Dizzy, the somersaulting, puzzle-solving egg has returned in Dizzy: Prince of the Yolk Folk. Unfortunately this is an iOS and Android outing for the 8-bit gaming mascot which means the controls are basically bollocks but it’s authentic enough and looks nice, especially the HD iPad version.
The iPod/Phone version will set you back £1.49 and the iPad version is £2.49 (fifty pence more than the Speccy original cost back in the ’80s which isn’t too bad). Unfortunely it’s a very short game, extended by tedious backtracking and it has, by far, the worst in-game audio of any game we’ve ever played. Well, barring Guitar Hero: Aerosmith. Anyway, avoid it. It’s not very good. Rich
Think you may have your brands mixed up. It was Mastertronic that had £1.99 games back in the day and Codemasters at £2.99. At least as far as my recollections go. Played alot of Dizzy games on my C64.
Put out Magicland Dizzy and then I’ll bite. Would be impossible to ride that shark fin with the controls mind.
I know it was short but I loved it.
And yes, fire up magicland ya bastards!
To test the water it was exactly as it should be – not fault free and plenty o fun.
Bit pricey for its length – but just as fun – even with unlimited lives. Cherry/timer system was a bit weird
