I need some help!

I used to have a platform game and I'm pretty sure you're a woman in it and, in short, within the first few seconds if you didn't jump off the floor onto a platform it would go up in flames and you would die.

I used to call it "frizzle" because of that and would always say "deerr derrr derrr derrr FRIZZLE" when playing each level (I was a kiddiewink at the time).

Any ideas what this game was!?!? It's driving me batty not being able to remember!

That, and a game... where I think you're in some kind of wheel... maybe a wagon wheel type thing... and you have to go around avoiding baddies (a bit like Reptron) and yeh. Hum. Just cannot remember the names!


Help people!! Help my flailing old brain!
 
I had an Atari 7800, and an Amiga A600 (hard drive, yo), so I can't help. I can give this thread a cheeky bump, though, you big rubber-key-loving nerd.
 
I'm pretty sure you're a woman in it

Old dude is not a dude if I remember right?

I can picture the game you are talking about OP but unfortunately the name also escapes me.

If you can picture the game, maybe you can describe it better than the OP, too - give us more to go on :p
 
Wait it wasn't Yolanda? Sequel to Hercules?


I am sure I remember this on the Amiga and not the spectrum though.

Fellow spectrum lover 128k +2 but no clue what game that was...

Green Beret anyone ?? or some Gauntlet?
 
Must have a winner there, surely - can't be too many games where you're a woman who has to jump off the floor pretty damn fast before it goes up in flames :). Must have been on speccy first, or maybe the original Hercules was cos, lets face it, Hercules was a long-haired Greek poof so could easily have been mistaken for a woman at speccy resolution.
 
48k Rubber Speccy here :)

She was an awesome computer. Star strike 3d and Schooldaze, ah the memories.
 
Another Spectrum nerd here. All I remember is Manic Miner - Jet Set Willy - Chuck Egg - The Hobbit - Jet Pac, and a few others which I can't name right now.

Can't remember a game that the OP is talking about though. :confused:
 
Old dude is old.

I know I like geeky games, DIY and getting muddy on my motorbike, but I'm afraid I am not a dude! If under 30 is still young well I'm still in that bracket too ;D

Awww man I was muddled with my Amiga!! Totally Yolanda!! It's because some good friends were talking about JetSet Willy and Chuckie Egg which had me all thinking of the Spectrum!

Thank you super amounts!! Incredibly annoying game but many fond memories all the same :D
 
Nothing beats Fury of the Furries

.... Obviously the name of that game means something totally different now. Angry adults in furry erotic cos play... :eek:
