After ten thousand years, the once banished Dark Ninja returns to make another attempt to take over the Miracle World. Someone's definitely got to stop him! Guess who dares to meet the challenge? You! You're Alex Kidd, the prince who knows no fear.
A lovely girl has been kidnapped and her life is at risk! And she's your girlfriend from the planet Shinobi! By holding her hostage, the Dark Ninja plans to realize his fiendish scheme. She must be saved before it's too late!
You need more than courage to be successful. Transform into a fireball and burn up enemies that come at you. Jump up and across towering walls with your amazing wall-climbing skills.

A friend of mine told me about this game. When i heard the name of the game i realize that SEGA had an amazing idea of making a crossover. This game do not let you down.
Amazing sprites, action, fun. The concept art of the game is hilarious. It really is a mix of Alex Kidd games with Shinobi. All combination you could imagine is there, music, levels and enemies.
The controls are very responsive. The only bad thing about the game is that when you get used to playing it, you can make a run and finish it in less than 15 minutes.

Are emulators like RetroCopy breaking the law?
No! The cold hard facts are there are numerous laws in place that make emulators 100% legal - as they should be! In the past a few companies have unsuccessfully threatened and taken other companies that have made emulators to court , trying to bully them out of their way. They have always lost because it is illegal to force a monopoly.
The only gray area in regards to emulators are when people pirate the games to use in emulators.
However in this day and age you can cheaply and easily buy the original games online (EBAY) or at markets and legally use them in emulators.
Not only that but there are also plenty of 100% free software/games (homebrew) available.
Some companies may want you to believe you have to keep buying the same game over and over again to legally play it but this is not true. These companies are laughing all the way to the bank as they slug their loyal fans multiple times for the exact same product.
