Izzy’s Quest Game
"Izzy’s Quest" is a hidden gem from the SEGA Genesis era that throws you into a vibrant, slightly chaotic adventure starring none other than Izzy, the quirky mascot of the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. Think of it as a colorful platformer with a twist—instead of just running and jumping, you’re tossing boomerangs, bouncing on trampolines, and collecting Olympic-themed power-ups. The game’s got that classic ‘90s charm, with bright, cartoony visuals and a soundtrack that’ll stick in your head (for better or worse).
It’s not the deepest platformer out there, but there’s something undeniably fun about its lighthearted challenge and nostalgic tie-in to the Olympics. If you’ve ever wondered what would happen if Sonic and a Saturday morning cartoon had a sports-themed baby, Izzy’s Quest might just be the answer. A blast from the past for retro fans, and a curious oddity for anyone who loves digging into gaming’s weirder history.
