TREASURE ISLAND DIZZY

PROLOGUE:

Dizzy was looking forward to the round-the-world cruise. When he told the other yolkfolk about the good deal he found, they wondered just what lay ahead of him...

Dizzy enjoyed the cruise at first. The captain, Long John Silver, was a lovely old bloke with a kindly manner, good at insulting and degrading the fare-paying punters. He was well balanced - he had parrot on one shoulder and a chip on the other.

Dizzy thought he would organize a game of cricket on the aft deck. In a fit of blinding stupidity he used LJ's spare leg collection as makeshift stumps, and when they were lost overboard he was made to walk the plank! That was how he came to find himself gently poaching on the silent, sun-kissed beach of a seemingly deserted island... He had to somehow find a way back to the yolkfolk and lodge his compensation claim with the travel agent...

CONTROLS:

ACTION KEYBOARD
Walk Left Z
Walk Right X
Jump Left Shift/Left Ctrl
Pick Up/Drop/Read ENTER/RETURN
Pause P (NOTE: pressing ANY other key whilst paused will unpause the game)
Music/Fx M
Quit Q (Returns to title screen)

HINTS:

Be careful in the water - everyone knows that eggs are air breathers!
Dont wind up fried.....be careful of fire!
The wildlife is dangerous, dizzy looks good enough to eat...
The old chest makes a good step in the right place...

The are two ways to complete the game:
SOLUTION 1 - Tricky, find a way off the island and back to the yolkfolk
SOLUTION 2 - Very tricky, there are THIRTY pieces of gold hidden on the island, find these before making your escape... some of them are VERY well hidden!

Good luck!

I had this for the Commodore 64 about 20 years ago.
I was really good at the game. However right at the end there's a jump onto a boat that I kept missing.
You miss - all the way back to the start.

So I recently downloaded the version from the link above and, armed with save states, finally completed that fúcking bastard. The trick is to wait until the boat goes out and comes back in again. Some NPC tells you to jump on the boat "quickly" which is completely wrong! It's impossible to make the jump until the boat is on its way back. Just so you know! So completing the game only took me 20 years!

Never, ever, playing a Dizzy game again.

Class!
I loved Dizzy all those years ago with it`s many episodes.
Codemasters were the cream of the crop back then before EA even came on the scene but they were more for consoles as codemasters phased out with the pc games console evolution.
I have great fun teaching my daughter all my old games,this is another one to add,thanks .

Pretty sure that Monkey Island the Monkey Island games aren't abandonware, i.e. they're an illegal download from that site. I presume that's against forum rules.

Ah memories of childhood Sitting at my Amstrad 464 typing "Run, putting in the tape and pressing any key. Queue half an hour of epileptic output from the monitor and then a tape read error.
Those were easier times.... wait no they weren't! :mad:

Technically no but most emulators come with save states which will save your game at any point.

I know I could get Frodo or VICE, but does anyone have a downloadable version of Creatures/Creatures 2?
