Playing Through My Evercade Collection Part 12: Oliver Twins Collection

Christ no. This absolutely was a rush job of a NES port because as usual the audio is absolute horseshit and despite being directly ripped from previous games, somehow sounds even more distorted than usual.

Gameplay wise Dizzy's platforming has improved, there's nowhere as much bullshit with the timing and rolling but instead its replaced by having no lives system, one hit kills and absolute horseshit deathtraps littered everywhere. I know I'm using the Evercade and save states are an absolute godsend in this case but I shouldn't have to rely on them because the game tiny length necessitates this sort of nonsense to pad out the playtime.

Also once again we've resorted to dropping/picking up items to rotate through them and I had hoped we were past this nonsense but no.
