Hi there thought I'd write a little intro thread.
Been a dizzy fan since the release of Fantasy World Dizzy which was one of the first games I bought with my own pocket money at age 9, I remember working my way through that talking with my friend who had an Amstrad(I had a ZX Spectum 48k) about what to do, ringing up the hint-line listening intently with my brother and dad around me recording it on tape (must find that tape somewhere, hope I didn't record over it).
Moving on to Treasure Island dizzy I can still remember having it in my hands after buying it from John Menzies sitting in the car on a sunny day reading the story and instructions on the way home.
Then of course Magic Land Dizzy came out and I spent much time looking at the pictures of all the characters, what happened to Pogie and the wizard in that? {yolkfolk}:puzzled: Of course much fun had with Fast Food and the eggcellent Kwik Snax to bad I never got to hear that great opening track until a good few years later when I got a +2.
But all this time I'd never played the original Dizzy as I'd come in a bit late, I'd look round all the games in Menzies hoping to find it, till eventually it was there as fortunately it was re-released unfortunately as one of those disc to blank tape jobs, which were never that great, plus you had to wait for them to make it. I have to admit I wasn't as enamoured by it, what was with all the enemies, the amount of lives, the weapons, where were the Yolk Folk. Still I played it through to the end.
That was all the dizzy I played until the age of emulators in the mid 90s as I moved on to the Atari ST in about 91 but that's another story.
Dizzy Rules! {dizzy}:cool:
