It has taken me, no word of a lie, 11 years to complete Seymour Goes to Hollywood. Mainly because I was a rather dim child, but never mind that.
The actual game isn't so hard. The whole point is, that you have to find the script for some film that Seymour [Dizzy the Egg's younger fatter brother, it looks like], and since it's locked in an office, and then locked in a safe, you have to explore loads of different sets, doing Dizzy like puzzles to finally get the script.
Easy. But once that's done, you've got to find all 16 of the Oscars.
Now, until recently, I could only find 15. But today I found the last one, and hell it felt good.
Until I watched the ending.
"Congratulations. Seymour can now make his film. Press fire to return to the title screen."
I swear, I will kill the Oliver Twins. They're the ones that started this.

I remember this big glasses kid that answered all the questions about being stuck in games in Commodore Format...
Here's something interesting, the Oliver Twins [creators of Dizzy, therefore Gods] used to work for Firebird.
Firebird being Tonty's games company. :0)

Mean Machines. You don't know the memories you've unleashed. 150 + pages of pure gaming...
Anyone remember when Official Nintendo Magazine had Seal, and wasn't aimed at under 10's?
Anyone remember Charlie Brooker from PC Zone. Genius...

They don't make 'em like they used to do they? Unless they're 3DO of course.

Ikari Warriors on the NES - the same affliction. When you got to the end, there was no way to beat the boss. And you'd just freeze there. After my 20th attempt, I gave up in disgust. I remember Shadowgate and seem to recall it was rated at 9% by Mean Machines when reviewed in those halycon days!
Try Shadowgate on the NES.
INCOMPLETABLE.
It hurt :(
