Fantastic Adventures of Dizzy is a 1993 action-adventure platformer for the NES, developed by the Oliver Twins and published by Codemasters. You guide Dizzy, a cheerful egg-shaped hero, through a large open world to rescue the Yolkfolk â his friends and family â from the evil wizard Zaks, while hunting for 100 hidden stars scattered across every zone.
How to play
Progress comes through exploration and item puzzles. Dizzy can carry several objects at once, and the challenge lies in figuring out which item belongs where â then backtracking to fetch it. Platforming connects the zones, but solving those exchanges is what opens new areas and frees the Yolkfolk.

Tips
- Search every corner â stars are tucked into out-of-the-way spots, and reaching the ending requires finding all 100.
- When an NPC asks for something you don’t have, remember the request. The item is somewhere in the world, and you will come across it on your travels.
- Watch your carrying capacity. Before picking up something new, think about whether you actually need it soon; unnecessary items waste slots you may want later.
