Is it still worth playing?
Released in 1991 on several platforms, including the Mega Drive and Genesis, Master System, Game Gear, NES, Amiga and MS-DOS, this game was called The Fantastic Adventures of Dizzy on the NES. It is hard to place in one genre. It looks like a platform game, but Dizzy is vulnerable to all enemies and cannot eliminate them, and puzzles are completed by bringing an object to a location. Dizzy also has to collect all the stars scattered through the game, 250 in some versions and 100 in others, to reach the final confrontation with Zaks. Some stars are placed inside arcade minigames. Familiar places such as mines and the deep sea return, along with puzzles such as elevators and magic beans. A puzzle quest with a star hunt is still a good thing to play through.
