How do the beat the Crash Special Edition of this game?

[MJongo]

What do I do with the cursed chest?

[Peter]

Don't know i've never found out, I asked on the old forums about this and know one knew. :v2_dizzy_down:

Anyways i got all 16 coins but never got to the full score of 30,000 that you can apparently get.

[MJongo]

How did you get 16 coins? I got 15, but there is one past the Crash logos that seems unreachable.

I've never played this. :(
I don't suppose somebody can email me the .tap file or .z80 , .sna file please?
Thanks in advance.

[MJongo]

How do you know you can get a score of 30,000? Oh, and I found the coin I was missing. It was the one in the tree past the trap. BTW, the screen select code for the regular Treasure Island Dizzy works here too, so I went beyond the blockades and found some pretty weird stuff.

Thanx MJongo for the email - I now have it on my PDA.
Trouble is, I don't know what the aim of this game is.
If anybody can give me a quick overview of the aim...

Thanks in advance.

[MJongo]

Unfortunately, I don't know either. I get the cursed treasure, but have no idea what to do with it.

Here is the games write-up from the magazine it came with....

Cheers for that!
I don't suppose you've got page 33?!? :D

[MJongo]

Thanks! There must be something you use the chest with to get the last points...

Ok, I may or may not have stumbled on something here...
1. I used the cheat mode, and found that in this version, the misspelling of the "infa red detonator" was corrected to "infra red detonator." Why fix an item you can't even get to or use?
2. Moving on from this, the write-up says you must dispose of it. At first, I tried dumping it in the ocean, but it didn't work. Then I thought of something... maybe you can use the detonator...
3. So I used the cheat mode to pick up the dynamite, detonator, and treasure, and brought it to the mine. I put the dynamite down, then the treasure on top, and stood behind the rock and used the detonator. And the strangest thing happened...
4. The treasure blew up into a... glitched Crash logo, that I couldn't go past. Very strange...
5. So now I'm going to fool around a bit and try to figure this out...

[MJongo]

I fiddled around some more, and found it has nothing to do with the treasure. The dynamite alone is what caused the glitch.

Without the cheat mode the detonator is not accessable so it won't be that. I have tried dropping the treasure everywhere, too no avail.

[MJongo]

Do you think the toothpaste could be used for anything? I know it was a red herring in the regular game, but what about here?

[Mataeus]

Pretty cool that the codies did that, really... I never knew about these 'bonus' games. I knew about Dizzy 3.5 though.

Has anyone ever got higher than 25,000? That seems to be the most that you can get. :dizzy_confused:

[Peter]

Cheers for that!

I have actually ;) Once i've moved i'll get it scanned in and posted

I've had another go and got it to 26,000.
