'''''Flicky''''' is a game that first appeared in arcades using Sega's Sega System 1 hardware. The game stars a little blue bird called [[Flicky]]. Flicky would later make cameos in several Sega games and became an intergral part of the Sonic series. The game was designed by [[Youji Ishii]], who was a member of [[Sonic Team]] until August 1999, when he left for [[Artoon]].
 
 
 
Following its release, it was ported to the [[SG-1000|Sega SG-1000]], MSX, NEC PC-8801, Sharp X1, Fujitsu FM-7, [[Sega Mega Drive]], [[DoCoMo iMode]] mobile phones, and was a part of Sega of Japan's [[Sonic Cafe]] mobile service.
 
 
 
Interestingly, the Mega Drive port was only released in cart form in the US and Europe. In Europe it was also included with ''Gunstar Heroes'', ''[[Altered Beast]]'', and ''Alex Kidd In The Enchanted Castle'' in a compilation called ''Classic Collection''. In Japan Flicky was only downloadable through Sega's Mega Modem service. The game was also included as an unlockable game in ''[[Sonic Mega Collection]]'' and ''[[Sonic Mega Collection Plus]]''. In 2009 it was included in the ''[[Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection]]'' for the [[Sony PlayStation 3]] and [[Xbox 360]].
 
 
 
==Gameplay==
 
In the game, the player controls [[Flicky]], a bird who has to save the Chirps (Piopio in Japan) from housecats.
 
 
 
The player has to collect all of the Chirps and guide them through the exit. The player has to avoid the cat, Tiger (Nyannan) and the iguana, Iggy (Choro). Throwing items at them will knock them off the screen temporarily.
 
 
 
Players start with two lives and can gain more lives by acquiring certain scores, however there is a maximum of five lives that can be retained at once.
 
 
 
There are 48 proper levels ("rounds") in the game. Completing these yields a "Congratulations" message, followed by the possibility of playing through the game again at a faster speed. These levels are numbered 49, 50 and so on, and levels which previously did not contain Iggy may contain it. Furthermore, some throwable items are replaced with different ones. Once the game has been completed a second time (passing level 96 = fast version of 48), the game repeats again, but there is no speed increase (i.e. level 97 is identical to level 49), and the game simply carries on in this fashion until the player loses all his/her lives.
