Alex Kidd was my Mario and Sonic. I only had a Master System 2 growing up, so I ended up getting really good at Alex Kidd in Miracle World (side note, I bought the remaster as soon as it was available to pre-purchase because of this.) We couldn't afford many games, so I only had a handful of other ones, like Submarine Attack. In addition, my grandfather was the one who bought the system for me, when I was only 2 years old (I didn't get to play it until much later) and he passed away before I grew up enough to really remember him, but there's a vivid image I do have of my grandfather bringing out the box to give to me, or more correctly, my mom, when we went to visit him. Master System 2 has a warm place in my heart.
