The Story Behind Izzy's Quest for the Olympic Rings
Gold signed an exclusive licensing agreement with the Atlanta Committee for the 1996 Summer Olympics to develop video games tied to the event, including one based on its official mascot Izzy. Some of the staff at Alexandria overlapped with another CPTV subsidiary, Oddworld Inhabitants, who later created the Oddworld series. CPTV announced net losses for the first quarter of its fiscal year 1996 and corporate restructuring that ultimately led to the closure of Alexandria.
Alexandria became wholly owned by CPTV in November 1994. SNES and Sega Genesis versions were reported for April 1995 and a Sega 32X version for June of that year. In July, CPTV announced a "broad market release" of the game for fall 1995.
How Izzy's Quest for the Olympic Rings Plays
Izzy's Quest for the Olympic Rings is a side-scrolling video game in which the player controls Izzy, the mascot of the 1996 Summer Olympics. When the player touches a "morphing star", Izzy changes shape and acquires a new power-up. Izzy can transform into a baseball batter capable of striking enemies, a hang-glider capable of flight, a rocket capable of space travel, a javelin capable of skewering enemies, and a fencer capable of slicing enemies.
The goal of the game is to collect colorful rings and return them to Atlanta to light the Olympic flame. Izzy's Quest for the Olympic Rings is a 1995 platformer video game developed by Alexandria and published by U.S. Gold for the Sega Genesis and the Super Nintendo Entertainment System.
Why Players Still Load It Up
Next Generation rated the Genesis version two stars out of five, finding that with the oversaturation of mascot platformers, the game is "another side-scrolling action game that leaves a bad taste in your mouth." Game Informer gave an overall score of 5.75 out of 10, noting that the game is marketed for younger players, that the gameplay is easy, and that the game does not offer anything new or innovative. Game Informer concluded: "it captures the quality of Sonic the Hedgehog and promises the wholesomeness and entertainment of the Olympic Games themselves."
