Item Description
Of all the sitcom stars who made the jump to 8-bit consoles, few were as unlikely as a furry, wisecracking alien from Melmac. ALF was one of NBC's big hits of the late '80s, and in 1989 Sega brought the Tanner family's houseguest to the Master System in a game developed by Nexa. The goal is a sweet one: ALF is scouring the neighborhood for parts to repair his spaceship so he can reunite with his fellow Melmacians, Skip and Rhonda.
Rather than a straight platformer, ALF plays as a small exploration adventure. You roam freely between the house, the basement, the backyard, a backyard pond and the street outside, collecting the objects you need to move forward. Some turn up as you explore and others are bought in in-game stores, and the solutions run on sitcom logic: a stick of salami fends off bats, and a swimsuit lets ALF dive to the bottom of the pond. Out on the street you dodge secret agents and passing cyclists, a nod to the show's running worry that ALF might be discovered.
The story behind the cartridge is nearly as charming as the license. Programmer Kevin Seghetti built the engine as a side project, the art was drawn in Deluxe Paint, and late in development the game still had no audio, so producer John Sauer brought in Randy Roseberry to create it on a budget of no more than $200. The finished game wears those scrappy origins openly, and that is a big part of its appeal today: ALF is a candid snapshot of how small teams turned a hot TV license into a cartridge in the late '80s.
Steering ALF himself through his suburban home turf, salami in hand, is a treat if the show's theme still plays in your head. On a Master System shelf, it is a quirky licensed oddity and a time capsule from the moment ALF was everywhere.
