Classic Games: Alex Kidd in Miracle World [Sega Master System II]

When I was younger, video games played a much bigger part in my life than they do today.  I spent many hours of my childhood playing on Games Consoles.  The first Games Console we ever had was a Sega Master System II.  We had a few Games for it including Sonic the Hedgehog which was one of my favourites!  The console itself actually had a game built into it, that game was called 'Alex Kidd in Miracle World'

As a kid I never managed to finish this game, but then again I was always quite hyper so I would make silly mistakes and not focus on the game properly.  As I have gotten odler I have managed to finish it but there are a few secrets in the game which many gamers would be forgiven for never discovering.  Many of these I only discovered by chance or through guides online.

I will cover other Games I love in time, I'll move throughout the consoles I had and now have and I will cover modern games too.  Oh and for Alex Kidd, I believe you can buy this game for the virtual console on Wii if you are interested in playing it - or you could just play it with an emulator.

This game is simple in its design and its controls, the story is non-invasive and you can easily sit down and just play for hours.  There are no continue points in the game though so no matter how far you get if you lose all your lives you start from the beginning again.  If you are bored or want something to do for a while I definitely recommend it.

There is also a PC based remake of the game which uses the same graphics basically but changes almost everything else but I find it annoying and very frustrating.
