Game difference

[Meph]

I hear there are two different versions?
one like the 'go dizzy go' and another more like Fast food??? or have i miss read?

Well the C64 version of this game was different to the others.

on the Commodore, the aim of the game was to get Dizzy through a maze collecting all the Fluffles and getting them to safety or something.

Where as the other versions was to save the band The Dizzy Mob from 4 different islands.

Oh, I've not played the c64 version then.

If its so different then why did they give it same title? Sounds alittle weird..maybe an error.

I tried this version out.. while its great to have another Dizzy..its looks horrbale... lol doesn't even look like dizzy.. really weird.

Hey! My first post here. Lapsed Dizzy player, got into it agin cos I got a ZX Spectrum emulator for my DS and have Kwik Snax on it....

I played the Speccy version at a friends, and loved it. Great game (great music too, by the way). Rushed out to get it for my C64, and was treated to a horrific monstrosity in comparison. C64 Kwik Snax is horrible and an insult to the original, in my opinion. Dunno why it was different. Could you actually not buy the "proper" version for the C64 at all? Don't know what the logic of that was, it wasn't surely that difficult to port across.

Most Commodore 64 games were made by different people than who made the Spectrum versions.

So I guess they decided to make an entirely new game?
:v2_dizzy_confused2:

Either that or noone planned to make a Kwik snax port.
But someone was making this game and asked Codemasters for the dizzy liscense. Since there was no Kwik snax game and this game is a mazey type game maybe they slapped that name on the game?

Dizzy does look strange, but the gameplay is excellent on the Commodore I think and the weapons are fun... I loved the 'proper' game too of course, but I played the Commodore one more.

I've always enjoyed the ZX spectrum version with the amazing intro and cut scenes and music by lyndon sharpe but my mate prefers the c64 version and swears blindly that version is better.

I think the c64 is average and he is is just being nostalgic because I still play the Speccy version
And I think it's superb
Which version do you guys think is best?

I think the Commodore 64 game is worth playing once for the ragtime music.
