Fantastic Dizzy - DOS Nostalgia #2

[Rickstilwell1]

I actually have videos on my channel of my no-death run of the US NES version. I should probably re-extract the file from the DVD and re-upload it as one file since I don't have the 10 minute limit anymore

[deadlygroove1]

I'm an American and I have known about Dizzy for a long time mate. Dizzy in the US wasn't popular like Sonic or Mario but Americans knew who Dizzy was if they were hardcore gamers. :)

[StopFear]

I played all of the Dizzy games on my 48k ZX Spectrum in early 90s. They were very addicting and fun. I think it appeared on Basic ZX Spectrum computers not "8-bit" computers, though they must be the same thing. There is also one Dizzy game that came for NES in a fat cartridge. It was called Dizzy Adventure or something. Horoshie u tebya video

[dosnostalgic]

@StopFear Yes, ZX Spectrum, C64 & Amstrad (all of the most popular Dizzy platforms) are all 8-bit home computers. Dizzy the Adventurer came to NES on "Quattro Adventure" cartridge as well as stand alone in an "Aladdin" cartridge. Spasibo! :)

I'm under 20, and English, and I grew up with this. -3-

xD I love this game. Never finished this, though. I was probably too young to play it properly.

[bensimps123]

@emokidmercedes im 19 and me and my sisters would take turns playing this .

[TheAntman2006]

i miss my amiga..

[OnXpert]

I never completed this game, good times though.

[umpisuoli87]

Never heard about this Dizzy..

[carbonseven1st]

man, i like ur videos! it brings me memories and a lot of nostalgic feelings, good 2 no im not the only 1

[dosnostalgic]

@carbonseven1st Thank you for your kind words.

Treasure island Dizzy is my fave, even if it is just for the epic soundtrack (esp -Amiga rendition).

[Ryuuzaki3010]

That crossbow challenge raped me every time I tried it. Spend a few hours to get there then get raped in 3 minutes... and I kept doing that... a while.

[dosnostalgic]

@Ryuuzaki3010 I don't think it's that hard. The mine cart ride is the biggest challenge for me. It's a shame that down the rapids got omitted from 16 bit versions since I actually like it quite a bit.

The archery might be hard if you don't know the button that lets you duck the incoming projectiles.

[runawaychild666]

my fave games from my youth.......

[LittleFoxDude]

I'm an American and I've been a Dizzy fan all my life. -_-

[dosnostalgic]

@LittleFoxDude Consider yourself one of a few lucky ones, sir.

[Softcore118]

I loved Dizzy, Was one of the 1st games i ever played on an Amstrad

[dosnostalgic]

@Softcore118 I started on a ZX Sinclair clone personally...

[chazswaz87]

I had magicland dizzy on an old PC. That was weird but in a good way, i was young and found it really diffecult but also in a good way, kind of stimulating. the whole games basically one big puzzle.

[akaMouse]

Never played this, looks like fun! Thanks for the video showcasing the game!

[Menn019]

Dizzy rocks indeed!

[franktownmarsh]

I'm from the US and I had this for Sega since I was five 15 years ago...didn't know it was big overseas and rare here in the states.

One of my favorite Sega games.

[Janimirs]

oh how i love this game. i started playing when i was 3 years old...

[arcner0Kid]

that after music plays at the beginning ??

[TasogareKitsune]

I am 19 AND American and i do know Dizzy quite well, I played the game a lot back on the Sega Genesis. ;)

[dosnostalgic]

You're just one of the few lucky ones :)

[Nalsii]

Duke Nukem and Test Drive III!

I remember playing a Dizzy game once. Seeing the boxing gloves, I expected him to be a decent hero like Cosmo or Commander Keen, but since he got splat by everything in an instant, I was kind of disappointed. I never actually got back to it and I think I went with Monster Bash instead. Too bad I didn't get my hands on this Dizzy game back then...

[anton1990]

Great review, dude! I love this game, it's huge! So much to do in it.

Dude, I like your accent, are you russian?

[dosnostalgic]

I most certainly am, sir :)

[anton1990]

Awesome! Keep up the great work, dude!

[EliaForce1984ita]

I loved this game series!!

I remember the one when you start in a castle and this one had a bit different graphics was cool.

But Fantastic Dizzy doesn't start from a Stonehenge-like place??

[dosnostalgic]

Magicland Dizzy is the one with the Stonehenge.

Fantasy World Dizzy is the one with the castle.

[retrofraction]

yeah but he keeps bringing it up like it is so much that I bought it for the NES and now I am amazed that such a game made it onto the nes

[kentj1]

Awesome review, can't wait for the next one!

[jamminjago]

Yahtzee called fantasy world dizzy the best game ever.

[dosnostalgic]

Yeah, and he also said later on that it was a joke. :) Fantasy World is a pretty solid game though.
