(01/30) Alex Kidd High Tech World

This is from the Master System, which was the only console that had it.

The first part is an adventure game where you walk around Alex's family castle, interacting with people and objects for clues in order to find a map to the new arcade "High Tech World". Later on it becomes a platformer where you try to not get killed by ninjas as you make your way to the arcade before it closes.

The adventure part can be confusing, so drawing a map of the castle or using a walkthrough might be handy as you can easily slip up and get a game over.

The platforming section is really difficult because you have to avoid and attack the ninjas in the forest while the tree branches get in the way of movement.

The game uses an 8-digit password using upper and lower-case letters, the latter of which don't show up very clearly on the small screen. However, the in-game dialogue shows up pretty well.

Try the KepYsOpLRZ password to go straight to the ninja stage.
