heh, you did the gfx for these dizzy games right?

i once summised that although the first dizzy game was never released on 16bit platforms, that indeed all the elements of it were re-used in later games, and that from these games the original could be somewhat remade.

i got a little way into it a few years back then got bored

anyways attached a couple of pics of it running.

That looks awesome Interceptor.

Hey that looks exactly like the ECS version. Can you post side-by-side comparisons?

killergorilla · 20 May 2010, 21:54

I thought that. I had a quick look on HOL and it looked identical!

s2325 · 20 May 2010, 22:18

AGA version have bigger frame with more colors and details.

Djay · 20 May 2010, 22:18

hehe, a gfx artist also part of a cracking team... i must say i thought this was the case back in the day... taken a while to confirm it... but then i was just a gamer at the time

loved the dizzy games, mainly the first and third dizzy on c64

killergorilla · 20 May 2010, 22:26

Ah yeah it is a little bigger.

Djay · 20 May 2010, 22:30

nice... any way to get on floppy for my real Amiga?

Virtual CD on your real Amiga ? .. Would that work ?

Amiga1992 · 20 May 2010, 23:34

Oh just a bigger frame

Still interested in the floppy version of this, for archival reasons.
I really liked that game even though I got stuck at some point where I quit.

s2325 · 20 May 2010, 23:48

Also as you can see there is different view through the window

Graham Humphrey · 20 May 2010, 23:58

Wonder if it has parallax scrolling...? The ECS version doesn't and obviously it's tricky to tell from a screenshot

delz · 21 May 2010, 00:11

I coded it - aga had parallax quarter pixel scroll and used the unmodified sega genesis graphics (more colours & full image second parallax playfield).

You can copy the cd32 files onto your harddisk and just run the exe file from the cli , use -nocdda or -nocdaudio to disable the cd audio and re-enable the amiga music. You might need to hex dump the exe to find out what the command line parameters are , I forget , it was 1994 when I wrote it...

Try -help , I may have documented them heh

my floppy version was the exact same exe as on the cd32 version, just supplied a different command line option.

There were some other extras in there , a few special aga only puzzles / cheats / secret puzzles & level. Also a few crazy aga graphic effects that we couldn't do on the sega version.

When I dig out the source code I'll post up exactly what was added along with the cheats and secret puzzles.

seuden · 21 May 2010, 00:25

Extra levels? That would be brilliant delz, do you have any other stuff that may be rare that you wouldn't mind sharing?

What else did you work on?

killergorilla · 21 May 2010, 00:31

Ah excellent, some decent info

Thanks again!

delz · 21 May 2010, 00:39

Lots of codemasters stuff back in the 80s and 90s then onto core design , Shellshock, ninja shadows of darkness, tombraider etc , now @ eurocom working with dan and others from ex-core design.

Lots of hidden stuff in all my games , most of it undiscovered to this day

back then it was just a hobby, nowadays it's hard work, tight deadlines... Still enjoy it though.

seuden · 21 May 2010, 00:45

Wow! Please post a rant when you get the chance, from your humble beginnings in the 80's 'till now. I have no idea why but I love reading about users histories in gaming. Makes me wish I got into it.
