Retro Renegades - Episode: In Drunken Idiot World

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