It's hard to raise the subject of the Mark III / Master System without mentioning Alex Kidd in Miracle World, and
squaring it up against Nintendo's Super
Mario Bros. (1985).
In many territories both games
came packaged with their respective hardware, and though Alex Kidd is nowhere near as accomplished
a game as SMB, Master System owners still got themselves
a great deal.
Sega titles have always had a tougher,
sharper, and more rigid style of play than Nintendo's,
and this game is no exception. In fact it's one tough little cookie - that irritated
a fair few players over the years with its punishing
difficulty and tightrope gameplay. Each jump must be
pixel-perfect and every attack perfectly timed... Skill, level memorisation and meticulous item
management are required if you want to see the end of this one.
Alex Kidd will forever remain in Mario's shadow, yet it remains a classic in every sense: many players honed their skills right
here, and even today some savage gaming lessons can be learnt
in Miracle World.
