Fantastic Dizzy (The Fantastic Adventures of Dizzy on NES) is a 1991 video game developed by Codemasters. It is part of the Dizzy series. It was published on several platforms, including Mega Drive/Genesis, Master System, Game Gear, Nintendo Entertainment System,[1] Amiga, and MS-DOS.
The game was planned to be released in time for Christmas in 1990. However, because of a legal action between Codemasters and Nintendo over the Game Genie the title was released in April 1991; as a result, the game missed the Christmas rush it was originally slated for. It sold 125,000 units instead of the expected 500,000.[2] The game was awarded the "NES Adventure Game of the Year 1991" by Game Players Magazine and given the Parents Choice Award.[2] Almost all of puzzles are from the previous games. The game is one of the seven games released for the Aladdin Deck Enhancer.[3]
