Greetings yolk folk

Hello all my name is Richard and I've been a Dizzy fan since as long as I remember. I was raised in the early 80s which was an amazing time to be a kid and a gamer/computer fan. My first Console was an Intellivision from MAttell and spent many days playing Dungeons and dragons. The days I wasn't playing was taping up the cables or learning to solder.

When the console died for good my dad bought an Amstrad CPC 464 with the Amsoft pack. It didn't take long to build up boxes of cassettes and among them , usually at the top of the pile was Dizzy.

Between that and Jet set Willy I haven't played a platformer with that kind of insane difficulty. The precision required was pin point.

I have a lot of my old tapes in the attic but the only in my room right now is Dizzy. Oddly enough this is a Spectrum tape as I picked it up by accident. Yeah I missed the great big yellow corner :confused: .

I was sad to see the Oliver twins fail in their kickstarter but am hopeful it isn't the last we hear of them. Also I have just seen the Android game so have picked that up. Was nice to see it still under Codemasters wing also. I wonder why Dizzy Returns was'nt supported by them also? Probably a risky move.

Anyway thanks for having me , Im thrilled to be here.

Rich

Welcome to the Community, Richard. :smile:

I don't know why your post got moderated there, so apologies for that.

I can't get my head round the fate of Dizzy Returns, all I know as they jumped in too soon as they didn't reach the point of having some gameplay footage of the game, plus they were asking for £350k in a small time of 28 days.
The failed Kickstarter project has kind of emotionally damaged this place, our site's founder left the Community because of it. :sad: .

Anyways, hope you enjoy exploring this site and checking out the fan games. :smile:

Good to see more victims enter Zaks castle.....

Hi Rich. Enjoy your stay and have an eggcellent time!

Welcome aboard!
