![]() ![]() The levels sport a small amount of detail. The itty-bitty Fizzwizzle sprite shows zero expression. My only complaint is that the game looks like minimal effort was put into the Professor's appearance. ![]() That's nowhere near the 230 stages found in the PC download, but for a portable edition at a fraction of the price, you're getting some good puzzle thrills. With 60 puzzles, you should get a few hours of play out of Professor Fizzwizzle, making it a solid value. Just use the look feature to check out the entire board and try to work your way backwards from the exit. The solution always feels just within your grasp, you just may have to replay a stage several times (pressing zero restarts the puzzle) several times to discover the solution. The difficulty is significantly boosted, but not to the point of hopeless frustration. These stages pose little challenge, but once you graduate to the second batch of 20 stages, look out. The first 20 stages are designed to get you familiar with the game mechanics, such as how to run on barrels and use items. I had a pretty good time with Fizzwizzle, actually. The ultimate goal is to somehow get from Fizzwizzle's starting gate to an escape pod of sorts, but this only sends the professor off to another stage for more action-puzzle antics. There are sci-fi toys to help your endeavors, such as freeze rays that make crates slide across sand and electromagnetic pulse guns that temporarily undo the hold of any nearby magnets. As the professor, you must negotiate a series of ledges by manipulating boxes and barrels. Incidentally if anyone wants one of the arcade machines, MyMemory has the Taikee version for £13.99 with free delivery in the UK or £1.Fizzwizzle fans will find fewer stages in the mobile edition, but the core game play is intact. I have the Red5 "Mini Arcade Machine" variation, and I swear I've heard the music in this Pac-Land hack somewhere else - any ideas?Įdit: oh man and "Gold Finder", a Clu Clu Land hack, has the same music used on the title screen of Nice Code's "Crazy Kart" Oww, the sound emulation on the Famiclone ROMs, shown in the latter half of the 2nd video, is ear-splittingly terrible. Chinese bootleggers will seriously rip off anything. Wow, this is the second plug-and-play console I've seen that had a knockoff of the mid-'00s shareware game Professor Fizzwizzle (the Pocket Dream Console was the first). The Mario ripoff at 33 minutes into the video. Oh, and if you don't have a Kmart locally, they ship these from their web site as well. (Eagle-eyed viewers may notice that the promotional image on Lexibook's site is a sprite hack of Chip 'n Dale.) Can't find much in the way of video of it, because there's no TV-out port, but what I've seen looks really intriguing- suffice it to say, there are plenty of 16-bit CubeTac Famicom hacks included. Incidentally, the same Kmart location also sells Lexibook's Cyber Arcade Console. wxn dumps of VT03 games- released by a company outside of China! With a user interface that's in.something vaguely resembling English! And a whole bunch of 32-bit Waixing games that I'd never seen in action before, to go along with it. It's that one infamous SD-card-based Waixing console- the one which was the source of all of those encrypted. ![]() I wasn't quite willing to risk $40 on it, but after seeing this playthrough from YouTube user "SteeScribbles", I'm significantly more curious: I looked it up on Lexibook's site, and even more curiously, it claimed to run its games from an SD card. The games on it looked vaguely interesting, and weren't really anything I'd seen before, and I kind of wondered what they were. So, I recently saw some new 32-bit plug-and-play console from Lexibook at my local Kmart in the Boston area. ![]()
