Alf adapts the cult 80s TV show into platform adventure with the hairy alien. The pace stays calm and humor shows through, but the Master System conversion suffers from uneven difficulty and sometimes confusing levels. Honest for nostalgic fans, without notable distinction.

Platformer drawn from the American Alf sitcom by Sega, published by Sega in 1989 in North America. Alf explores the Tanners' house and the suburbs in search of parts for his ship, cartoon enemies, sandwiches to collect and the show's signature off-beat humor.

Collector interest

Alf remains an oddity of the American Master System market, a minority console next to the NES, which makes North American copies like this one scarcer than expected. The 80s sitcom licence draws only a circle of nostalgics, yet that crowd props up the boxed-complete price. Published by Sega itself, the title appeals mainly to completists chasing the full US catalogue.
