Released for the Commodore 64, Dizzy – The Ultimate Cartoon Adventure is an action-adventure game developed by Oliver Twins and published by Codemasters. It blends action-adventure and platformer elements.

It is part of the Dizzy series; on the C64 you can also try Fantasy World Dizzy, Treasure Island Dizzy and Fantastic Dizzy. The series also appears on other systems with Fantastic Dizzy (NES) and Fantastic Dizzy (Genesis). Oliver Twins also made Professional Ski Simulator, Ghost Hunters and Super Robin Hood for the C64.

  • you have time for a quick session (under an hour, or endless arcade fun)
  • you've played the C64 hits and want something less obvious

Maybe skip it if…

  • you want a game you can finish in one short session
  • you are looking for something to play with friends

What playing Dizzy – The Ultimate Cartoon Adventure is like

Action-adventures blend real-time combat with exploration, puzzles and item collection. You open up a larger world gradually as new tools let you reach places you couldn't before.

Tip for newcomers: Keep a mental (or paper) map of locked doors and unreachable ledges; most action-adventures expect you to come back once you find the right item.
