Fantastic Dizzy - Sega Mega Drive/Genesis game Prototype discovered

Ever since I had an Amstrad CPC 464 and then on to an Amiga, I have always been a massive Dizzy fan, playing pretty much every Dizzy game ever released since 1987 by the famous Oliver Twins with a huge collection gathering in my cupboard. One such Dizzy game I remember so well was Fantastic Dizzy, which appeared on the Amiga, Game Gear, NES, Sega Mega Drive and even via your browser thanks to our good friends the YolkFolk! So why are we mentioning this game you might ask?

Mystery World Dizzy - The Oliver Twins latest NES announcement gets a full review

I’m going to go out on a limb here and assume that if you’re reading Indie Retro News, you’re well aware that 8-bit megastar Dizzy has just turned the big 30, so rather than teach granny to, um... never mind, let’s just have a look at the new game shall we? Well, I say new, but in actual fact Mystery World Dizzy was supposed to have been released on the NES way back when Buffy the Vampire Slayer was just a mediocre teen movie, but instead those shrewd Oliver Twins decided it would be better to hide it in a desk drawer until the future came, and release it to hungry fans once 8-bit was cool again. Probably.

Christmas Chaos Dizzy - Dizzy and his pals feeling very festive!

A very Christmas release today, even though it's not Christmas, as Adam Markey (Adz.M) has released his very latest festive Dizzy game ' Christmas Chaos Dizzy '. A fan based Dizzy release featuring many of the Yolkfolk villagers in the Kingdom of Zakeria. You once again play as Dizzy on another adventure, and with the lands covered in snow you decide to do some exploring. But little does he know that his exploration soon leads to a series of tasks with characters to talk to, puzzles to solve, and nasty things to avoid such as rodents and traps.

Could The Oliver Twins be making a new Dizzy game?

As you well know I and many others are huge fans of the Dizzy series. A famous egg going way back to the 80's, who went on grand adventures, talking to the YolkFolk, solving puzzles and most of the time having a really bad experience with the evil Wizard Zaks. A character designed by the legendary 'Oliver Twins' that has gained such devoted fans, we've seen countless remakes and Dizzy fan games from a multitude of home based developers. Even though we've played all the games such as Dizzy, Treasure Island Dizzy and the others, we were very disappointed to hear of the failure of the Dizzy Kickstarter, which looked like it was to be the most incredible looking Dizzy yet! But all is not lost, as over these past few weeks, it looks as if The Oliver Twins have been hinting of a new Dizzy game!

So it comes as no surprise to us that there are many fans out there who like to imagine him on another quest, but rather through a game is done with artwork. And when it comes to artwork our favourite artist just has to be Pit, who we've featured before has once again pushed his skills to the limit and done more highly detailed cartoon like drawings, that earns it's place on our site.
