What players say
🏆 100% Achievements Unlocked I have very fond memories of the original Alex Kidd in Miracle World on the Sega Master System. My dad bought me a Master System II (which had Alex Kidd built-in) along with Wonder Boy in Monster Land for Christmas when I was around 4 years old. I have good memories of Christmas morning around 1990 playing Alex Kidd with my dad. The DX version is an incredible remake with updated visuals...
Alex Kidd in Miracle World DX is not so much a game as it is a beautifully restored emotional injury. On the surface, it is a bright, charming remake of a classic Master System platformer. The visuals are lovely, the music has been nicely brought back to life, and with one button you can flick between the shiny new version and the original, which is a neat little feature if you want to remind yourself what happiness...
A terrible game - You die in one hit, the difficulty is excessive, and there's no checkpoint. - There's no restart feature. - A killer pops up from a box and kills you. - The player's movement is unbalanced while jumping on platforms, and there's no controller option to adjust it. - The boss you play rock-paper-scissors against always wins, and you have to play again and again until you finally get lucky and beat...
