Dizzy's Excellent Adventures

MethodGit · 25 January 2005, 02:22

If you guys need it still, I believe it's among this impressive pack of goodies if you wanna bag it for yr'selves.

Interceptor · 25 January 2005, 11:02

it's only panic dizzy that's from the excellent adventures pack.

but thanks for keeping an eye out

MethodGit · 28 January 2005, 00:01

Ooooh! Managed to get some better piccies of the items from the guy like I requested and they may be of good interest.

MethodGit · 29 January 2005, 16:50

This caused me to learn something else new.... Cartoon Collection was originally 2 disks???

MethodGit · 31 January 2005, 16:09

Looks like I may have to bid for it myself in the hope that I can get it sent to you instead?

fiath · 31 January 2005, 17:20

It is pretty expensive for just Panic Dizzy, but if you don't mind doing that, feel free.

MethodGit · 31 January 2005, 20:46

Is it really just Panic Dizzy? *rechecks*

Problem is, Dizzy's Excellent Adventures is never a common appearance on eBay. I did send a reminder through e-mail one time when it did make a rare appearance but alas the e-mail was received too late by then! I should've justed posted it on here instead! Gah.

BTW, I'm not sure if the DEA copy of Panic Dizzy is different in any way (tracks, layout, whatever) to the stand-alone version? Could be something to think about.

fiath · 31 January 2005, 21:53

I am surprised it is not that common, since I knew lots of people that bought it at the time. time... Hmm... difficult. I'd really like for us to get Panic Dizzy... but that auction may go a lot higher... I'll leave it up to you.

AFAIK Panic Dizzy was never released as a stand-a-lone game. Not surprising really, considering...

Interceptor · 31 January 2005, 22:07

i had already told you it was just panic dizzy. if you want to bid and dump for us, then please do, but IMO it's a lot of money just for that one game, which may end up modified or bad.

MethodGit · 08 February 2005, 23:09

ALERT! ALERT! Proper pack up for sale again!

(No, really)

MethodGit · 08 February 2005, 23:11

Oh yeah, and another Dizzy-related query....

*Ker-lick*

Notice that the disk in the picture states "Version 2". What was mentioned on the disk you CAPSed up and added to the database, guys?

fiath · 09 February 2005, 13:18

That is more like the price I'd buy at.

About Dizzy. Not sure, but I know who dumped that one, so I will ask.

MethodGit · 10 February 2005, 01:41

Not the right version, but for mere display purposes.... another interesting Codemasters pack

I just realised it appeared in that big Dizzy pack above! Will have to try and look out for a proper copy of this pack in the future.

MethodGit · 13 February 2005, 15:13

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Fucking sneaky bastard! Had it sniped for a tenner as well.....

Ahem?

MethodGit · 13 February 2005, 15:18

Whew! Here's another chance to get DEA again, but you/I will have to get a couple of other stuff with it...

Any info yet?

fiath · 15 February 2005, 07:16

Nope, no reply yet.

MethodGit · 17 February 2005, 13:19

This might be a better source for DEA than that other one I linked to.

BTW, I must ask kindly - do any of you use eBay? If not, then I might as well bid for it already!

Interceptor · 17 February 2005, 13:31

we've picked up various titles on ebay for reasonable prices, sometimes using buy it now.

speaking for myself, i personally will avoid bidding on dizzy things like this as they are very over valued by fanatics and collectors. right now someone probably has it sniped for £15+.

MethodGit · 20 February 2005, 01:58

Dizzy Panic relisted yet again. Maybe I should buy it off the poor bugger?

MethodGit · 20 February 2005, 02:03

HNNNNNNNGH.

I want to be able to pass this onto you, but I don't want to end up paying unecessary shitloads for it....

MethodGit · 20 February 2005, 22:33

There's an opportunity to get Dizzy Panic for cheaper here, but the description is really bizarre and the picture isn't quite right!

MethodGit · 24 February 2005, 22:15

Now this is an oddity.......... a black disk? Was it the only Codies game to receive such a thing?

fiath · 25 February 2005, 06:32

Probably the colour of the disks were (to a large extent) just luck of the draw. Some games were known by their disk colour, but I have see too many duplicates of games that are otherwise identical, to have different coloured disks.

I asked the seller of that previous auction to clarify it btw,

MethodGit · 01 March 2005, 15:03

Not a Dizzy game as such, but.....

Looks like one of those official "copied in shop" games.
