#0106 Alex Kidd in Miracle World

Gotta say, I've never played the Sega Master System before. It was Sega's Answer to the NES. Technically, it's a superior console on paper. But because of Nintendo's iron grip on everything they own, it left Sega with almost nothing in terms of thirdparty support. And Alex Kidd in Miracle World was their answer to Super Mario Bros.

Gotta say, it's pretty good! The controls aren't bad, there's some fun powerups, the graphics are colorful and fun. It's no Super Mario Bros, but it's a legit good platformer.

Next Up: Leaderboard

And that finishes off 1985! Game of the Year, we got a tie (to make up for the past two subpar GotY) our games of the year are:

Super  Mario Bros. Easily one of the most influential games of all time. Every single platformer that comes after it will be just trying to either imporve SMB, or be SMB. It introduced an entire generation to video games and brought Video Games back into Relevancy and Determined Ninendo as the new King of Video Games.

Tetris, the perfect game. While SMB might have been influential, it hasn't aged very well. Tetris is so perfect that it doesn't need changing you can play Tetris in its original form and it feels exactly like it does today. One of the very few games that I can honestly say is 100% perfect.
