Dizzy: Magicland

My favourite of the Dizzy games. Love the tune that plays during the game and I found the puzzles engaging. Not the most complex of games but my favourite personally.

The fourth installment, and my favourite game in the Dizzy series.

I think that I prefer the Commodore 64 version, however, as I felt that the world seemed bigger and more mysterious due to the graphical style on show there.

The Dizzy game with the best balance. A tough but fair challenge, even if navigating the swamp could be a little too pixel perfect. Overall, I would say the difficulty level is exactly the mid-point between Treasure Island and Prince Of The Yolkfolk. The music is uplifting and it looks extremely polished. They nailed it here. 9/10 from me.

A very good game. When you compare it to the previous installments, you basically see only better graphics and steering. The rest is basically the same. Well, maybe the puzzles are a bit tougher and more complexed but for fans of the series this rather works as an advantage.

This was the first Dizzy game I played, and when I look back at it, it's no wonder I was interested in the series as soon as I played this! This is a really fun game with very nice theme music, impressive graphics, and very cool puzzles.

The ingame puzzles and some characters are based on well-known fantasy stories and fairy tales, such as the Frog Prince (or Princess), the Pied Piper of Hamelyn, Sleeping Beauty (or perhaps Snow White), the Sword in the Stone, Alice in Wonderland and the Wizard of Oz.

I recommend this game to anyone who likes platform games and puzzle games, because this really is a nice combination of the two. As for Dizzy fans, this one's a must!

It's a close run thing, but I think Fantastic Dizzy just edges this out as the best game featuring the little egg. Regardless, this is a lot of fun, and is better balanced than most of the games in the series. It's quite big too so it'll take a while to get through but it does feel rewarding when you finish it. Most eggcellent (ahem).

I 've remember, that we played this part with buddies, so there was some sort of competition - who would solve another riddle before others. Brilliant both on C64 and on Amiga

My favourite Dizzy. Good characters, locations and difficulty balance - not as easy as Yolkfolk but not as hard as the near impossible Treasure Island. Eventually managed to finish it.

The first and only Dizzy game that I played (and finished). I really enjoyed it. Later I tried Treasureland Dizzy and was very disappointed. Great game, but a bit frustrating at times. The music drove me nuts after a while.

I liked this one too - but just a little bit less enjoyable than Fantasyland, for some reason. It was probably the introduction of energy bars - I could be wrong with this but I think the energy bar first arrived in this one, which was an excuse to put lots of hazards everywhere. Never actually finished this one, but the dry take on fairy tales was very funny.
