Mystic Forest Dizzy - HQ Retro Platformer

Neil79 · 2 May 2011 at 15:30

It's a beautiful sunny day, and Dizzy and the Yolkfolk are playing in the shallow water at the top of Alto Waterfall.

Suddenly Daisy gets too close to the edge while playing with Pogie the Fluffle, and is swept over! Dizzy dives after her, almost cracking his shell on rocks at the bottom, and is swept up on the shores of Lake Inferior, where a Lifeguard immediately declares the lake off-limits!

Wandering around, Dizzy finds himself in an unfamiliar and eerie forest, with no sign of Daisy, and no obvious way back.

Help Dizzy to make sense of his new surroundings, find Daisy, and get back home to sort that Fluffle out!

Quality stuff. I used to love Dizzy, though I wonder of revisiting it will tarnish the memories I have of the games?

Never did complete any of the Dizzy games back in the day..

I only completed Treasure Island and Kwik Snax dizzy! The rest were just impossible to do. You couldn't save them, and they took forever to do!

loved the dizzy games. I finished a few of them on spectrum. At some point i got something called a Kempston Interface. It plugged into the back and linked to a microdrive, you could press a red button on top and capture the entire game state. This gave 2 things 1) saves whenever u want it and most importantly... 2) microdrive loading times, seriously load a spectrum game once press the button and from then it would only take about 10 seconds to load in future!

Still have oddly fond memories of games taking 20 minutes to load and then to not work!

actually my earliest game memory was from treasure island dizzy i think. I got stuck right at the start a hill to the left and water to the right, couldnt get up the hill and drowned in the water. I had to get my mum to help took her 5 seconds to say 'can you pick up the box?' That was the last time my mum was better than me at games... except for that wii boxing incident... but i don't talk about that

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]This is a remake of the Treasure Island Dizzy,
that was originally released in 1989 by The Oliver Twins.
It was the game that started the whole Dizzy series bringing lots of fun to people for almost 20 years now. Peter Teal started this remake project, also planning to have an enhanced version. For now, this is the classic version, staying as close as possioble to the original.
