Episode 201 : The Fantastic Adventures of Dizzy (NES)
Manage episode 429380832 series 2363617
We're doing another patron request, this time we're looking at The Fantastic Adventures of Dizzy (aka Fantastic Dizzy) for the NES! The Dizzy series was pretty big in Europe due to it's popularity on home computers, but in the US we didn't really get into it - but in 1991, Codemasters and Camerica made a big bet on Dizzy for the NES, building a new game that took the "Greatest Hits" of the previous Dizzy titles and bringing it to video game consoles. We're all new to the world of the Yolkfolk, so we're taking a look at this action puzzler now!
Want to jump right to the show (and possibly roll down a hill into a spider)? Start at the 9:00 mark!
