This was the most technically-advanced of Dizzy's adventure games in many
ways. It was the only one to feature actual scrolling rather than a flick-screen
system, the only one not to be released for the 8 bit computers the character
originated on, the only one to originate on a console, and the only one to feature
pure arcade sub-games, such as a simple Operation Wolf clone and a runaway mine-cart
section. Gameplay involves walking Dizzy through the levels, picking up objects and
using them to solve simple puzzles. There are plenty of tests of arcade skill along
the way as well, as gaps must be jumped and baddies avoided - you have 3 lives to
negotiate all this with. As well as aiming to rescue the beautiful Daisy, you are
also aiming to collect as many stars as you can - there are at least 100 in each
version. It was also notable for being the last adventure-style Dizzy game ported to
the PC. |
