v1.0

:egg: Yolkfolk.com

This is Ross' first DizzyAGE game.
My first impression, I think he's done a great job on it.

Dizzy seeks help from Theodore after the evil wizard Zaks kidnaps Daisy once again.

Gave this a quick whirl today. I liked the quirky dialogue. (And the shameless self-promotion!)

 

EDIT: Just finished the game. Found it a little too easy to be honest. But a worthy first effort! :tup:

Hello ladies and gentlemen,

This is just the second Dizzy fan game I finish (I had to check my only post in the forum - 7 years ago :| apparently I finished one more). I am happy and this made me nostalgic. Probably easy, as mentioned, but the difficulty was just right for me, since I lack patience and I started a lot of fan games but quit because, again... I lack patience.

Some items were unused (I think this was supposed to be like this since the game was finished). Anyway I liked it a lot and, like I do in the last years, try other fan games.

Thank you, Ross Mayhew, for a very enjoyable game that brought back childhood memories.

Thanks to Ross Mayhew for the game, it brought back another great remembrance of the dizzy games on the "ZX Spectrum". The graphics and plot accurately convey the atmosphere of dizzy fan games of that time.

I noticed several moments in the game, they can't be called bugs, because they do not spoil the passage of the game, rather they are minor flaws:
- There are two rooms in the game with the same name - "MAIN HALL". Although, perhaps the author intended it that way.
- In the first room "MAIN HALL", the mouse "floats" in the air. For some reason, the author did't pay attention to this.
- There is a diving mask in the game, but Dizzy doesn't use it and dives into the water without it. Although, it is possible that Dizzy trained to breathe according to the yoga system and learned to holdhis breath for a long time. {yolkfolk}:dizzy:  
- Traveling along the bottom of the ocean, Dizzy enters a flooded palace, and what didn’t become clear to me was that there were torches burning in the “SUNSTONE FLOOR” room. Does fire burn underwater? And also, Zaks and Daisy are also in this palace. How do they breathe? Although, probably, anything can happen in Atlantis.

Overall, a good and not complicated game in the classic style, which is nice to play on a free evening. Thanks to the author. {yolkfolk}:thumb:

P.S.

Games of the 80-90s were characterized by such illogical scenes, probably due to the limited amount of RAM of computers of those times, and we did not pay attention to this then, because it was interesting to just play something, especially if the computer was made at home, with our own hands.
