The long-lost retrogame character Dizzy is about to make his long-awaited return, if a teaser image released on Tuesday by Codemasters is anything to go by.
Dizzy was a series of 2-D platforming games released for several old-school computer systems, including the Amiga, Commodore 64 and ZX Spectrum in the late 80s and early 90s. Starring a cute little egg named Dizzy, the games tasked players with collecting a variety of different items and figuring out how to use them in order to solve puzzles and get past traps, whether it was extinguishing a fire with a jug of water or feeding a delicious apple to an angry troll.
Dizzy's two most popular titles were Treasure Island Dizzy and Fantasy World Dizzy, but he hasn't been in a game since 1992's Crystal Kingdom Dizzy.
That 19-year wait is why Codemaster's new teaser site and – video, in which a screen playing what looks like a new Dizzy game can be seen, is such a surprise.
It isn't yet clear whether this will be a remake of a classic game or an entirely new entry. But I, for one, am just eggcited for eggnother eggcellent eggventure. Egg.
