I loved Fantastic Dizzy on the Megadrive. I'm glad to see a new game, but...

iPhone? Get real.

Codemasters will shit all over it like they did with Sensible Soccer.

The Oliver brothers who made the original of this game are two of the nicest, smartest, funniest most brilliant guys in the global games industry, and the story of them making the original and all they did at the time is amazing. I'm getting this for the nostalgia trip for sure, but also because Philip and Andrew are bloody legends and their games deserve to be played.

I just hope this port isn't botched by anybody else involved now who wasn't back then! I'm not sure who developed the iOS version, but if it's the Olivers and their studio Blitz, I have faith!

Wow - I remember the original Dizzy games as a kid. They were really cool.

Who here remembers the older games from the UK such as Manic Miner and Jet Set Willy? And my all-time favourite .. Rick Dangerous. :P

The UK did churn out some amazing games back in the day.

Same here.

As an American, I have zero nostalgia for this egg creature, so I can plainly see without rose-colored specs that his new game looks like shit.

awesome trailer. shame it's a remake of POTY and only for iphone and android.
It's about "realizing their actuality." And judging by the look on Jane's face, she's realized it a couple of times already.
