![]() Titles like the Spyro Reignited Trilogy prove that remakes can transform classic titles into brilliant games for a new audience. It’s why we see a lot of remakes popping up all over the shop. Unfortunately, nowadays, the gameplay mechanics and visual aesthetics of a lot of these older titles feel significantly outdated. That’s unsurprising as the technology that allows players to transport to different worlds within seconds in Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, or to experience photorealistic cinematic masterpieces such as The Last of Us Part II, simply didn’t exist. But in my opinion, a lot of these games fail to hold up nowadays. Heck, titles such as Metroid and The Legend of Zelda released that very year. Sure, this was a momentous year for video game history. Day was celebrated, Top Gun became the highest-grossing film of that year, and Argentina beat West Germany 3 – 2 at the World Cup finals. (Doubt it) “The developers of Alex Kidd in Miracle World DX failed to understand how to turn an antiquated classic into a modern masterpiece.”Īlex Kidd in Miracle World released all the way back in 1986. However, having now played it, I realise how lucky I was to have never played the original in the first place. But, when I was given the opportunity to play its remake, Alex Kidd in Miracle World DX, I figured it was a good way of finally getting into the retro gaming sphere. It’s safe to assume then, that I never played the original Alex Kidd in Miracle World. It now means that I can never really refer to myself as a “retro-gamer”. ![]() ![]() So, for the longest time we didn’t have any means of playing them. Unfortunately, my parents didn’t love the idea of me and my siblings playing games all day. Just some of the games that launched that year include Crash Bandicoot, Metal Gear Solid and The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time. I was born in 1998, which was a pretty significant year for video games.
