Alex Kidd: High-Tech World is an adventure-platformer released for the Sega Master System in 1989. Originally a localized version of the Japanese game Anmitsu Hime, this unique entry in the series tasks Alex with finding eight torn pieces of a map scattered around a massive castle so he can visit the new High-Tech World arcade before it closes at 5:00 PM.
How to play
The game is split into two distinct gameplay phases. During the castle adventure segments, you explore rooms, talk to characters, take tests, and solve puzzles to gather the map pieces. In the action segments, such as the ninja forest, you must defeat enemies and navigate platforming challenges. Use the directional pad (mapped to Arrow Keys) to move, Button 1 (Z) to jump, and Button 2 (X) to attack or interact with characters and objects.
Tips
– Keep a close eye on the clock. You have a strict time limit to find the map pieces before 5:00 PM.
– Talk to everyone you can find in the castle, as many characters hold essential clues, items, or map pieces.
– In the action stages, timing is crucial. The enemies can be relentless, so master your projectile attacks to clear the path.
