■ 알렉스 키드 : 잃어버린 별 (세트 2, 비보호) - Alex Kidd : The Lost Stars
1986년 12월에 아케이드로 개발한 시리즈 두번째 작품으로 알렉스 키드 인 미라클 월드의 속편이라고 하지만, 알렉스 키드 인
미라클 월드가 등장한지 고작 1개월만에 연달아 등장했다.
당시 고성능이었던 16비트 MC68000 CPU를 사용했기에, 1986년에 나온 게임인것을 생각하면 그래픽이 상당히 준수하다.
2년후인 1988년에 세가 마크 3 버전으로 이식되어서 나왔으며 전작인 미라클 월드보다 용량이 크고 그래픽이 더 좋으며 아이템도
더 다양해졌지만, 늦게 나와서인지 전작인 미라클 월드만큼의 인기를 끌지는 못했다.

- TRIVIA -
This game is the debut of Sega's first mascot, Alex Kidd who mostly appeared in various games for the Sega Master System. Alex's only game that was made for the Sega Mega Drive was "Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle" in 1989. Alex Kidd's last game was titled "Alex Kidd in Shinobi World" which was somewhat of a crossover between the Alex Kidd series and Shinobi. In 1991, Alex Kidd was replaced with a 'faster than a speeding bullet'-type character called Sonic The Hedgehog.
Opa-Opa, the main character from "Fantasy Zone", appears as the container for the 'Miracle Ball' in round 2 of this game.
Sony Music Entertainment / Scitron released a limited-edition soundtrack album for this game (Sega Arcade 80's Vol.1 - SCDC-00245) on 19/02/2003.
