Sorry for not posting yesterday, I had a whole day of nothing, but homework. But now I am going to make up for what happen yesterday by giving you a double review. [IMG]http://i787.photobucket.com/albums/yy154/DirkMagirk__/alex-kidd.jpg[/IMG] This was one of the first games that I played when I was growing up with the Genesis as a kid. I didn't remember too much playing it as a kid. But I do remember seeing my uncle from my mom's side of my family played it all the way to the end of the game. MY experience from playing it is very limited, and what I mean by that is that I started playing it ever since I first got this collection. But what I can tell you is that it is a lot of fun. You play as Alex Kidd, who looks like a young Chuck Norris. He kicks when he jumps and he punches when you walk, stand or crawl. If that's not enough, he punches cars, until they disappear. Wow! He even kicks underground paths and punches airplanes too. You know what, screw it. You are playing as Chuck Norris, as a kid. I think that's what SEGA originally wanted to call it, but Chuck Norris stopped them by giving them three options: 1. If you call it with my title, I will obliterate you right at this second. 2. If you give it another title, but still make it fight and look like me, then I will spare you, but give you a curse that will slowly drag you to your end. 3. Don't make the game. SEGA choose the second option, and laughed, not believing a single word about the curse that was plagued upon SEGA. They should of listened. I can just picture that happening. Anyway, the story of the game is that you are on the planet Aries, and his brother is king. His father is on planet Paperock. Why do they call it Paperock? because everyone on the planet is the master of Paper Rock Scissors! I couldn't have made that up, even if I tried. The only reason for why Alex Kidd is not on Paperock, is only because only those who are skillful at the Rock, Paper Scissors can live and survive on the planet. But Alex doesn't even know if his father is okay. So you are trying to get to your father, which is the whole objective, I think. I don't know. I never seen Alex go to space anyway. You walk from point a, to point b, like any typical side-scrolling game. However, there are places in the game that you can enter in, and get items. The way how you do that is by playing Rock, Paper, Scissors against your opponent. But before you even try to play the game, you have to pay in cash. For any game of Rock, Paper Scissors, you have to pay in either 50, 10, 150, 500 or more. That is just highway robbery right there, just to play Rock, Paper, Scissors. If that's not enough, there's an audience to watch. Who in the world would want to watch two people play Rock, Paper, Scissors like as if it's some sort of extreme sport? If you win, you get your prize. If you lose, you get smashed by an huge, black ton, wearing red shoes, and growing huge googly eyes, walking away slowly, like some toy that is powered by some crank that you have to twist on its back.. Classic cartoon violence right there. The prizes that you receive are things that you can carry and equip. You equip them by pushing start, and choosing the item you want to equip. The items you equip are a ring that shoots out sonic booms when you kick or punch, a broach that can help you read your opponent's mind when you are playing Rock, Paper, Scissors, a helicopter, a motorcycle, a rod that can make you levitate for a brief period of time, and my favorite, the pogo stick. each and every single one of them are useful, and a lot of fun to use. The story is lame, but yet the game is an absolute gem. I highly recommend this game to be in anyone's library. 4.5/5
