Flicky is a platform game developed by Sega and released in arcades in May 1984. It was licensed to Bally Midway for distribution in the United States. In Flicky, the player controls the eponymous blue bird and must gather all the small birds called Chirps in each round and bring them safely to the exit. There are cat and lizard enemies which can disperse the Chirps and kill the player, but Flicky can use items on the playing field to protect herself and the Chirps from danger.
The idea for Flicky came from Sega senior leadership, who wanted to exceed the success of Namco's Mappy (1983). Yoji Ishii and Yoshiki Kawasaki developed Flicky at Sega over one year. Originally, the game simply had the player catch ambiguous dots in a maze. Taking inspiration from a popular song in a Japanese variety show, Kawasaki gave the game an urban theme and bird characters. The game was originally titled "Busty", then "Flippy", before finally settling on "Flicky".
Flicky was first ported to the SG-1000 in Japan, and then later to other Japanese home consoles. In 1991, Flicky was released in North America and Europe on the Sega Genesis. The character has continued to hold cameo appearances in Sega video games, most notably within the Sonic the Hedgehog series.
Gameplay:
Flicky is a platform game in which the player takes control of a flightless blue bird named Flicky. With only the ability to run side-to-side and jump, the player must collect all the small, yellow birds called "Chirps" and take them to the exit to clear each round. According to game artist Yoshiki Kawasaki, Flicky is just a friend to the Chirps although some players may think she is a mother to them. The Chirps follow Flicky in a chain until they are collected at the exit. Bonus points are awarded for bringing multiple Chirps back in a single chain. There are 48 total stages. Each stage takes place on a single wraparound screen that scrolls horizontally with Flicky always in the center. After all the stages are completed, the game loops infinitely on an increased difficulty mode.
Collected Chirps will disperse if their chain comes in contact with an enemy. Some of the chirps wear sunglasses; these chirps behave more unpredictably when dispersed. There are two enemy types in the standard rounds, house cats called Tigers and green iguanas called Iggys. These enemies can be simply avoided but can also be defeated with throwable items available on some levels. These items include telephones, flower pots, cups, and bottles. Flicky can pick up an item by walking into it, and throw it by jumping. Sometimes diamonds may appear, which cannot be thrown but rather provide bonus points.There are also bonus rounds in which Flicky attempts to catch as many falling Chirps as possible in a net.

You can see the player gradually getting better through the length of this video as they learn how to play the game. Eventually learning to hold on to the objects and use them properly against the cats. And finally getting perfect score in the bonus rounds.
Sorry it has taken so long to get a new video up folks. But I will explain it to you in a later video. Still working on other things. Talk to you guys soon & hang tight ! ;)
No worries! We know life happens. Welcome back tho! Looking forward to the video.
You came back YOO-WOO
@@ricardopurnell3923 lol. I was never gone. Just didn't have time. But thank you ! :)
I shok
@@GamingHistorySource YOURE BACK!!!!
It's simple, I see GHS upload a new Let's Compare, I click.
Sigh
Excellent you're back.
Nice to see you're continuing these!
Sonic's entire franchise is just an Flicky's spin-off
The MEGA-CD version's music is a masterpiece.
well unfortunately this is only available in japan though i wish there is american and european one but it's actually in japan instead. so there you have it a japanese sega mega cd though.
I LOVED this game as a kid. Of course since I was a youngster I was never any good at it
The lets compare series is back !
This game is pretty similar to Namco's Mappy.
Sega’s president at that time wanted a game more superior than Mappy and this was the result.
Fujitsu FM-7 port makes perfect sense,
Flicky the flickering bird😅
yep it got a japanese computer too besides well some japanese home consoles ish.
Wow. Welcome Back!
Let’s goooooooo! You are back!
Flicky chirp tiger and iggy also appeared in Sonic X the animated series
welcome back!!
Oh hey, your back! Excellent!
I love this game! I remember i firs played this back when i was 14 when i gotten this on Christmas back in 2010 on Xbox 360 (Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection) Fun Fact, There's a doujin game called A.I.R Flight (Very hard to find too last time i checked) and aesthetically with visuals its different but on a design standpoint its the same game!
The legend is back😁
So Excited
FINALLY HE BACK
HE'S BACK!!!!!!!!!
Hey Thanks for the Shoutout Gaming History Source and I think you should compare Yakyuu-Kyou
You’re back??! Woah
Welcome back
The legend returns!
THE KING HAS RETURNED!
Literally had a heart attack when I saw the 1 hour ago
Praying for a speedy recovery
i should not have said literally
You're back!!!!!!! Yes!!!!!! Welcome back!!!!
Welcome back my friend.
Fujitsu gives justice to the title 🤣
Thank You ! Another video should be available on May 8th. :)
@@mastersproutgamer9327 It's one of those.. But I'll never tell. ;)
It's strange that the Master System or Mark III didn't even get Flicky at all despite being a SEGA game.
Here's hoping the homebrew community make a homebrew port of it.
The Mark III/Japanese Master System is backwards compatible with the SG-1000, so that's probably why.
Flicky happened before Sonic was born in '91
correct.
yay you’re back :D
Welcome back GHS
Thankyou. I'm hoping to get new content out at least 2 times a month. It's gonna be hard. but I think I can manage it.
I save all kinds, of flickys green ones pink ones and more!
The fm7 one should be called flickery.
Also the Sharp Mz-2000/2200/2500 version of flicks does exist but the bid has ended
The mention of MZ in the extra information section was in reference to them. Couldn't locate the roms.
@@GamingHistorySource well it was on yahoo Japan but it ended like last time
Very funny game to play. Later they used Flicky as a regullar character in Sonic. Why for the Fujitsu-FM version 3:00 is the screen blinking? It's tiring for eyes.
I love THIS game

@@GamingHistorySource YOOOOOOO THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH! I'VE BEEN LOOKING EVERYWHERE FOR THIS!
@@eeveelover64 no problem ! Glad I could help ! :)

That can't be the normal speed for the FM-7 port. That looks unplayable, especially the bonus stage.
Why is the Genesis version in PAL pitch? Games shouldn't be like that? Normally a PAL Genesis game is slow and never pitches the sound up.
生きてたのか…
How to download this game for pc ❓
bababooey
Station square
Did not know there was Sega consoles made before the Sega master system, they look horrible.
That Fujitsu FM-7 version really looks like crap.
At least it make more sense!
