Before Sega had Sonic the Hedgehog, it had Alex Kidd, the high-flying protagonist of several ’80s platformers on the Master System and Genesis consoles. While Alex has long been regarded as a relic of gaming’s 8-bt and 16-bit era, forgotten after the blue hedgehog took over as Sega‘s mascot in 1991, Merge Games and Jankenteam are planning the little hero’s big comeback.
During the first day of IGN Expo in June, the studios announced Alex Kidd in Miracle World Dx, a remake of the classic 1986 platformer for the Sega Master System. It’s fitting that Alex Kidd’s very first adventure over 30 years ago will also be his bridge to modern consoles. Alex Kidd in the Miracle World Dx will adapt all of the original’s games levels with a new, colorful art style that’s sort of a fusion between modern graphics and the sprites the ’80s and ’90s were known for.

Sega RPG series Phantasy Star celebrates its 30th anniversary - and a new video explores its rich history...
Back in the late 80s, Nintendo Entertainment System owners got some great console RPGs, spearheaded by the out-and-out classics Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy. But as the genre exploded in popularity, Sega answered with a sprawling adventure for its own systems, beginning with the Sega Mark III (or Master System in the west): Phantasy Star.
