My friend Crackers,found out that secret sign is not working on Amiga version.

You looks like you have to find out how to use it :teethy:

Oh boy... Problem is I'm on a Mac and I can't get any Amiga emulators to work.

I would recommend an amiga emulator... but it's for Linux :wink:

anyway check this url... you might have some luck (http://www.zophar.net/macintosh/amiga.html)

Cool!!!

If you can do that with zaks... maybe you can finish the game in less than 1 min, by putting zaks on dizzy start point... :wink:

...And move the puddle and prince's sign, then we can complete it in one minute with a quarter-million score :tongue:

Yeah, great idea Mataeus!!!

Ok, Here's a walk-through for anyone who needs it to do that:

Zacks fire the spell, we jump, let Prince's secret sign on the Puddle, get the score, jump again, zaks die, we get to daisy (we need to bring her to!) and "bang" game is finished.

This is awesome I just played through up until I got the bean and then headed for the prince and it worked!

I've had this game since 1993, played it, at least 50 times and had not find this.

Another thing that I've been wondering; Is it possible to get to the underwater cave (where the octopus lives)... If anyone find a way to get there I would cry.

huuuummmmmm i believe there's no "fair" way of getting to that cave... I mean, if you hack the game, you'll probably get there, but playing it "by the rules" i don't think it's possible!

but this is just my opinion, 12 moths ago i didn't even dream of a certain "prince's secret sign" :smile:

I think I just got the all-time highest score on this game;

357970 grabbing all fruits and berries and of course, this secret sign helped :smile:

Just got an idea while playing this, can anyone tell me gamegenie code for the trampoline, would be awesome to have it and try to get to a few places in the game with it.

Don't forget to try to finish the archery minigame as fast as possible, you get more points for that.

357970

  {yolkfolk}:cheers: Nice score!!! Congratulations! {yolkfolk}:cheers:

That way i believe he can easily reach 358000 points :wink:

I wonder what is the highest possible score {dizzy}:lookup:

I need to practice the archery mini-game and then I'll try it again :smile:

This is not a fake,I tried this on Megadrive version and it worked. I will upload longplay soon,where I include this.

I have to say, this was a fascinating read all the way through (as mentioned in my introduction thread), and had to try it for myself. It was extremely exciting to use the Prince's Secret Sign, and amazing that something like that would be hidden from the fans for so many years!

Then, it always seemed the thing to do to take the cow to market in Dizzy games, not go deep-sea treasure hunting and give cows to princes...

Yes,of course.If you only don't make a speed run(If you do then you won't have time touse prince sign)
You can play crossbow minigame over and over again.
(but it's kind of lame)
Also,did anyone found where you can use prince sign on Amiga?I'm really too busy (and...I can't make faod to work)to look for it.

Unfortunelly i don't know how to make it playing again and full lenght... Have you been able to confirm that any of that was truly a new song? To me it sounded like the underwater music, followed by the puzzle game victory tune, only played with the wrong instruments.

Uh oh, I just tried the steps for Prince's Secret Sign a few times, and it's starting to appear that the secret only works when I play in English. When I gave the coin to the shopkeeper and the cow to the prince in Italian and French modes, nothing happened. Someone should help confirm this, but I just wanted to point out, if you're having trouble getting the secret to work, you may need to switch the language to English first.

Edit: Yep, it also failed in German and Spanish, but it worked in English again. Maybe they didn't want to bother translating the secret messages? In any case, this is important to remember for anyone who wants a high score.

(but it's kind of lame) Oh, you mean spending all your extra lives there by just shooting guards and getting hit until the timer runs out, letting you keep the points from the extra guards you shot? Because otherwise on the Genesis version Dizzy will always go straight into the castle after he's won once before, so it seems as if you can't farm points there forever. And that's the annoying thing, that scoring in the rest of the game is a simple matter of collecting and using everything in a casual fashion, but this one mini-game will have a variable impact on your score depending on your skill in aiming and luck in where the guards appear, and there's nothing you can do about it afterward. As each hit is worth 20 points and each remaining second is worth 10 points, a successful shoot-out could yield as few as 80 points or as many as 1250 (had to use lots of savestate cheating to achieve that).

The extra annoying thing is that the Prince's Secret Sign forces you to put off the use of the crossbow longer so you can spend the coin and give the cow first... :cross:

I can't confirm it.But you may be right-maybe I just screwed something...especialy because It's not in music list.

Just checked it.
Prince sign is,by some reason,avaible only in English...I wonder why.

It has been a while, but something to note is that Prince's Sign does not appear to be in the PC DOS version. Also, I still have yet to get an Amiga emulator running Fantastic Dizzy :sad:

Sorry,but you are wrong.
Item is in PC DOS version.
In polish translation is even translated!
But I can remember someone on dizzy.pl mentioning that she can't find it in DOS version...maybe it was cut from actuall gameplay and is unused in that version?
I was hacking amiga version(just to check Prince sign)as I can remember there was in game,but it was not working.
