Alex Kidd in Miracle World DX

Challenging updated platformer with great graphics. I had difficulty at first getting used to the control style. Not complaining though. When I first started playing I couldn't get past the first level without having to restart the stage endless times. After 'breaking it in' I was able to advance further. To me, this is great, as you have a limited amount of lives and a CHALLENGE. Which seems to be the problem, in my opinion, with most games today. You continue as many times as you want so you really never fail, leaving out the mastery.
It wasn't until about the 5th level or so that I discovered by hitting random buttons on my controller that you could switch right back to the graphical style of the original game, which I thought was a cool touch. Then back to the modern style so you can see the graphical changes that were made. If you want your old Alex Kidd with modern graphics then definitely pick this up for a nostalgic flashback.
