New guy, here to stay....

Hi all, I've been lurking but haven't signed up until now. I've been a-loving the little white oviform dude since I bought the first game on my Commodore 64 in 1988. I've since learned the heritage of Dizzy and it's past, present and future through various sources. I love playing the Dizzy games (C64 versions) very much and have recently produced some quality maps in Excel 2007 with cool little links to places on my hardrive where I have the fantastic Commodore theme tunes located, and object links on the maps and stuff... They're pretty cool if I say so my self. I've only done the first two so far and Fantasy World is up next.

I know the Commodore version were (up to a point) ports of the Spectrum originals, but I like the extra border graphics more than them not being there at all and the SID tunes are amazing, especially the classic Treasure Island Dizzy theme that went on to become the hallmark tune of the series.

Anyway, I'll be lurkibng around to keep you all busy...

So what's the news on the forums? How many regularly active members are there and stuff?

See you around people,
Mataeus

(love the emoticons btw, am I free to take some to use in messenger?) :drool:

Hi, Welcome to the Forums Mataeus :smile:

The forums do get busy sometimes and half the time It's quiet, especially during the Summer, Now with Autumn here, I'm sure a few more Forum regulars are gonna start popping here again.

And help yourself to the smilies if you want them for Messenger use :tongue: I usually do lol.

Thanks for the welcome dude. Having being such an enormous fan for so long, it's great to finally find a place to discuss these fabulous games... Oh, and for anybody that's even remotely interested, my avatar is Voodoo Vince, the main character from the much-overlooked cartoony platform game on the Xbox.

Thanks again for the welcomes, I'm enjoying my time here.... I'm a pretty prolific poster, so I hope that hasn't p'd anyone off... I do try not to spam though.

haha nah i doubt anyone will be annoyed, it'll be good to get some posting action going on! :teethy:

Greetings Mataeus.
I went through a spell of postings and stuff but not anymore due to always being busy.
Have fun on the forums.
Has anybody ever used the Dizzy chat thing at all?!?

Nah, I think we'll get rid of that Flashchat thing seeing none of us has really used it, let alone me being unable to login to it.

Most people usually get in touch with us via Windows Live Messenger.

I've been away for a while, so its a bit late.
