I forgot about Kwik Snax and Fast Food. I really don't like Pac-man and clones but these 2 games are pretty good (Kwik Snax is better for me). I think these warp/bonus levels are better than main game.

You missed out Bubble Dizzy... It was the first Dizzy game i ever played when i was younger (played it on the C64) so it's the one that has stuck with me the most. Although i do like all the other Dizzy games too

Ok. I voted for Magicland since I think I've played this most over the years

In fact I'm going to have to play through it again tonight.. I don't think I ever did find all the Diamonds...

I found all the coins on Fantasy World and finished that properly, but that was only recently on the Amiga with the help of a Map I downloaded

Steve.

There's already a poll here - so if you voted on seuden's poll you'll probably need to do it again I guess. But it is exactly the same so no problems there.

Shizzle. I did search, obviously not good enough. Sorry. Still, deserved a bump.

I played through all of the Spectrum Dizzy games (except the spinoffs) a while ago, and my favourite is probably Fantasy World Dizzy. The one coin where you have to sort of jump in between those crates (from what I remember) was really unfair, though!

I had two Dizzy games on my Amstrad CPC464...
Treasure Island Dizzy and Dizzy - The Ultimate Cartoon Adventure.

I also played Treasure Island Dizzy...
I can remember that we asked our teacher in biology one question concerning a Dizzy game..
"How can we kill a jellyfish"?

Treasure Island Dizzy, On the spectrum then the Amiga. seems to be harder now that I've just started playing again after 10 or so years.

Was this indeed a Dizzy game or just another game called Kwik Snax? Do anyone even know the game I describe?
Drake hasn't been seen since 2007, but I just wanted to add that the above description sounds extremely like hellishly-addictive Sega arcade game "Flicky". The Megadrive had an almost perfect conversion too; I remember the Mean Machine's review saying it was impossible to put down, and always wondered... thanks to the joys of emulation, I know now they were right! Play "Flicky" you fools, play it until your fingers bleed :P

As for the topic at hand, I voted Treasure Island as it's the only one I really played, but I never really got into many platform games at all to be honest, so even then I think I only got about 10-15 coins in this game? I could see that it was potentially fun, and the music is in my Deliplayer Amiga list because it was kind of funky, wasn't it? But like most of it's kind it just didn't hook me enough to keep me playing to completion, (and Rick Dangerous I found just awful... Impossible Mission on the SMS and arcade Rastan were a few platformers I got truly addicted too) so my interest in any other egg-related activities just wasn't stimulated either. Fast Food came as an original with my Amiga when I bought it second hand though, but I think I only played it maybe twice.
