Whizz

Whizz is an isometric platform game developed by Flair and published by Konami for the PlayStation, originally released on home computers in 1994 before being ported to consoles in 1996 and 1997. The game follows a wizard character navigating timed, isometric levels with a distinctive control scheme that maps movement to the isometric grid rather than standard cardinal directions.

The database catalogues a single PAL variant of Whizz. The release covers the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the Netherlands under the Original release type, with the earliest PAL release date recorded as 7 February 1997. The variant is housed in a Full Jewel PAL case with a single disc in English, and carries no hologram on the case. No loose paperwork or bundled demo discs have been documented. The game’s marketing famously played on the slang usage of its title, though the in-game name refers to the player character’s magical abilities. With only one PAL variant catalogued, Whizz is a clean single-edition entry, and its Konami publishing makes it of interest to collectors tracking that publisher’s full PS1 PAL output.
