not at the point i think you're currently at. ;)
I'm getting really frustrated as I've been everwhere I can get to and still can't get anywhere. I've tried the dark place with the lightsabre but keep getting killed.
And I have Bottle of Cold Milk, Baby's Bottle, A Ghost Trap, Rusty Metal Grill, A Shiny Talisman, A Woodcutters Axe (whitch I've used twice) and A Empty Bucket and am at aloss as to what to do next :v2_dizzy_confused2:
I've been looking forward to this game for ages and you haven't disapointed!:v2_dizzy_clapping:
kinda stuck now though
how do you empty the trap?
lol ghostbusters!! :v2_dizzy_clapping:^
cats like milk. ;)
I ain't found no cat yet :v2_dizzy_happy:
not <i>literally</i> you haven't...
not <i>literally</i> you haven't...
That was very crafty :v2_dizzy_clapping: I finally figured it out.
Just the rest of the game to figure out :D

Hello! I am new here and I have just been playing your rail road dizzy game which I think is excellent! I'm just wondering if anybody can help me? I've sorted the ghost trap out and I'm stuck on what to do with the big stick, the talisman and the bucket of water. Any clues?:v2_dizzy_confused2:

i think everyone is stuck at that point.... :p just be thankful the next puzzle you need to solve is one of the hardest puzzles in the game!
oh and a warm welcome to sarah01! :v2_dizzy_clapping:
I've put the ghost trap where it is surposed to go but it hasn't done anything and suggestions with be very greatful.
If the next part is difficult I ain't gonna get anywhere this part is difficult enough for me :v2_dizzy_confused2:

think of ghostbusters! they used something else, as well as the trap.
I still can't think how to empty the trap once it's caught

Thanks Colin, just gotta find the other thing to get the ghost, I tried the Lightsabre but to no avail.

is it still full?
lol the ghostbusters bit was awesome... I'm still looking for that last bit of coal.
once you know were the rats are they ain't a problem.. its when they walk on screen just as your about the walk off.. lol but if you know where they are to learn to just wait a bit. kinda crafty really.
according to dizzy he just needs to get across the Cliff so all i need to get sort the wizard out so he can fix the track and get that last coal.. and game won.. (Yeah right) ;)
i have found a secret door :v2_dizzy_tongue2:
ummm
ahhh i guess i'll have to give you bit of a hint. highlight the following text for a clue:
the conker tree isn't just for show.
is it still full?
The Ghostcatcher is empty cause I can't seen to catch the ghost.
I haven't come across the thing in the you have hinted at :v2_dizzy_confused2:
oh i seeeee! you haven't yet got the second item for the ghost :p
well keep at it! and no you don't need the bit i hinted at yet. :p

I have found the crowbar and used it but now even more baffled!:v2_dizzy_confused2:
got the train to move, and flicked the switch.. wooo
doesn't appear anything was in the trucks heap.. so I'm at another stopping point.
:v2_dizzy_yahoo: YEAH I have finally figured out how to get the ghost in the Ghostcatcher, all I need to do now is find out how to empty it so I can catch the other one :v2_dizzy_confused2:

define 'another stopping point'. are you stuck again?
kinda.. but i haven't had much time to try everything.
i
finding that last piece of coal was just luck...lol
I've been pretty pleased with myself so far, getting this far with no clues...
doesn't appear to be any new parts for me to access so the solution to whatever my current problem is..which I'm not sure what that is.. shouldn't be far away.. lol

For Dora, think of a parallel with other Dizzy game :)
Ok I have been playing this game all day and trying to find how and where I empty the Ghost Chatcher but to no avail I cannot do it :cry:
Any help or clue would be very greatful :say_yes:
^ didn't you say a few pages back
"I've put the ghost trap where it is supposed to go"
so i assume you've been there.
i mean Ghostbusters.. read the screen headers that may help.

I have put it in the place it needs to go and I've got the ghost I just can't seem to find the place you empty the Ghost Catcher, so I can get rid of the other ghost.

concentrate on other things first. the answer to that puzzle will present itself in due course. :p
I've been playing rail road for just over 3 hours it says.. and i have about 9 gems i think... lol haven't got any further today,
and i lost a life thanks to the pogy thing who bit me i a total of 5 times i think .. lol and now his vanished..

Well I've been at the end of my railroad for a while... have read and re-read the posts here and it seems my biggest problem at the mo is locating that last piece of coal :dizzy_confused:
The coal/gems hidden in what I think are the most hardest places so far were under the (SPOILER) strange spikes and the engine shed roof tile. Are there any more hidden in a similar sneaky way that I should be able to get to at this point?
I've got no idea what to do with the Talisman, the Whistle, the Baby Bottle, the Bucket of Water or the Truck Brakes (though I'm guessing they will be of fairly obvious use once I am able to move on). I've used the spade twice, in obvious ways that haven't really helped. Same with the pickax (although the first use was necessary of course). Do they still have life in them :dizzy_confused:
I don't really know what I should be aiming to do next though - the only self-evident puzzles I'm up against are Theo's wand, the Miner's book, that little locked door just inside the tunnel, and of course trying to figure out a way to traverse the watery passages without eggspiring (sorry).
This level of frustration is taking me back to the days of Treasure Island! :v2_dizzy_clapping:
i don't think you can do anything until you've found that last bit of coal..
the strange spikes was one of the first i found.. but never found anything on the roof
all the coal is hidden.. well most of it..
there was two in particular i thought was pretty sneaky.. much more difficult then the one you mentioned.
you will come to a point where you need all the coal to progress.
i actually think just half the coal is hidden. however most of the hidden ones i would say are in fairly obvious places, altho there are a few devious ones, as always! :p
oh and meph, both of the locations you mentioned are actually hidden gems.
lol oh right.. i was just posting what that other chat had posted.. i couldn't remember if they were coal or gems..
the one behind an X under the bridge i thought was one of the hardest. there was that another i struggled to find but the other was a pretty obviously place to check in the end but that other one was a bugger..lol
unfortunately i gotta start a new work contract tomorrow so i dizzy will have to wait till the weekends. ..dam early light tonight.

Okey dokey, I have the ghost in the trap, a bucket of water, a talisman, a whistle, a babys bottle, light sabre. I also have put the rail in place. Now I am stuck.:dizzy_mad:
Please ... any hints welcome
Claire:dizzy_confused:
do you not have the hard hat?
Ok I am seriously thinking of quiting this game cause I just ain't getting anywhere :cry: and I really don't like to quit things.
I have tried to empty the Ghost Chatcher and have looked everywhere I can think for the last 3 coals I need but I don't seem to be getting anywhere.
Any help anywhere would really do my head good :v2_dizzy_happy:
have you been able to get past the dark side yet?
what items do you have?
No I have yet to go to the Dark Side.
I have: Bucket of Water, Woodcutters Axe, Hard Hat, Lightsabre, Shrill Whistle, Shiny Taslisman, Baby Bottle, Detonator, Proton and A Full Ghostcatcher.

i've just had a thought, have you found Dylan yet? i found when playing it that the timer slightly obscures the entrance to his lair...
you may want to turn it off for a while. (it will still count the time)
I did what you suggested and turned the timer off and then went to see Dylan, but there was nothing new there that I could see or pick up :v2_dizzy_confused2:
check your private messages ;)
Thanks for the hint, it worked.
little update without giving anything away..
first I've got 24 gems dunno if thats good or not.. but hey..lol
done wizard, miner Dora, grand dizzy, and so on.
don't want to say to much.. I'm not really stuck I've had enough today.. i just got Dora's Item so i don't really know what I'm doing now anyway so I'll have to have think before i wonder round again.
oh and getting into the other aria was pretty darft..lol
better not say anymore.
oh and like themine ride :v2_dizzy_clapping:
wow you're doing really well with it to get that far! well done! :tup:
:v2_dizzy_tongue2:
and with only one clue/hint which i shouldn't have needed.. oh well.
ClientFan
12-02-08, 08:33 PM
the one behind an ... under ... i thought was one of the hardest.
You thought that was one of the hardest pieces of coal? That's the kind of ones I always find straight away... so if that's the case either the last one is staring me in the face, or else I'm going about things COMPLETELY the wrong way! :hitwall: :hitwall: :hitwall:
have you checked all the tracks?
ClientFan
12-02-08, 09:44 PM
diagonal definitely, horizontal more or less...
i think i only found two on the tracks so you probably have that one.
what about the trees?
ClientFan
13-02-08, 03:15 PM
Well I've tried jumping in and 'actioning' the trees from every conceivable position and have found nothing. :hitwall::hitwall:
Is it some sort of 'puzzle' that involves the use of objects?
How many now have actually found the 20 pieces of coal :dizzy_confused: ie got further than me :dizzy_mad:
me...well ahead
well i found a coal bit in one of the trees.
I found them all and got the train to the other side of the bridge. not got much farther than that in the game

13-02-08, 06:16 PM
I've got to the other side of the bridge, returned the wand....... not sure where to go next....:dizzy_confused:
Like Annie, I'm stuck on finding the second item to make the ghost trap work. I have: ghost trap (of course!), lightsabre, talisman, spanner, whistle, grille, oil, baby's bottle, wood axe, bucket of water, truck brakes, strange spikes (plus discarded roof tile and cross support). A big obvious clue from anyone would help thanks!
I've just found out how many gems needed :O i have 25 so fair amount to do.
And i also found out what happened to poor young Danny :O :O
seemed to be a lot of work for very little unless i missed something..lol
I'm just trying to catch that dam fluffy thing.. I've found out the first half but i probably need a cage and i can't find one i can pick up yet... its the only puzzle i have at the moment.
dharr999 theres only one way you can go..
Kitty its not far from the ghost
Ok have got far since yesterday, am a little confussed about the crowbar, I've tried it handle on the trap door and all I get is "There is no truck here to empty" What that ment to mean :v2_dizzy_confused2:

wow you've really been busy!! regarding the object you've used on pogie. have you tried leaving it somewhere? ;)
it appears i just need to find all those gems :cry:
oh there were a new nasty placed rats.. alittle tricky to get past without getting hit..
i think the timer is up to 5 hours.. so far.. 6 if i include the first time i played the game and got killed by a rats..

i think you're missing a use for an item, either in the mines or the caves.
probably the caves at a guess.
if you've used the duster, you need to look in the caves, and if you haven't used the duster, you need to look in the mines
:p
:v2_dizzy_confused3:
umm i best have a look...

13-02-08, 10:03 PM

All the routes down seem to be blocked. I've attempted using the wooden Axe and Pickaxe to open the route's up.

Woohooo! I go from not being able to find that last piece of coal, to now having done everything other than sort out Daisy's birthday present.
I was a bit shocked about how many gems are needed too - I'm up to 29 now. Having 'actioned' and lept on everything, I can accept I might have missed an odd 'one' lying around somewhere - but I'm wondering whether there is a secret room or something that contains the rest to make it up to the nice round figure required. And yes I have found the large group of ones hidden in the same way - nice touch there again :v2_dizzy_wink2: and so logical I discovered it by 'accident'.
My only unused objects now are the Megaphone, Lamp and Duster (I'm guessing those last two might have something to do with each other...???)
Jamie, this game is ingeniously designed - I can't get my head around how you must plan it all. Do you have a gigantic piece of paper on the floor or something, sketching it all out :dizzy_confused:
I'm also loving that you can exterminate baddies. Oh and that secret passage was seriously creepy! I first did it without the torch. Managed to do it without losing any energy, although my eyes took a serious straining! :v2_dizzy_tongue2:
And i also found out what happened to poor young Danny :O :O
Eh? I never found Danny :v2_dizzy_confused2: , but I did unlock the door and have 37 gems so far.
I'm kinda ahead for now because I was one of the people who beta tested this game. X)
Hi can anyone help me find my last piece of coal? (I tried the trees and track, as in previous posts.)

haha you're not ahead actually. i think Meph has almost finished it... certainly he's ahead of you, from what you've said... ;)
i'm curious what scores people are on tho....
Jamie, this game is ingeniously designed - I can't get my head around how you must plan it all. Do you have a gigantic piece of paper on the floor or something, sketching it all out :dizzy_confused:
no i don't use paper at all. i draw the map out in the DizzyAGE editor from a rough idea in my head, adding bits as i think of them, and making notes of ideas i get regarding puzzles etc. then once i've got the map mostly complete, and all the characters in there, i'll work out what order all the puzzles have to be done in, so that nothing clashes, and so that the game 'flows' fairly well. and also work out what the rest of the items are going to be.
i also change items and things later on. for example Dora was originally going to get the Duster, but i thought that may be a bit chauvanistic, and also it would have allowed access to the item Dora gives you a lot earlier than i wanted it to be available, so i changed it so that you couldn't solve her puzzle that early.
Hi can anyone help me find my last piece of coal? (I tried the trees and track, as in previous posts.)
hmmm did you actually find the ones in the tree and behind track?
Yes, got one from tree, and 2 from behind tracks, also one from behind cross support. Am I missing anything obvious? Thanks!
dharr999
14-02-08, 12:32 PM
it's not quite THAT obvious. in fact i'd say it's one of the hardest puzzles in the game.
If it's the hardest, surly it's worth a small clue?!?
Ok stupid question, having found all the coal which I must say was not an easy task :D, How do you start the train I've given it the coal and it ain't doin anything am I missing something :v2_dizzy_confused2: (I even asked my hubby who is a train driver to have a look he wasn't much help :v2_dizzy_tongue2:)
Forget last post managed to figure it out.
That was so cool Jamie you must have some imagination to come up with that it was brill :dizzy_cool:
How are you surposed to get back across the Canyon :v2_dizzy_confused2:
dharr999 the bit your on is the hardest puzzle.. i did it by accident and its not really obvious.. I'm not sure on the logic... lol
Kitty have you check the in/under the water? i think there was one swimming about down there.... but your best option is to check under all the boxes, bottles, cages and any thing else.
Adz.M..you didn't find Danny.. :v2_dizzy_tongue2:
Annie.. you'll come across the bridge solution while doing other things.
i still got 3 gems to find and I'm done.. i know one is in under a roof tile but i haven't been able to get it...at least haven't found the correct item to use.. if its where i think it is.
ClientFan
14-02-08, 04:21 PM
Just one gem left to find now :dizzy_cool:
But given that I couldn't get the moon diamond in Diamond Mine, nor the pipes one in Dreamworld without being told on here where they were, I very much doubt I am going to find this one on my own either! :hitwall:
Cheers Meph, I think it is the thing next to Poggie, just gotta get to Poggie :D

what items haven't you used yet (apart from ones hiding gems)?
i'll give everyone a clue, in that there are only 2 items (apart from ones hiding gems) that have no use at all.
oh and 2 items that hide gems/coal do have a use, however you don't need them to complete the game.... ;)
Thanks for the suggestions Meph. I've found 2 in the water already, and have had a go at checking behind objects. Is there maybe a room I haven't found using spade or pickaxe?
If it's the hardest, surly it's worth a small clue?!?
i don't know where you live, but did you ever play conkers at school?
i think i used the pickaxe twice but if you only need one more coal i don't think its needed anymore.. but neither the pickaxe or spade will open any hidden rooms.
TF his past the 'conker' his over the other side of the bridge now..
neither the pickaxe or spade will open any hidden rooms.
how sure are you of that? ;)
True, I found a hidden room entrance in the Flooded Mine Shaft leading to the homepage! And that's what gets me, I've been so thorough and yet I still can't find it loL!
:O
is there a way to access that squid?
I've got 3 objects I've not found used for.. but still 3 gems short..

they are cat lamp and the megaphone .
ah i see.
i was wondering what the third item was.

Only Just started the game earlier this afternoon but was making pretty good progress I thought seeing as just started & got up to 18 Coals, reading the threads I got one from the tree that was mentioned using the item required so im on 19 coals but well and truly stuck finding the last one. I seem to have all the ones mentioned. Ive spent much more time looking for the last one than ive spent on the rest of the game up this point & have the feeling that could be it. Ive gone through the screens time and time again checking everything but no avail.
I got the crowbar which I know where to use (but no truck to empty as yet), truck brakes, talisman, baby bottle, whistle, bucket of water, rotten torch handle, pickaxe (used twice), spade (used once), woodcutters axe.
By fluke I got rid of the wheel item, (I assume that for points only if im right).
Have I just missed it somewhere or is there another puzzle/screen I not got to yet. I done the hard hat, the ghosts, the dark force puzzles, the dynamite etc....so I thinking the next puzzle is the 20 coals to the train.
Somehow I think I be waiting for the official 'where to find the coals' help spoilers as I aint going find this last one

not quite! Magic Star Dizzy would be correct. see the other thread.
And what i have noticed is the first game is DMD
if turn the M upside down you get DWD
and then the next three games have two letters the same
TTD WWD RRD
so after MSD the next game should be called WSD or DSM
what do you think about that -TF-
all the best

Yeeee ive found that last piece of coal - all 20 got now, drove me nuts looking for it though lol :v2_dizzy_smile:

i'll give everyone a clue, in that there are only 2 items (apart from ones hiding gems) that have no use at all.
oh and 2 items that hide gems/coal do have a use, however you don't need them to complete the game.... ;)

I'm stuck again :v2_dizzy_frown:
How do I get down the grave & get the bridge thing by Poggie :v2_dizzy_confused2:
^ climb up using the clouds
i can't work out what i have to do with this cat.. got any hints?
i still got 3 gems to get, and i can't get the one on the roof.. i think I've tried every item I've got.. i hope it wasn't the crowbar!

you don't need an item to get the gem 'on the roof'
tbh i really didn't think i'd hidden the gems that sneakily this time, as i am aware it was one of the issues people had with DWD and DMD. so i can't really say 'these are the hardest', altho if people are still struggling in a week or two, i may list some of them, or at least the rooms they are in.
in the meantime, jump everywhere you can think of, and try to pick up virtually everything you can see. That should get you most of them. ;)
Cheers Meph, I've tried but I cannot stand on the clouds :dizzy_confused:

Made bit of progress now, been train riding and the cart riding jump (but this is better than spellbound ha), have to say im impressed with the ingenuity of the game Jamie.
Ok I got 15 gems but I keep seeing them twinkling in the caves etc amongst the dark background - are you suppose to beable to get these or are they for decorative purposes ?
Anyway ive sorted the cave monster, mining book to the miner, fixed grand dizzy's stick, got the following items now, the mirror, the lamp, megaphone, weather vein, egg basket, duster, electric torch & scroll.

for your information, and others who may have a similar problem, the book says:

Been in the secret passage & down the grave and up to 37 gems now. This is the part of dizzy games I dont like trying to
find the remaining ones in this case gems as I never seem to get them all.
Should I at this stage be able to complete the game or are they some more puzzles to solve although dont seem it ?
I have 3 main items left ive not used and 3 others (which may or may not be for points only)
Also I dunno if I should beable to kill the spiders & bats or any of the under water sprites (for points).
what are the three items you have left?
oh and i didn't bother trying to hide gems in really really awkward places this time.

Apart from the problems I am having in game trying to solve the puzzles, I have encountered a couple of installation problems as well, dont know if its my decrepit old machine, it is 8 years old.
I have a few DizzAge games installed and still uncompleted. When i used WinZip to unzip and install Railroad, if I let it clear up the temporary files, then when i try to start Railroad, i get WinterWorld instead!
Have tricked Winzip, otherwise I would lose not only the game, but also my saves when I resart the PC.:v2_dizzy_frown:
Also, this is the first game i have tried where it doesnt appear to allow me to use my Saitek rumbling Joypad. I have gone into config to make sure its allowed but whether I enable or disable it in the Dizzy config makes no difference :v2_dizzy_confused2:
So i am having to use the keyboard, and simulate my own rumbles when I fall a great distance (AGAIN):D
I have never had any problems with any other DizzyAge game. Is it a new version of DizzyAge that doesnt like Windows 98 ?
Anyone got any ideas please ?
ermmm RRD uses v2.1 of DizzyAGE, which had a bug in it that meant joysticks weren't supported. v2.1.1 fixed this, but i haven't updated RRD yet... :v2_dizzy_blush:
regarding it starting WWD instead of RRD, i have no idea. Alex would need to comment on that.
i really must get around to updating the RRD .exe file to v2.1.1....

Well done Annie, I just need to find 3 more gems to complete but somehow
I dont think I will lol.
ok, a breakdown of the gems:
SPOILER ALERT!
8 are in plain view (including the one in the grave)
10 are in the mines and need an item
10 are in the caves and need an item
12 are hidden:
in the roof of the engine shed (jump left from buffers)
behind a jar near water in the mines
behind a wheel past the first ghost
behind a mechanism underwater
behind turrets in the tunnel above ground (you need to jump around a bit to get to it)
behind a support beam near a rat on the way to see dylan
behind some logs past the 4th ghost (on the way to the ride)
behind some leaves in the graveyard (jump on leftmost grave to reach)
behind a weather vane on the mine ride track
behind a railing above daisy
behind a railing in the room to the right of Dora's hut
behind a window frame on one of the cave huts
there. if you can't get all the gems with that, then.... :v2_dizzy_tongue:
oh and can i just say:
ARRGGGGHHHHH the bit of MSD i'm trying to code atm is DOING MY HEAD IN! :dizzy_mad: i mean seriously seriously. i don't remember being this frustrated since coding DMD....
In the room named "Foul Air" there is a yellow bag and everytime I go pick it up I disappear and then die from lack of air, am I surposed to be able to pick up the yellow bag :v2_dizzy_confused2:
Also I've already found all the hidden gems which I didn't think were that hard to find.
Yeah, you happen to disspear when you're about to suffercate standing still with the Aqualung, and get the yellow bag! trust me, It's worth picking up ;)
39 Gems now.
Thanx Adz
Got the yellow bag, defo worth getting I must say :v2_dizzy_happy:
Lord Dizzy of Yolkfolk
24-02-08, 05:17 PM
Thanks TF for the spoiler. Im up to 39 gems now, just that last one to find, I think I may have all the ones that were hidden now but not fully sure so perhaps must be one in view ive somehow missed somewhere.
Happy hunting :v2_dizzy_lol:
YES!!! finished it!!!:v2_dizzy_walkman::v2_dizzy_clapping:
8hrs 34mins and my score is 44820 though I could remove about 30 mins from that, when i forgot to pause it last weekend!
Well done TF! that was a fantastic game :dizzy_cool:
now to wait for MSD
In the room named "Foul Air" there is a yellow bag and everytime I go pick it up I disappear and then die from lack of air
hmmmm odd. i'll have to look into that...
EDIT:: OH! it's only when he's wearing the aqualung mask....and only when he's not moving. *goes to look at the code*
2ND EDIT:: Fixed. i've made it so that if he's wearing the aqualung, he can breathe in gas too. it occurred to me when i came to fix the problem that would be the most logical thing to do. new version is v1.01. it should also support joysticks now. Old save games SHOULD still work, as i haven't touched the map.
oh and well done colin for completing it! are you not going to try to increase your score? :p

it's quite easy to miss some of the ones that you need the items for. it's not easy to make sure you have all of them.

WOOHOO!
Now completed - 3hr 55mins and 48,500 points. Mind you, it was only thanks to Jamie's major gem spoiler. Like I said in an earlier post, in the previous two "epics" there was just ONE collectable that I would seriously have never got without the spoiler. My theory gains momentum!
Having said that though, although I thought I'd "actioned" everything, it was in a place where I probably didn't check for the first half of the game because there was a 'clear and present danger' there.
Jamie - a fantastic game, and dare I say even more polished than DMD and DWD. Although still huge, this one seemed a bit less spartan in certain places. And I loved the two new music pieces - especially the 'spooky' theme one. Where did you come up with that? Was it original?
I noticed from some of the above posts that you have done an updated version. I feel guilty therefore about bringing up another bug I think I've found - which is when you 'place' the empty ghost trap on the floor after having killed a ghost there, it still accepts it and gives you points for doing so. :O
Also... it is actually possible to catch more than one of the flies in the screen to the immediate right of the start?

Thank you very much! the spooky music i found in among the music file that you can download with DizzyAGE. i try to use mainly music by David Whittaker, as he wrote the music to Fantasy World and (i think) Magicland, so it sounds similar. i believe he also wrote the 'spooky' music, altho i can't remember which game it was for.
i am very aware that RRD is still quite spartan in places, and am majorly addressing that issue in MSD...

arrrggghhhhhh! i've looked at the code, and yes it shouldn't do that! nevermind, i've fixed it quite easily (i hope! i didn't have time to test it, but i've used that code before and it should work). I've also sent the updated version to Alex (still v1.01), as he hasn't yet updated the DizzyAGE site. Saved games should still work. your score doesn't seem <i>quite</i> as impressive now! :p

Personally I think this has been the best fan game played and easily matches any of the official games....well done TF for a fantastic design

Almost forgot to mention I think the last gem which was one of the hidden ones I needed was omitted from the spoiler. Might be worth a check that.
However that was a great help as I there was two I got from that I wouldnt
have completed otherwise.

??? which one? that list is from the list of gems that i have...
congratulations! i do wonder however, how much of the score is made up of the bug with the ghost trap allowing you to gain more points...
lets just say that if you lost a life or lost more than half your health bar, you shouldn't have a score that big! :p
if you didn't get extra points from the ghost trap, then seriously well done! that's a really good score!
Lord Dizzy of Yolkfolk
25-02-08, 05:23 PM
No I certainly dont think I got any points from the ghost trap glitch if that was it was as I never realised. I just tried to clear all ghosts, rats, flies etc
& access every screen possible (including the secret one mentioned in this help thread & the edge of screen ones) & being very diligent in my movement
(also I managed to solve some of the puzzles for extra points too). Just was more much time consuming.
I be honest though I wasnt expecting such a high score until got the large points at the end for completing (which slightly crossed my mind if you got, that was pleasing, was rewarding :v2_dizzy_smile:)
SPOILER
There are 2 gems hidden behind railings, the other being to the screen right off Doras Hut.
Unless ive got caught up in the excitement of things and im mistaken that one wasnt listed.
Anyway I take this opportunity again to say was a really enjoyable play & well
done for a superlative game :v2_dizzy_clapping:
haha i actually had to go into the map to find which one i'd mis-described, and you are of course correct! i had that one in my solution file as being out in the open, when it isn't. :p i've updated the spoiler! :v2_dizzy_thumbsup:
ah well being careful in how you move is the key. you lose 10 points for every slice of life you lose, and 500 for every life you lose (even if you drained your energy bar losing it!), so being careful is most definately the key!
after that, getting the rest of the points needed for the maximum score is a relative doddle! :v2_dizzy_clapping:
now to carry on coding MSD...
got to find 1 more gem.
and having a peek at the list the one i pretty sure i missing
is the tunnel above ground room but can't find were that room is?
i think i probably mis-described it. it's the left hand side of the tunnel the engine goes through.
oh the one behind the strange spikes? if so i found that right at the start.. umm if thats the case then i can't think what I'm missing.. unless I've missed one of the obvious ones in the mines/caves.. don't recall seeing any others though.
BUGGER! No wonder I've had trouble finding the last gem, I've been playing the beta version where I couldn't stand on the buffers.
Well at least I know where all the gems are now :p I might be some time when I can get round to playing it again.

Hi!
Only recently stumbled across the site and been making my way through these superb fan-games, but Rail-Road Dizzy is the one that's got me seriously stumped.
I have the Proton Pack and have put down the Ghost Trap in front of the first ghost, but once the Trap is down I can't access the inventory to use the Proton Pack on it. And if I pick up the Trap it can't be dropped again! Am I doing something wrong?
This is absolutely driving me nuts! If anyone can help, it would be muchly appreciated.
woah that's bizarre! i just played it, and you're right! i think a bug must have got in there when i upgraded it to v1.01 from v1.
i've just fixed it, but i'll upgrade the game to DizzyAGE v2.2 tomorrow before i release it, so that i don't then have to release it again. the new version will be v1.1, and will be an ESSENTIAL upgrade, as it isn't actually possible to complete the game using v1.01 :embarassed:
for those of you that are thinking 'well *i* completed it using v1.01', if you had saved games from v1 that had got you past the ghosts, you would have been able to, as the save games from v1 still worked in v1.01, but if you start a new game in v1.01, the game can't be completed.
dammit!
thanks Euphemia for alerting me to that bug!
version 1.1 has been released, for anyone wondering why they can't get past the ghosty! try the newer version, and you should find all your problems vanish! :p

and there are 2 rooms you've included that it simply isn't possible to access playing the game normally. :p
the map looks more beautiful with these 2 rooms ; )
i'll re-upload it soon

now most people have finished the game can jamie do a walk through
thanks
Jamie already has! it's on the dizzyage site. just go to the games download page :v2_dizzy_happy:
thanks colin
how thick am i not to have looked first.
but i see there is no walk through for treasure tomb
correct, there is no walk through for Treasure Tomb Dizzy, as i felt that (apart from the obstacles) it is quite an easy game, with no hugely difficult puzzles. if you are stuck however, post your problem in the relevant thread, and i'm sure someone will be able to help you.
Just completed the game again, beat my time but my score. Will just have to go back and try again :v2_dizzy_happy:

excellent! i'm glad the score+time are providing an incentive to go back and play the game again, as part of the point of adding them was to give a little extra something to the game, rather than just 'when you've completed the game, that's it.' :)
there's actually quite a few things you can do in this game that will increase your score, but aren't required to complete the game.
Just completed this excellent game. Loved the use of the cat - thought I was imagining things at first :v2_dizzy_clapping: and the duster was pure class :dizzy_smile:
Hubby's complaining that I don't use a duster enough since our son introduced me to these games. Anyway, off to play Dream World now.

Never managed to complete this game so started again yesterday.
had the plunger but no the dynamite as had left it at the mine entrance (keeping everything together) so dropped the detonator where it was supposed to go and suddenly i had the dynamite beside me. basically what happens when you dont have the dynamite in the correct position
interesting, i'd say that's a bug...
i'll take a look at it once i've finished IID, as i also want to change the intro screen to RRD to be in line with the ones on my other games.

honestly? i can't remember. :p

no, i've just checked and you actually need to use the dynamite to get the spade.
Also, i can neither replicate the bug you mentioned, nor find a problem in the code. The code looks fine.
i played the game. so far, i collect 18 coals and 9 gems.
i just curious, i could ALWAYS walk and swim in the water without getting hurt. see below picture:

at first, i thought it was normal. but when i reached this room:
http://thumbnails14.imagebam.com/4269/3f66be42685722.gif (http://www.imagebam.com/image/3f66be42685722/)
and trying to see what next (get a little hurt), i found an aqualung. funny, because in the deep cavern, i also found 'watery zones' and never get hurt at all. i could get a bottle of suntan lotion and a duster there without problem.

i take a little jump across the monster, sacrificing one of dizzy's, and move along.
http://thumbnails4.imagebam.com/4269/5b8ab542685714.gif (http://www.imagebam.com/image/5b8ab542685714/)
dizzy is getting stuck here and cannot move.
http://thumbnails11.imagebam.com/4269/6f2a3d42685715.gif (http://www.imagebam.com/image/6f2a3d42685715/)
seeing the screen name, i realize that i should came from above. perhaps must completed the train puzzle before (20 coals needed).
i reload my save game. all the items that i found in the cave after the monster screen couldn't help me passing the monster or moving to the upper ground. so, i cannot go out from the cave, surely must be restarting from the beginning.
i just inform this. plase don't give me any hint this time because i like the puzzles. :) i try to solve the puzzles by myself, without using walkthrough or hints from the others. well, maybe a little peek, if i get stuck later in the game for two weeks :D

About the water thing, you can go underwater for a bit without dying. Later in the game you will find some longer stretches of water, and for these you will need the aqualung.
No idea about the other stuff!
where he is going through the water without dying, he shouldn't be able to. it's too long a stretch of water. I'll have to take a look at it sometime. If you can't get past the water without dying, then you won't have any of the other issues.
i definitely sure that i could go underwater safely without using aqualung, ever! i restart 3 times, all the same. just try it.
like i said before, i could get duster and suntan lotion without dying. normally, you need aqualung to have those things.
that bug brings puzzle-solving much easier, because i could 'peek' all the room that i normally couldn't do. also, one more free inventory space.
now, i've finished the game with 48900 pts. so far, i think i've explored all the room but still don't get max scores.
hint please, is that a secret room or additional possible score like 'juicy apple' and 'tick-tock clock' in illusion island? is that any use of old lamp and megaphone ?
thx for the answer!

no, there is no use for them. I'll look at the underwater bug in a bit.
ok, that's bizarre. i can walk anywhere underwater. :v2_dizzy_confused2: i'll have to have a good look at this sometime this week, as that is a major bug!
alex, adz, can you temporarily disable the downloads until i fix it?
the Water Bug is fixed in v1.20, which i've just sent to Alex and Adz to upload.
worryingly, looking at the release history, i think the bug was probably introduced in v1.01 (way back in February 2008!) when i made it possible to breathe in Gas with the Snorkel. (the code didn't take account of there also being water in the game) That would make this version the first version with no major bugs in it... :O
anyway, because it's a major bug fix, i've stopped previous saved games working with v1.20, sorry!
