Alex Kidd In Miracle World 2

[ryanretro]

Ian very kindly hooked me up with a copy of his new game and I was delighted to get it in the post today so I decided to get straight into it  .
It's all their from the first game ,  the old enemies , the bike , castles etc and it's really challenging in places  ,  you really got to be on point with your jumps and I found one of the underwater levels particularly tough .
I think I also found a secret level  .

The end boss was great  , luckily I still had some bonus items or I think he would have finished me  ,  but I powered through  , defeated Banshi and saved Aries and finished with a score of 66,000 ,  

Thanks to all in involved in the making of this game ,  was a great effort  ,  It's great to have it in my collection  .

Glad you liked the game

I've never really considered going for a high score on this game or the original.
Respawning enemies on the castle levels and no timer means to get the best score would involve hours of point-farming, which isn't much fun or much of a challenge.

Not had chance to play it through yet but I will in the near future. I had to really think of where to put the game on my shelf but in the end I opted for it to go with the other 4 Alex Kidd games (thats how good it looks!).

The picture filled a nice gap once framed to

Yeah that's right I hadn't even thought on the spawning  ,  my score is incredibly beatable ,  I basically follow the path of least resistance ,  avoiding enemies when possible  ,  I don't even like punching those question boxes in case a ghost gets me  .
I don't like to use continues so until I get used to the game I just focus on passing levels and if I beat my score then great  .
 
I have played through it again and got beat on the final boss  ,  I noticed second time that you can avoid the nasty underwater section with loads of spikes  ,  it's the same in the original game on the final castle if you still got the cane you can avoid it  ,  thought that was cool  .

I will likely give it another blast over the weekend  ,  my new favourite accessory is my modded controller with pause button  ,  great for this game  .
