Description
Dizzy the egg travels exotic islands to collect machine parts and rescue his friends in this Codemasters platformer. Published by Codemasters, released in the United States in 1993. Adventure platformer with Dizzy collecting items, solving puzzles, colourful island levels. US edition.
The American Fantastic Dizzy tells a different story from its European twin: Dizzy the egg, a British micro star, was nearly unknown in the United States, and Codemasters distributed the Game Gear title there in very small numbers. Hence a complete value well above the PAL version, among the highest in the NTSC Game Gear catalogue. The desirability comes from that territorial scarcity, the sharp imbalance between the two markets.
Is Fantastic Dizzy still worth playing in 2026?
A platform adventure from Codemasters, Fantastic Dizzy walks its egg shaped hero across colourful islands to gather the pieces of a machine and save his friends. The game blends open world exploration, item puzzles and platforming, in an accessible, charming point and click spirit. The slightly slippery handling and frequent backtracking can wear thin. For a fan of retro puzzle adventures or someone curious about the Dizzy series, the title keeps an endearing character and a real wealth of content.
