SEGA Master System

Alex Kidd in Miracle World

Nesta aventura, Alex Kidd tem de salvar sua cidade natal, Radactian, dominada por Janken, em 11 fases. Ele vai precisar de muito dinheiro e vai procurá-lo pelo caminho, quebrando "caixinhas" e pedras, superando obstáculos. Com o dinheiro, ele compra helicópteros, anéis, lanchas e motocicletas, objetos que vão ajudá-lo em sua missão. Os objetos sçao comprados antes de cada fase, entrando numa lojinha onde as mercadorias são expostas.

Alex Kidd in Miracle World is stock for anyone interested in the Master System. You simply have to own this game because it was one of the core titles that gave the console some sense of individuality, at least in the US. There are plenty of features to be discovered, excellent graphics, great usage of sound, and the only real problem is the control issue, but it's not that big of a deal. This is simply a great game all around and a nice display of what Sega could have done for so many more games for the SMS.

Alex Kidd in Miracle World é um dos motivos que fazem alguns colecionadores guardarem com tanto carinho a caixa básica do Master System na estante. As aventuras de Alex Kidd se eternizaram na mente de todos os jogadores de Master System — o saudoso príncipe de Radactian ganhou extensão indefinida em nossa memória. Por isso, em nome de todos os donos e ex-donos de Master System, Miracle World sempre terá um espaço muito especial reservado em nossa memória.

A modo de conclusión, solo cabe decir que se entiende por qué SEGA decidió obsequiar con este título a todos los que comprasen la Master System II, salió prácticamente al mismo tiempo que la consola, fue uno de los títulos más grandes que tuvo en sus inicios y encima lo protagonizaba la mascota de la compañía en esa época, así que con esa conjunción era el título más lógico para instalar en la memoria de la máquina, ellos querían un título que arrastrase a posibles compradores y desde luego éste lo era.

Pour finir, je dirais que pour le segamaniaque que je fus durant ma jeunesse, Alex Kidd fait figure de Mario. Le fait que cette licence (et cette mascotte) ait été abandonnée par Sega depuis bientôt 15-16 ans me rend à la fois triste (à quand un Sega Ages 2500 de ce jeu?), mais aussi heureux. Heureux aussi de ne pas retrouver aujourd'hui un vieux monsieur, ne comprenant rien aux nouvelles technologies et au TOUT-3D d'aujourd'hui, et engendrant un soft complètement à l'ouest ayant comme seul faire-valoir, l'aspect nostalgique/pigeon. Oui, heureux en fait...

While Alex Kidd in Miracle World was not the Mario-killer that Sega hoped (and needed) it to be, it turned out to be a classic Sega title that everyone should experience. Miracle World was a great start to a new Sega franchise, one that consequently showed a great deal of potential, unfortunately Sega failed to develop it into a series with staying power. Thus, as Nintendo still dishes out Mario titles even today, Alex Kidd is a dead franchise. Nevertheless, Sega's innovative additions to the gameplay in this genre were a welcome step, which led to the creation of one of the best Master System games ever, and only a few minor (but important) problems kept it from being one of the best 8-bit titles. It is arguably the best of the Alex Kidd games (with Alex Kidd in Shinobi World as its only competition) and is a Sega classic.

You will expertly guide Alex through the city of Radactian, dark caves littered with bats and fires, and through forests and plains on his motorcycle. You will have him flying above the sea in his Pedicopter, on the sea in his speedboat, and under the sea with only a good pair of lungs and a huge fist to see him through. The theme music is incessant, so it's a good thing that it's irresistible. The unforgettable tune--and a few others--will accompany you as you traverse the adverse conditions of the land, which seem so contradictory to its simple beauty. Charm, and fun will accompany you too, through this most difficult, but never frustrating, journey. Alex Kidd in Miracle World transcends and weaves its magic through the years, like a storybook legend.

This was a landmark game for the Sega Master System, even if it didn't define the generation like Mario eventually did. The game is gorgeous and it sets the scene for Sega's continued use of color in almost all of its games. Seek out a Master System from the internet and hunt down the cartridge. You won't regret it.

Bleibt zu sagen, das Alex Kidd in Miracle World trotz seines etwas geringen Umfangs (man kann das ganze problemlos in ca. 3 Stunden durchspielen) ein sehr gelungenes Jump n’ Run ist, das viel Abwechslung bietet und neben Shinobi und Sonic 1 zum besten Plattformer für das Master System zählt.

Before Sonic the Hedgehog there was Wonderboy. Before Wonderboy there was Alex Kidd. He was Sega's first mascot to compete with Nintendo's famous plumber. Chances are good that you met him in mediocre games like Alex Kidd in High Tech World, Alex Kidd: The Lost Stars, Alex Kidd BMX Trial or his Genesis outing, Alex Kidd in Enchanted Castle. But before he turned into the pansy-hippy-like guy with huge sideburns, he was the star of one of the best Master System titles released: Alex Kidd in Miracle World.

Miracle World's graphics were vivid and comical, and the music was equally perky. These child-appealing elements hid some challenging difficulty, though. Had Alex been on a more popular system, his legacy may have carried on to the next-gen consoles. As it is, he remains just a fond memory.

A nivel personal Alex Kidd in Miracle World me parece un juego de referencia, no sólo en la vida de Master System, sino en la historia de Sega, que por desgracia ha caído en un injusto olvido tanto entre los aficionados como dentro de la propia compañía, más de una década hace ya que no tenemos la compañía del príncipe de Radaxian, viviendo una nueva peripecia en nuestras pantallas. ¿Será rescatado de su ostracismo para Game Boy Advance?.

If you own a Master System the odds are that you already have this game. And if not, why not? It’s a classic.

Nun denn, viele meinen "Alex Kidd in Miracle World" ist das beste Spiel für das Sega Master System, ich möchte dem aber widersprechen. Es ist ohne jeden Zweifel ein gutes Spiel, mehr aber auch nicht. Sonic oder Rastan oder Golden Axe Warrior sind besser!

Ich kann jedem Besitzer des Master-Systems empfehlen, sich dieses Spiel anzusehen. Auch Freunden guter Action-Adventures à la "Wonderboy", die kein Videospiel besitzen, würde ein Blick auf dieses tolle Programm nicht schaden.

Geschicklichkeits-Klassiker mit vielen Ideen, Extras und elegant eingestreuten Puzzle-Elementen.

Can you resolve the mystery of the map and the Sun Stone medallion? The people of Radactian City hope so!
