The last of the Dizzy games for the home micro computers until 2020's Wonderful Dizzy throwback, and it's an okay attempt. The controls have been perfected, the platforming designed with just enough hair-pulling to keep you trying again, but there are a few clouds hanging over it, notably the absence of original creators the Oliver Twins, and the unfortunate price jump, which undoubtedly hurt long-time fans of the franchise, used to the budget titles.

The puzzles are simple enough, and you can probably beat this in under ten minutes if you've done it before, but all in all it's a bit of a sad note in the life of the Spectrum's other mascot.
