Dizzy games. Still being made now...

I've got a lot of abandonware links and stuff, most seem to be here already in various locations but wonder if anyone knows that the Dizzy games are still being made now by fans?

That's awesome! I used to love the Dizzy games on the ZX spectrum! Thank you for the link x

Thanx, I discovered dizzy via the commodore 64

Yip, me too. Remember twiddling with a dodgy wire to get it to load with that sound, remember the sound whilst it was loading? Was brought up on Dizzy, Manic Miner, Jet Set Willy, Chuckie Egg, Booty, Blitz, Monty Mole and many others.

I used to play Treasure Island Dizzy on the Amiga.

It was moderately addictive at the time, but I don't really have an inclination to play it again now. However, I wasn't aware that Dizzy still has that kind of a following, with over 150 fan game projects! :surprise:

Retro games in general are awesome. Even better when they get well done remakes that work properly on modern computers. All kinds of improvements are possible with that. :thumbsup:
