Keith Courage in Alpha Zones , released on TurboGrafx-16 in 1989, follows the story of Keith Courage, a member of N.I.C.E. who takes up the fight against the aliens of B.A.D. through seven levels in this side-scrolling action platformer.
As Keith Courage navigates through the various zones, he battles different forms of enemies to collect coins, which can be used in shops to acquire power-ups, equipment, and other helpful items.
When reaching a certain point in each level, Keith Courage gains access to the Nova Suit, an armored suit with a powerful sword that allows him to defeat the end bosses of each level in the Underworld. Defeating these bosses enables Keith Courage to return to the Overworld without armor and complete the next set of challenges.
