When you think about it, it's a weird premise for a computer game - an egg called Dizzy - but I remember just loving these games!

My brother had a ZX Spectrum and we got the Dizzy games that took about 10 minutes to load! Then when we upgraded to a Commodore 64 I got Bubble Dizzy and Treasure Island Dizzy. They were great, I wish I could remember more about them.

    Dizzy was infuriating. After waiting 20 minutes for it to load on my spectrum, with that horrible screeching noise as it loaded from cassette!! I would spend hours, carefully working my way through the game, only to die. At a time before you could save your game or checkpoints. The only thing you could do was start again!! That Egg used to give me nightmares!!

    My cousin and I used to play The Fantastic Adventures of Dizzy when we were kids. I bought a second-hand Mega Drive and a copy of this game from a second-hand electronics store, so I have it in my own right. Still haven't beaten it!

    Traesure island dizzy & Fantasy world dizzy on the AMSTRAD CPC 464 ...would take half an hour of weird screechy noises to load but was worth it! The graphics only had 3 colours-red, green and black

    I remember letting my sister borrow "The Fantastic Adventures of Dizzy" for NES, and her somehow losing it ... I wish I knew what really happened to it ... only recently have I even got to play the game again, and then only by hunting for hours to find a emulated download in .nes format ... heh.. I still like the game after all these years .. maybe now I'll get a chance to beat the game :) ... Oh, yea.. nothing to do with Dizzy, but .... ... Does Anyone remember Captain N: The GameMaster ? .. it was an old Nintendo Cartoon I remember watching as a kid. It had Princess Lana, Kid Icarus, Simon Belmont, Mother Brain, Eggplant wizard, King Hippo and a few others I can't remember. I can barely find stuff on it on the internet. Does anyone know where I might find some downloads of the show ? And does anyone know if a game was ever made out of it or if the show was made from a game ? .? ??

    I think the Dizzy games were why i love the graphic adventure games such as monkey island and broken sword so much.. They were a sense the first real foray for me in this type of puzzle adventures. I only ever managed to finish Magicland Dizzy. I had an Amstrad CPC 464 at the time, and i felt exhilirated and finishing the game. I couldn't get very far in Dizzy, and Treasure Island Dizzy though. They were hard as hell to play. I even remember there was a dizzy adventure released on the Megadrive one year. Allround, these are timeless classics in my book

    I loved these games as the puzzles had quite a lot of depth to them, I remember completing "prince of the yoke folk" on the amiga and being blown away by how long it took! Great games

    I remember being eternally scared of the cage-traps in Treasure Island Dizzy. That, and the time I got the scuba gear and managed to go in the sea... and then promptly died, and couldn't remember where I got the scuba gear ever again. I still can't.

    Ooh, I had a lot of the Dizzy games (in fact I still have them and a spectrum plus2 to play them on). Ok, so they took ages to load, and you had to look at a screen with multicoloured stripes while it loaded, but they great. My favourite was Fantasy World Dizzy, though I also loved Magicland Dizzy! Almost feel like dusting them off and trying them out once more!

Do you remember these?
