I have already produced a small batch but for tax and licensing reasons I cannot produce any more.

Thank you for coming back to me and I do understand, it sounds like you have your hands tied. Would you share the box art work so I can get a duplicate box made please?

If you prefer then DM me rather than a public reply. Many thanks,

Do you have a project the size of Alex 3 in mind?

I'm working on Galactic Boogers again, which will be a frustrating and fun game.
I have another more ambitious project that I will present next year and as that will be my own license, the production will be unlimited ^^ ... but I want to finish Galactic Boogers first.

Hello everyone!

I just registered here because of this little gem of a game! I found out about it a while ago and grabbed a copy for my wife - she used to play the originals back in the day and is still quite capable of finishing them!

She's been enjoying quite a lot so I thought I'd see if a physical release was available to gift to her (and as a thanks to the dev) - sadly that is not the case, but oh well...

I wanted to ask one thing though - earlier in the discussion there was talk of saving with a X7 and a start menu hack and whatnot? Can't find any more info about that so if someone could give me a pointer or two on how to save this game I'd be grateful (and I'd also win major points with the wife)!.

My setup: Mega Sg with an X7 on top of it (though I launch the game through the Mega Sg's SD slot/core selection)

Thanks for having me here - and for this awesome game!

PS even our nanny who is a couple of decades younger saw it and remarked how cute and beautiful the gfx are, this must mean something :D

This was my best gaming experience in some time.
Thanks, Yeti!

The game is now available in English, French, Spanish, German and Portuguese.

I've been following this project for a few years now and I've missed the physical release :(

It's nice to see the finished game, congratulations for your work!

I find this interesting, consider that from the Spanish translation the text there are 2 spelling mistakes so replace "salva" instead of "entrega" and "formas!" instead of "forma".

I cant pass stage 1, its a infinite loop to stage 1 again and again. I am using RG351p to play rom. What is the problem?
Thanks.

I’ve heard from a few places that this is a kind of anti-physical-copy protection in this hack.

but is there any form to play in an emulator? 351p uses retroarch core for master system games.

So, what, is the emulation so good that the program thinks it's running from a physical cartridge, is that what is meant :)

kega emulator in pc do the same, loop stage 1 again and again.

Interesting. Mega Sg plays fine though.

It’s the rom in the official web. With ips patch works ok!

Maybe some emulators tries to fix the checksum.
Removing/unchecking this feature will certainly remove the problem.

THIS GAME IS ABSOLUTELY AWESOME !!!!!! Thank you very much!

Just 1 thing: the golden cloud crashes against objects from below just like the original peticopter... that seems to be odd, anyway this game is really AMAZING ! Difficult and AMAZING ! I just found the "secret code" in the last stage (after the last boss)... anyway I am not able to use that... any hint ?

Many thanks to the creator for this great edition of alex kidd. The continuation of the original is very well achieved. Some news on the matter of saving the game. It is impossible for me to spend so much time playing taking care of two little girls XDDD. Thanks again and best regards.

UPDATE: Solved. I have modified the option to use the megadrive START button as PAUSE in the IPS and finally I can save game using the EVERDRIVE.

UPDATE 2: I have deleted the file since we have a problem and it is that the first level is repeated continuously.

New batch?

That's really cool, I'm very impressed by this community here. It's a dream to me, being able to create a good MS game and then put it in a real cartridge and box, wow it's so awesome! Bravo Yeti !

By any chance, is it still possible to purchase a physical version of this gem?

Have a great day all

What is the difference between previous version?

A good English (booklet and game dialogues), a new "old school style" booklet and small bugs fixed.

Hi,

I love this Hack and Alex Kidd in general, and I'm thinking of creating a set of RetroAchievements for it. For those not familiar with RetroAchievements, they're just like Achievements/Trophies, but for retro games played on emulators. See retroachievements[dot]org for more details.

Yeti, would that be OK with you?
Usually RetroAchievements bring an additional fun challenge to a game, and attract more players (they did with my homebrew game).

Cool, I'm guessing on actual hardware this cannot work?

No, it's only for emulators.
Here are the RetroAchievements for the original Alex Kidd, for exemple: retroachievements.org/game/9998

So i can't get in touch with Yeti, so I've made the set of RetroAchievements, hope it's OK.

It's here: retroachievements.org/game/18048

I tried to think of fun and varied challenges, and cover most of the secrets in the game (there are many). If you know secrets that I have missed, especially in the last level, I'm interested ;-)

Tardigrade and Ruenis -> thanks guys for your investment and your work, it's so amazing!

Sorry for entering such a late comment and I absolutely mean no offense towards Yeti Bomar or any of the other brilliant and talented devs who worked on this game but I have a question and a slight nitpick to address?

1. Was, or has there ever been an official statement or reason given as to why any further editing outside the finished hack by anybody else results in the game bugging itself to forever repeating stage 1 over and over? Also patching the patch from this site to the rev1 ROM results in the same problem where the game repeats stage 1 over and over. I had to download it from Yeti's page in order for the game to work properly.

2. By opening up KiddED, I tried once to remove the ''F off head'' word and change it to ''middle finger head'' patched it using correct patcher and correct ROM and still forever looping stage 1? Hacking over somebody else's work is not something I encourage by any means but I only did this for the sake of my children as I had hoped to one day introduce my small children to the series but Alex Kidd 3 Curse In Miracle World is not a children's game because I can't show them the F word.

Congrats to Yeti Bomar and everyone else on making such a beautiful game! Graphics, art, music and more challenging gameplay are welcoming! I know it's been a few years now since it's release, but going back to the development, some things really should have been thought through a lot better like deciding against putting graphic swear words in an 8-bit game that I will have to shelve from my children until they're a lot older. I also don't remember seeing or hearing that the game is not for small children to play unless I missed something?

I can understand wanting to copyright the patch/ROM to avoid pirates making counterfeit reproduction carts but when following patching instructions from this site/page and following all correct procedures to play on an EverDrive or emulator and getting an endless loop in stage 1 is just overboard copyright madness!

Reminds me of that Vanessa Amorosi album she brought out in the early 2000's on a CD where the disc couldn't even be read on a standard CD player because the disc was encoded with so much copyright crap.
