and so on. The game is noting for kids either.^^
