Codemasters in 1991
Did you know? Codemasters added a demo of Fantastic
Adventures of Dizzy into the cartridge for the game FireHawk? Type
your name as 'Dizzy' on the high score chart to access the demo.

In 1993, the game was also released (in small numbers) for the Aladdin deck enchancer
which added extra capabilities to the NES. The NES museum has a page about the
Aladdin and a page of cart scans (including Fantastic Adventures of Dizzy).
Differences between the two versions:
- Stars. The gold version has 100 stars; the Aladdin version has 250.
- Dizzy walks a lot faster in the Aladdin version, and the inventory system is a bit
simplified - when you pick up an item, it goes as far to the right of your inventory
window as possible.
- There are some small terrain changes, and some items are in different places, as
explained in the walkthrough's object guide.
Fantastic Dizzy was the Sega-Genesis version of Fantastic Adventures of Dizzy and was
released in 1993. Fantastic Dizzy was also released on Mega Drive and the Sega
Master System.
According to a few sources I've found recently, Fantastic Dizzy was also released on
the Game Gear. If you have any information or screenshots then I'd be very glad of
them as I have very little information on the Game Gear release.

Philip Oliver announced recently that, in 1991, a version of
Fantastic Dizzy had been completed, approved and mastered for the Gameboy by
Codemasters! Unfortunately, this never went into production.
