Treasure Island Dizzy

Copyright : Codemasters | Reviewed by : Patrick Furlong

With the massive and I do mean MASSIVE success of the first adventure Codemasters did the clever thing and released this, the sequel with two names. Some people preferred to call it Dizzy II and others liked the Treasure Island Dizzy thing so rather than just call it one or the other they put both names into the game - honest. It?s not the first time this has been done either, look at Leon (international name) and it?s American Name (The Professional) so on DVD they called it Leon: The Professional.

Anyway, Dizzy is back in another adventure which promised to be better than the original game (some people said it couldn?t be done) and have more jokes than the original too. The story is that Dizzy has once again landed himself in deep trouble, this time with Pirates who have thrown him overboard for trying to steal the treasure. He ends up on a mysterious island that is littered with traps, coins and burried treasure - help Dizzy find his way home while making some extra cash on the way.

Graphics

My favourite of all the Dizzy games sees Dizzy stranded on a desert island and he must get a boat to leave.

Nice MODE1 graphics with nice colour, epecialy on the Dizzy sprite

Sound

A nice title track and in-game music by David Whitaker gives this game lots of good marks.

Also features brilliant digitized voices

Gameplay

Because you only get one life, you will be playing the game again and again (and maybe again) in your quest to get Dizzy off that desert island.

One of the best Dizzy games you could play. Elements of this game were incorporated into the 16-bit and console game Fantastic Dizzy.
