Go! Dizzy Go! was originally to be released on the NES for the Aladdin; due to its unexpected failure, the title was then planned for release as a stand-alone title for the Sega Master System and Sega Game Gear. The publisher, Codemasters, was uncomfortable releasing it separately at full price, so included it as part of The Excellent Dizzy Collection. The game is an action-puzzle game where the player must navigate the Dizzy through a series of mazes similar to the Adventures of Lolo games. Quattro Arcade, released for the NES in 1992, includes Go! Dizzy Go!.

"But Scott!" I hear thousands of voices cry out, "What do you mean you didn't like Go! Dizzy Go!???" That's right, someone finally manned up and said it, Go! Dizzy Go! is passable at best
Playing Through My Evercade Collection Part 12: Oliver Twins Collection
Honestly I don't have a lot to say about this one, even Codemasters themselves knew this wouldn't fly as a single release when they put it on the Game Gear and NES and bundled it wholesale with others to fill in space.
As it is, its a rather average arcade maze game, run around, grab fruit, avoid enemies and pick up random powerups. There's a few fun little puzzley bonus rounds where you slide around to pick up fruit but the time limit is so strict, its often quite difficult to actually hit all the fruits for the bonus.
If anything it just doesn't have a lot that makes it all that special, the levels are 'fine' aside from one or two rather mean spirited layouts and the whole thing isn't quite as fast as it should be. Its not horrible by any means but i'll probably forget about its existence quite quickly.

Another great Codemasters NES game. It's a simple puzzle game where you have to eat all of the fruit on the floor without getting killed by the enemies. The music is great as usual.
