Sabertooth Posted July 5, 2020 Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 Here's the ROM file if anyone is looking for it. It's an interesting platformer. For me, the controls are just a little clunky and the hit detection a bit unforgiving. It's definitely not as refined as Super Mario Bros. but has a colorful and fun look. I'm not ready to post but I'm going to keep trying though! Good luck everyone!

atarifan95 Posted July 8, 2020 Report Share Posted July 8, 2020 I might actually do this one if I get the time. I always liked the Alex Kidd games (even though I've played Enchanted Castle more often than I've played Miracle World).

DegasElite Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 I am practicing myself. My highest unofficial score is 1,800 points. It is VERY difficult and challenging. :O) Atari Creep, Justin and Gianna 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickR Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 How does one take a picture of the score? It disappears so quickly. I'm playing on a Genesis (with everdrive). I don't know if there is a pause button. Gianna and Justin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari Creep Posted July 13, 2020 Report Share Posted July 13, 2020 (edited) Live on IG tonight. I sat on the controller just before streaming.

Justin Posted July 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2020 Congratulations Gianna! Congratulations @Gianna!! Gianna scores her first big win in High Score Squad and takes the top spot on the scoreboard! I hope everyone enjoyed firing up the Master System and checking out one of Sega's most overlooked, under appreciated and forgotten classics. I enjoyed @atarilbc's thoughts on Alex Kidd in Miracle World being an interesting little platformer that felt a little clunky and with hit detection that was a bit unforgiving. I think that's a nice way to sum up the game. Did you guys enjoy the game? How does Alex Kidd compare to Mario, Sonic, and Bonk? @Gianna takes the 1st Place spot on our scoreboard with a terrific score of 22,000. Congratulations to Gianna on achieving her first High Score Squad win since joining the forums this year! @btbfilms76 takes the 2nd Place spot on our scoreboard with a nice score of 14,800, and I came very close to BTB with my score of 14,400. @Atari Creep had a nice showing in his video with a score of 8,800! Congratulations everyone on joining in this challenge and checking out a fun little game. I'd like to encourage Gianna to post her new high score on the Scoreboard, and let's make sure this Challenge continues on! NOTE: Our next High Score Squad Challenge will be an Atari 2600 game! Be there! Sabertooth, Atari Creep, TrekMD and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari Creep Posted July 16, 2020 Report Share Posted July 16, 2020 I thought it was a fun game. Wish I was able to play it more these few weeks. Deff going to play it a bot more though. My buddy had a Master System when we were kids and had an Alex kid game, just not sure what one. LOL Like you said, its an often overlooked game. Compared to say Sonic or Mario, it's kind of its own thing living in the world of a platformer. My thoughts anyway. Justin 1 Don't just watch TV, PLAY IT!

I might give this another go this weekend and see if I can top @btbfilms76 and @Gianna's high scores. 1 hour ago, Atari Creep said: My buddy had a Master System when we were kids and had an Alex kid game, just not sure what one. My buddy had a Master System when we were kids too. It's the guy I told stories about before in my livestreams and on my YouTube. He didn't have any Alex Kidd games, but when I came to the Sega scene late with the Master System II, it came with Alex Kidd built in. I had a lot of fun playing it back then. It was never my favorite Master System game but I thought it was bright and interesting. Atari Creep 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
