Not the best Alex Kidd game, but it's still a decent and very easy-going side scroller. In fact, the game may be just a little too easy despite the fact that you have to finish it twice to get an actual ending. I just wish Alex didn't scream like he dropped the soap in the prison where they keep all the forgotten mascots whenever he's hit, though. Somebody thought to make an (admittedly adorable) mod that adds Alex's girlfriend Stella back in, but not take that out? Sheesh.
