I certainly did but that didn't help because I've never EVER played a single Dizzy game. Even back then I recognized them for what they were : factory style platform game publishing. Keep the sprite, couple of new screens and...tada...another Dizzy sequel! I can imagine people liked them (look! it's an egg that can walk and jump, teehee!).

A more modest, realistic, and achievable goal is to encourage the idea that one may be mistaken. Doubt is humbling and constructive; it leads to rational thought in weighing alternatives and fully reexamining options, and it opens unlimited vistas.

Well then you completely missed the point.
Dizzy was always more about the puzzles. In fact it's no stretch to say it was a key forerunner of the later adventure game genre.Comment

I assume the Specturm was a console. I never cared much for consoles. Still don't. I had my C64 and all my friends had NES and then Sega and then SNES. I always had a PC for gaming. So I only have limited knowledge of console-only games.Originally posted by DrSpike

Dizzy-The Rise of Religion?
Does this mean Duke guessed the game and its his go? Is this just a light snack of game guessing in the meantime?
I didnt get into Dizzy games much - but they were probably one of the best selling Spectrum(for Dunk a british made 8bit home computer - so not a console, but maybe not as good as a C64 ) series of games.
And darn i was close with Chukie Egg.......it had an egg in it too, you could have told me i was close Dr.Spike
oh here's the link to good ol moby and Dizzy link

Dizzy and the Spectrum rulezorzed.

I played one on my amiga, but i just didnt get it. I felt i had much better platform games with games like Gods, Turrican etc........but i know that in the Spectrum's hey day they were the diffinitive platform game.
I think far as Spectrum classic games went i prefered the Horrace games and some of those great 'Imagine + Ultimate' games like Attic Atac, sabre wulf etc
I dont know why but Dizzy felt like the poor relation when i played it? maybe i'd come to it too late(would have been around 1995ish)?
