Dizzy: Prince of the Yolkfolk

@andy2359 It's not an ST conversion, the Amiga version has different assets and more colors, so we can't blame the ST for this one. Saying that I actually prefer the ST version, it's one of those odd ones that has more charm. A bit like the ST version of Addams Family. Out of all the versions though, the PC one is best with a great OPL2 theme.

Always enjoy dizzy games but by this point the series was definitely running out of steam. It has some nice puzzles but not as clever as previous titles, it looks nice but given that the Amiga had been around for a good 6 years it really should have been better (coded for ST methinks!). Has a funky soundtrack which helps a lot but the biggest problem is it is far, far too short and can be completed in about 15 mins. I read on web that this was in response to some comments that previous games got tedious with the size, but given that one of those commentators was an Amstrad mag I think they could have happily ignored that opinion! A nice game but its flaws drag it down to average. 5/10

This installment of Dizzy somehow lost everything the series have to offer. Firstly, it is too short and too easy. Secondly, it looks like it was unfinished and rushed with the release - there are many items that have no purpose. Thirdly, it is very difficult to find things which can be be connected with previous Dizzy adventures...

The very first Dizzy game I played. Far too easy and short in comparison with the others but perfect when you're a 7 year old ankle biter like I was at the time. Furthermore, it is one of the most nostalgic Amiga moments for me. 7/10 from me!

Another Dizzy classic with really nice graphics, a great soundtrack and very memorable puzzles. This even includes one of my favourite puzzles in the whole Dizzy series - involves using a fluffle, I won't give away too much.

There doesn't seem to be as many obstacles and bad things in this game that can hurt and kill you (the biggest killer in this game is probably drowning in the water) so this is nice because it means you can focus on the puzzle side of it without worrying about how many lives you have left. Some may not like this, though, so it depends on what you personally enjoy.

My first Dizzy game, a great Dizzy game, with one of the coolest tunes I've heard back in the days!

A pretty good game this one, with good map design, logical(-ish) puzzles and cute graphics. One problem though - it's only 30 screens which means you'll probably complete it within a day. However it is fun while it lasts, but you'll probably never play it again when you've completed it.

Another good and fun Dizzy game in my opinion. Good graphics and a catchy soundtrack too. The main problem with this game I thought is that it's just way too short, and can be completed quite quickly. All in all though a good addition to the 'Dizzy Collection'. Oh and maybe it's just me being thick but I completed the game with my 'Flying Carpet', 'Some Tasty Bread!' and 'A Bottle Of Potion' still in my inventory! Tried to get rid of them but ended up with them at the end of the game!!

Yet again another classic dizzy game. This one seams a lot shorter than the others. It was easier to finish and a lot shorter too. In fact on my second time playing the game it was completed. The hardest part of this game was finding all 30 cherries to finish the game. Still it is another good Dizzy.

There were so many of these games. I think this was the one I completed or at least got right to the end and stopped playing. There are probably better Dizzy's but as I didn't play them all right through I can't really judge them all. The graphics in this were great and it was a rewarding game.

Agree with RuySan - this was just way too short. And probably too easy as well. But still fun.
