Ah yeah...good ol' Alex Kidd...Sega's original answer to Nintendo's Mario. It's a shame that Alex's games all sort of fell flat after such a good game as Miracle World...though Lost Stars was good for it's time, graphically anyway...

Did you know that there's an anime of Alex Kidd? I never could track down a tape or anything of it though. I always wondered what kind of story they could come up with for Alex's world.

COOL I'm really intrigued. I'd think it'll be "Kick-Ass". I'll be watching out for it aswell and I'll let you know if I come across it

I know this isn't completely on topic, but have you guys ever heard of the Zelda titles that came out on the old Phillips CDi system years ago? No Zelda/Nintendo site will make mention of these games and when I even went as far as to email Nintendo and ask if they knew where I could buy these games, they seemed like the games were not legit and wanted to know where I had seen them (hello, internet!?!?!?). Here is the box covers of those 3 games:





Here is what the game play looked like:






Doing a little web surfing a few years ago I read that these titles were originally a go with Nintendo as Phillips was producing the first CD based system components for Nintendo (like the Sega CD), but they pulled the plug. Aparently after the fallout, Nintendo pulled the rights for the Zelda content, but some games were released already. Not sure how true that is, but these games are out there and cost a pretty penny on eBay.

Its actually a very interesting story. Nintendo wanted to make a CD based platform and contacted Sony to make it. Sony was the one who made there Music chips and they agreed to make it. Nintendo however backed out of the deal and worked with Phillips, but they backed out again. Nintendo didnt like wat philips was making but they signed a contract with philips and they demanded that nintendo let some of there games be on the Phillips CD-I as it was then called. There was of course, the awful legend of Zelda games and some really bad Mario games. Sony on the other hand, continued to work on what they had originally made for nintendo and called it the playstation!
nintendo went ahead and made its own system, codenamed dolphin aka the nintendo 64 which we all know to be cartridge based opposed to the cd format

that lead to the PS vs the N64 console war
and for the philips? lets just say.....it didnt stand a chance

sorry, im a video game nerd

Yeah! like the big toe is like the captain of the toes, but sometimes the toe next to the big toe gets so
big that there's like a power struggle and the second toe assumes control of the foot.

Wonderboy III sure was awesome, and looked really nice while being awesome, but most graphically packed? I don't know Bro...if I were to cast a vote in that direction, I'd either have to go with Phantasy Star or Fantasy Zone II -The Tears of Opa Opa.

BTW, did you ever play any of the other Monster World titles that followed after Wonderboy III? There were a few that hit all three of the 16-bit platforms, but only around three of them (to my knowledge) ever made it to these shores, and one of them was nothing more than a 16-bit re-print of The Dragon's Trap (which was put on a huCard for the Turbo)!

The last Monster World title that I ever saw had switched out Wonderboy with some new female character. It was probably one sweet game, but considering all the text those games had at times, a Japanese import would've been a waste of money for a guy like me...who can't read Japanese enough to make any sense of it.

Of course that didn't stop me from buying the Samurai Shodown RPG for the Neo Geo CD, but that's a whole other story.
