Do you remember the game from this fragment of box art? I was doing some research for an article when I came across this piece of box art and decided it had to be used. Leave your answer in the comments!
Heh, but with the system narrowed down like that and the identifiable top of an R, it was pretty limited selection for guessing. This is one of the rare days I could have got the answer, unfortunately I showed up an hour too late!
I wouldn’t call it the greatest in the history of mankind.
It did, however, rule my childhood, and I think a lot of the games looked better than NES games.
This game is no longer fun when you can simply save this fragment and then use Google image search with the saved fragment and the answer comes up straight away. Perhaps Ruffleberg has an unbelievable talent for this but i suspect Google had a helping hand.

Forgive me, but I have to correct you. It’s Alex KIdd, not Alex THE Kidd.
Apologies, but that one happens all the time and drives me nuts.
