Review Alex Kidd: The Lost Stars (SMS)
Help Alex Kidd in a race against time
Before Sonic came along and propelled them into the big time, the world identified a big eared lad by the name of Alex Kidd as Sega’s answer to Mario. Alex Kidd in Miracle World was a worthy alternative to Super Mario Bros in the mid 80s and when bundled with the Sega Master System in Europe it helped shift...

Video Remembering Alex Kidd, Sega's Forgotten Answer To Super Mario
Hey, hey, he's a monkey
Before Sonic arrived on the scene, Sega's mascot was a monkey boy in a jumpsuit who liked playing Rock, Paper, Scissors. Alex Kidd may have been dumped as soon as the Blue Blur appeared on the Mega Drive and turned Sega into the coolest brand on the planet, but for truly dedicated fans he holds a special place in gaming...
Nintendo Download Alex Kidd, Secret Command and Mixed Messages (EU)
Two Sega Master System games and the first DSiWare update for Europe.
Not much to get excited about this time - Other than Secret Command, today's picks are fairly weak. Alex Kidd: The Lost Stars was already released in North America a while ago. It's the second game in the Alex Kidd series and basically the beginning of the end for Sega's original...
News USA VC Update: Alex Kidd: The Lost Stars
It's back to Sega games this week, it seems. Today's new game is the second game in the Alex Kidd series.
Alex Kidd: The Lost Stars was the beginning of a steep slope downhill for Sega's original mascot. The first Alex Kidd game was fairly good (We gave it a 7/10), but for the second game Sega made a massive mistake - They basically completely...
News Japanese Virtual Console list - February 2009
It's that time of the month again! Time to see what VC games Japan will be getting next month. Not much surprises this time really - Square Enix continues its support with a Japan-exclusive game, while Sega releases another game in their original mascot's franchise. Nothing really too stunning this time though! Two new games which could potentially be released elsewhere are on the list too.
The complete VC list for Japan in February is as follows: Famicom: Formation Z (Februar...

Is it as good as Miracle World?
After Miracle World the Alex Kidd games really started getting worse with every installment. This one is still ok, but don't bother with the rest, if they release them!
I have never played an Alex Kidd game but from watching the video above Miracle world looks better
At least this one's still way better than the Enchanted Castle...for 500 points this might be worth the download.
Yeah, this looks kind of boring. I might get it someday, but it's pretty low on my "must-buy" list.
Oh. It's a port of an arcade game right? I might give it a go if it comes to europe.
Man that jumping sound is annoying as hell!
A giant's body?
Eew. x_x
More Alex Kidd!!!
Of course, this might suck.
Still waiting eagerly for this.
Still waiting eagerly for this.
Can you eagerly wait for Majora's Mask next Sunday?
Could care less about Majora's when I'm waiting on more essential titles.
And funny how this just came out today!
Yeah and that's why you should wish for Majora's Mask (however if you'd rather have Earthbound, wish for that) because you have magic wish power, or something
Majora's Mask is the definition of essential! How darest thou sir/madam.
It's sir...
And sue me for not being such a Zelda fan. XD
Don't get me started on my Zelda thoughts cause I bet I'll start bruising some egos or something to that effect.
Anyway, Majora's Mask may be "essential" but what I'm referring to is more obscure games that don't have as big of a chance of being added to the VC as MM does. MM is a definite add. No doubt about that. Something else on my list like say DK64 - one of my favourite games ever - isn't as likely, I'm afraid.
@Digiki: You speak as though I've never played it before.
You bet you'll start bruising some egos huh? Why don't we talk about how stupid everything in the Zelda series is? The names for everything are unimaginative, the music is pathetic, and the characters (save for Link, Zelda, and Ganondorf) are poorly designed. And on top of all that, you struggle to have any fun while playing it. The only good Zelda game is Twilight Princess.
Zelda is simply overblown nonsense, just like Mario. But Alex Kidd on the other hand, wow! How creative, a little kid fighting monsters! Those guys at Sega sure are brilliant!
HAHA! Nuff said.
You're completely wrong on all accounts, Shinnok. I hope you were joking.
OOOOOOOOWWWWWW!!!!!!!!
Shinnok
Please let that be a joke.
Well, I was joking about Alex Kidd.
AAAAAAAAAHHHH!
This game is not very good, but it's hilarious.
