Out of curiosity, what are your favorite versions of each Dizzy game you've played?

@kamil88, probably Amiga or Spectrum of the original games.
Out of curiosity, what are your favorite versions of each Dizzy game you've played?
[/quote]Hi, of the official Dizzy games Codemasters released for ZX Spectrum, I only had Dizzy 3: Fantasy World Dizzy.
I played the other games in the series on the simulator and also enjoyed Dizzy 8: Wonderful Dizzy. This game has three different endings, which made me want to play through it again.
Dizzy - The Ultimate Cartoon Adventure - SPECTRUM
Not my first game on the Spectrum, but my first Dizzy game.
Treasure Island Dizzy - SPECTRUM
It's very quirky, but a classic.
Fantasy World Dizzy - AMSTRAD & AMIGA
I had a brief stint in hospital when I was 8, and the ward I was in had an Amstrad, and Fantasy World.
That particular version certainly let me escape reality that time.
Magicland Dizzy - COMMODORE 64
My second Dizzy adventure game, the scenic border, the music and the locations really won me over.
Spellbound Dizzy - SPECTRUM 128K
A very memorable game, but also an annoying one.
I could never get very far as a kid, but the diffrences between the game in 48k mode and 128k mode were stunning.
Prince of the Yolkfolk - SPECTRUM & AMIGA
Another classic.
Crystal Kingdom Dizzy - COMMODORE 64 & AMIGA
My third Dizzy adventure game.
It may not be to everyone's liking, but I absolutely loved it.
Fantastic Dizzy - SEGA MEGA DRIVE/GENESIS
Having grown up with a Mega Drive in my teenage years, of course I had to have Dizzy in my collection.
As for honourable mentions, much of the Amiga games and the unofficial 2017 remake of Crystal Kingdom on the Spectrum.
Fast Food - COMMODORE 64 & AMIGA
Couldn't pick one version.
I was introduced to the Commodore 64 version of Fast Food, the 16-bit versions felt more like a sequel.
Kwik Snax - SPECTRUM 128K
One of the best games in the Spectrum library by the late Lyndon Sharp.
You also have a band playing on the title screen.
Dizzy Down The Rapids - COMMODORE 64
The most tolerable and more playable version.
Bubble Dizzy - COMMODORE 64
Very memorable music.
Panic Dizzy - SPECTRUM
Definitely the most tolerable version in comparison.
