| Name: | Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle |
| Author/Vendor: | Sega |
| Released: | 1987 |
| Type: | Platform |
| Language: | English and Japanese |
| Premise: | Alex Kidd is the brother of King Igul, ruler of Planet Aries. Acting on a rumored sighting of their missing father, Alex travels to the planet Paperock to find him. Why the name? Because the child's sport of Paper-Rock-Scissors is a planetwide institution, and those who visit must display some talent in the game. The only known MegaDrive entry in the long-running and popular series of arcade and console games by Sega. |
| Impressions: | Don't laugh at me for this, but I think it's actually a really good platformer. Not very challenging, but well worth playing. Not bad for a game made back in 1987. (Skyline) |
| Variations: | Surely a Japanese original exists for this game, although I have never seen it.... |
| Recommended Emu: | Genecyst X |
