As a huge fan of Alex Kidd while I was a kid, I’ve decided to make this animated video. I wanted to try a HD version of this great game.

Please consider this as just a fanart. It’s not a proper video game since I don’t have the skills for coding, just a animation done in photoshop and after effects.

 

I’ve based the video on this speedrun : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZaKPVpEvZQ
I also used a bit of this great cover : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BN8qVmhzzew

And here is some artworks

  Very nice video!

  I used to play this game a lot when I was little on my MasterSystem II. Only difference is that Alex eats a hamburger instead of a riceball

  Please find someone who has coding skills, we need a remake, with these graphics!

  Thanks
  Alex Kidd was eating a hamburger in the US version, and an Onigiri (japanese rice ball) in the original version.
