Prior to release, NEON Software's Amiga version of Mr Nutz (subtitled Hoppin' Mad) was known as 'Timet: the Flying Squirrel'. How Timet ended up starring an anthropomorphic squirrel taken from a totally different Ocean Software game, Mr Nutz for various consoles, developed by Ocean France, is an intriguing story. I assess both of the immensely fun, lusciously beautiful pixel art platformers, as well as tracing the fascinating history of their origin tails with a bit of help from some of the developers.
This article is also available as a video documentary on my YouTube channel if you'd rather experience it that way. It features some previously unseen, original Timet artwork, which I have artist Antony Christoulakis to thank for.
