About Alex Kidd: BMX Trial

As young Alex, your job is to go through an obstacle course and get to the main exit without other competitors trying to push you off your bike. You start out in Blackwood Forest, but depending on which scene you're in, you can travel to Cactus Desert, South Seas, Pyramid River, or Alex's home, Radaxian.

A Japan-only Alex Kidd cartridge that sits right in the middle of the Japanese-release price range.

Alex Kidd BMX Trial was made and published by Sega and released in Japan on 15 November 1987. It came out only in Japan.

Before you buy

Japanese cartridges are a different, smaller shape and do not fit a Western console without an adapter, so a buyer outside Japan needs to plan for that before bidding. The loose price is about the middle of the Japanese-only games, and a complete copy costs much more than a loose one, so decide whether the box matters to you. Check that the manual is there, since it is the part most often missing from a complete copy.
