Retro Renegades - Episode: In Drunken Idiot World

Alex Kidd[a] is a video game character whose popularity peaked during  the late 1980s and who was the protagonist of both a series of video  games released by Sega and their fictional universe, as well as in  numerous spin-offs such as novelizations and comics.  Alex Kidd is the protagonist of several video games, spanning various  platforms, and appeared in the arcade and on the Master System and Mega  Drive/Genesis home consoles. Alex Kidd's popularity was at a peak with  the release of the first game in the series, Alex Kidd in Miracle World  in 1986. However, Sega wished to have a mascot to rival Nintendo's  flagship character Mario, a task which Alex Kidd was not considered up  to. In 1991, Sega introduced Sonic the Hedgehog. After this, Alex Kidd  fell into obscurity as the development of new games in the series had  stopped. Despite that, he has made cameo appearances in other games. A  remake of the first game was released on June 22, 2021, making it the  first main appearance of the character since 1990’s Alex Kidd in Shinobi  World.  Grab a beer, a slice of pizza, and come hang out with us.
