There's a new Dizzy game that's actually quite old: it was originally
supposed to be released in 1993, for NES.
Never heard of Dizzy? That's OK. It just means you probably didn't grow up
gaming in Europe during the '80s and '90s. It was a big series at the time,
starting in 1987 with Dizzy — The Ultimate Cartoon Adventure.

That first game was released for the ZX Spectrum, Amstrad PC, and Commodore
64 — remember any of those? It was created by Philip and Andrew Oliver —
known as the Oliver Twins — and published by their early collaborator, the
U.K.-based Codemasters.
The Dizzy series follows a smiling, egg-shaped creature who leaps around —
avoiding hazards and solving puzzles — as he tries to keep his people, the
Yolkfolk, safe from an evil wizard called Zaks. Like many popular games from
the era, it takes cues from Nintendo platformers like Mario.
The Oliver Twins (and later, Big Red Software) created a string of Dizzy
games, spin-offs, and compilations between 1987 and 1994. Some of that stuff
never got released at the time, but has trickled out since.
Such is the case with Mystery World Dizzy, a browser-based port of a game
that was originally intended for an NES release in 1993. In its original
form, Mystery World is technically just a spiffed up remake of Fantasy World
Dizzy, the third game in the series and perhaps the best-known of the bunch.
The 2017 port comes from the Oliver Twins, who announced the release on
Twitter.
