Can you upload something from Wild West Seymour and Stuntman Seymour?

@Lemmy556 I'll give it a shot mate! =D

I read that this was a Dizzy game at first but the Oliver twins made a big fuss over the real world settings, arguing that Dizzy should always be set in a fantasy world. So the main character was changed.

@andyukmonkey Wow that makes sense! Was that in one of the Spectrum magazines?

[CitroenC407]

@andyukmonkey - That is apparently true, yes. I remember reading that in a Commodore Format interview (I believe, not sure) where they said they had originally planned a "Dizzy in Hollywood" game but felt the more "real world" setting didn't suit what the previous games had been all about (ie, all fantasy world scenarios) so they created Seymour to be the main character in the game instead.

@CitroenC407 Thats makes a lot of sense. So they modified the shape and face but kept the boxing gloves in tact =)

@Otouto72 - Yep, seems that way for sure :) You have to admire their creativity :)

@Otouto72 I read it in an issue of Retro gamer magazine. It's quite an old issue with a big section on Big Red Software.

@lyame6691 Yeah come to think of it, it does lean towards those games, typical Codemasters tune really.

Sounds like a mixture of First Division Manager and Kwik Snax!
