"Should Dizzy Return?"

Who hasnt heard of or played Dizzy!!! Those who havent are missing out big time! It was one of the best games around in its time, & its still enjoyable even tho its simple & u r controlling an egg!

I think that Some new Dizzy games should be brought to a new generation & keep the old generation in their memories, it would be great on a gameboy! Wot do u think?

Why not grab a Speccy emulator, a Dizzy snapshot and relive those halcyon days? :)

The Dizzy series were Codemasters titles (2.99)... so, as long as Codemasters have a Nintendo software devlopment license, theres no reason why there cant be Dizzy Advance...

Although, I seem to remember that Codemaster used to create non-Nintendo certified carts for the SNES, so I'm not sure how friendly Codemaster and Nintendo are?

--- Although... from what I remember of the early ninties, the Darling brothers stated at one point that they were going to create a new version of Chiller ... (the oroginal being a Spectrum game published by Mastertronic in the early eighties with 5 screens!) ... Lets hope they change their mind and knock up an updated Dizzy title instead?

trying to find an amiga nowadays is as hard as trying to find victoria beckham and food in the same room. good job i still got mine and all it's lovely games

Except If You Used The Flight Cheat.
My Amiga Broke Down. Where Can I Get Another With A CD Drive ?

Only one life in treasure island dizzy though, if I remember correctly.

Fiendishly hard, that one.

"Dizzy was all about "you get 1 life, now use it wisely", you learned the game bit by bit, but ultimately you had to make it from start to finish in one sitting on one life! Games like that have been squeezed out of the market. If you can finish a game in an hour or so, no-one wants it."

Believe it or not, the Dizzy games did actually have lives! You had three lives, but they were so precious that it really was like walking around with one.

Can't you remember the infamous "Dizzy was fried!" boxes that came up when you died?

I sold my Amiga 2 years ago.....

*Starts to cry*

£50 seemed alot back then.....

*Puts a knife to his wrist*

Oh! How I wish I still had Dizzy.......

i've got an amiga with about 5 of those dizzy games on it

Dizzy Rules!
