Retro classic game, Dizzy: Prince of the Yolkfolk, gets a facelift, coming to Android in December

Back in the early '90s there was a game released called Dizzy: Prince of the Yolkfolk for the home computers that existed back then such as the Commodore 64 and other older PCs. This old school game is getting a facelift and coming into the modern age thanks to developers Codemasters.

The Dizzy series actually debuted back in the late '80s and was around until the early '90s for home computers so there are a lot of people who have probably never even heard of this game. Dizzy: Prince of the Yolkfolk is an action platformer where your goal is to rescue and awaken Daisy which will also somehow bring peace to all your friends who are the Yolkfolk. If you haven't noticed by now with the title, the main character is an egg.

Codemasters has taken the original game and remastered it with all new HD graphics while keeping the rest of the game, including the level designs as close to the original as possible. If you're a fan of the really old school games like this, then you'll be happy to know you won't have to wait long before it lands on Android. It's slated for release December 9th, 2011. No word on pricing yet though so until then, enjoy the trailer below.
