Collect every Amstrad Dizzy game?

Mission Accomplished!

*sniff* I still occasionally glance at my stack of Amstrad tapes in their boxes and wonder why it doesn't look right anymore. And the reason is something is missing and that something is bottom right of your photo there. Ah well, at least he looks happy there with his new family of other Dizzy games. I stil have a few Dizzy games in the tape case drawers.

They are in the wrong order. Can you put them in chronological order and re-take the photo please?

I'm trying to but haven't managed the complete set yet. This is my collection:

I'm missing Daisy and Dylan.

WOW I never knew about these Dizzy Collector cards. However I was never really bowled over by the eggy-ones adventures on the CPC (or Any other format for that matter) they just were not my cup of egg-nog.

Look what I just won

Carnivius · 20:43, 20 July 14

Where did you get that? In a booby trapped cave in a remote jungle, Indiana Jones style? Or the boring way?

Nich gave me the heads up, I would never have seen it as it had such a strange Ebay title

EgoTrip · 21:48, 20 July 14

That means the tape I've got isn't the Dizzy one, cos whats left of the label is red not blue. I thought it was, but I've got no way to test it.

I suspect its the Total Eclipse demo.

What is different about the Amstrad Action Special Edition? Other than the fact that it was free obviously?

EgoTrip · 21:55, 20 July 14

Smaller map, different puzzles (you just have to get the potion ingredients) and loads of in-game ads

Carnivius · 22:18, 20 July 14

Essential for Dizzy completists though as Neil seems to be.

Damn right!

Oh and

Carnivius · 22:38, 20 July 14

What happens when you have everything?

Are you gonna include Seymour games in this too since his series was originally gonna be Dizzy games but they didn't want Dizzy to be in 'real world' types of environments?

Puresox · 22:56, 20 July 14

Oh that was the reason was it . Always wondered what the point of that character?Man the sleepless nights I had.

before or after Seymour?

Neil79 · 23:04, 20 July 14

Depends if I see a good copy of Seymour, never played it personally

CraigsBar · 23:05, 20 July 14

Lol, it's dizzy with shoulders!

Carnivius · 23:14, 20 July 14

Shoulders?

Anyways I always liked the Seymour sprite. Very nicely animated (I used to pixel it out of Amstrad Action articles for practice) and I liked the cowboy hat version in Wild West Seymour. Nice skeletal death sequence too. And he doesn't roll off things when he's jumping. Definitely worth a go if into Dizzy type games.

Start with the minigame on one of the AA covertapes, Seymour Take One http://cpc-power.com/index.php?page=detail&num=1092

Its good but I think the real world setting takes the edge off it that the Dizzy games had. Also the sprite kind of freaks me out especially the death.

It's fun doing a little "Death Cameo" while rolling the camera after saving the lady.
