The best Alex Kidd game... which isn't saying much, but I actually had fun with this one, you actually have a health bar, your attacks have a decent range, and no more pointless matches of rock, paper, scissors to get in the way of your gameplay, but with that in mind, it went from a bad game to an average game, it's fun, but it's super short with only 4 worlds, containing only 2 acts and one boss each, and for an Alex Kidd game, it's surprisingly easy (despite having some pretty naughty moments), the game is pretty generous with health pickups, and if you have full health, all the chests' health pickups will be replaced by 1UPs, making the game even easier, the bosses are also a walk in the park and die with a sneeze, except for the final boss who in the first form you have a tiny amount of time to run at him and hit him, if you take too long, his shield will hit you, the other two forms are fairly easy, though. It's an OK game to pass the time, but it doesn't have anything to offer.
