[BIOS] Alex Kidd in Miracle World (USA, Europe) Game

"BIOS Alex Kidd in Miracle World" is a true blast from the past—a charming, quirky platformer that was basically the de facto mascot game for the SEGA Master System back in the day. Imagine a world where you punch through rocks, ride weird motorbike-like creatures, and face off against bizarre enemies, all while playing as Alex Kidd, SEGA’s adorable, big-eared hero before Sonic stole the spotlight. The game’s got that perfect mix of simplicity and challenge, with levels that feel like a mix of Super Mario Bros. and something distinctly SEGA—think rock-paper-scissors boss battles and hidden shops where you buy power-ups with in-game cash.

What makes this one special? It was built into some Master System consoles, meaning a whole generation of gamers grew up with Alex Kidd as their first digital buddy. Sure, it’s a little rough around the edges by today’s standards, but there’s an undeniable magic here—the kind that makes you smile as you leap over spikes or get way too invested in beating that one frustrating level. If you love retro gems with personality, this is a must-play time capsule from SEGA’s early days.
