Fantasy World Dizzy

1001 Video Games

Fantasy World Dizzy appears in the book 1001 Video Games You Must Play Before You Die by General Editor Tony Mott.

Development and Sales

According to Andrew Oliver (Retro Gamer #2), the game was developed in only one month. He also mentioned that it was the most successful of all Dizzy games.

NES version

NES version of the game was developed in April 1993 but was not released until April 2017. It is titled Mystery World Dizzy and was available for free. A Kickstarter campaign has also been started to produce the game on a physical NES cartridge.

Title

Interesting fact is that an alternative title "Dizzy 3" was only used in 8-bit versions of this game and it was visible throughout the whole game in the status bar at the top of the screen (check screenshots). 16-bit versions never mentioned that information in any place of the game.
