Keep the sprite, couple of new screens and...tada...another Dizzy sequel! I can imagine people liked them (look! it's an egg that can walk and jump, teehee! ).

I avoided them like the plague.

Support Apolyton, buy Civilization III: Complete

Well then you completely missed the point.

Dizzy was always more about the puzzles. In fact it's no stretch to say it was a key forerunner of the later adventure game genre.

I assume the Specturm was a console. I never cared much for consoles. Still don't. I had my C64 and all my friends had NES and then Sega and then SNES. I always had a PC for gaming. So I only have limited knowledge of console-only games.

14 year-old. To that I say sir.

My favorite part of that game was when you had to organize the barometric pressure readings into a presentable format.

That said, no.

Dizzy-The Rise of Religion?

Does this mean Duke guessed the game and its his go? Is this just a light snack of game guessing in the meantime?

I didnt get into Dizzy games much - but they were probably one of the best selling Spectrum(for Dunk a british made 8bit home computer - so not a console, but maybe not as good as a C64 ) series of games.
And darn i was close with Chukie Egg.......it had an egg in it too, you could have told me i was close Dr.Spike

oh here's the link to good ol moby and Dizzy link

I played one on my amiga, but i just didnt get it. I felt i had much better platform games with games like Gods, Turrican etc........but i know that in the Spectrum's hey day they were the diffinitive platform game.
I think far as Spectrum classic games went i prefered the Horrace games and some of those great 'Imagine + Ultimate' games like Attic Atac, sabre wulf etc
I dont know why but Dizzy felt like the poor relation when i played it? maybe i'd come to it too late(would have been around 1995ish)?
