Magicland Dizzy

Dizzy, a nice egg-shaped duck, once again has to face the evil sorcerer Zaks. This time this gentleman decided to cast charm on all the friends of our hero and imprison them in various places in the land of Yolkfolk. As you can easily guess, only the cleverness of the player will determine whether Zaks will fulfill its plan to the end or whether it will be lost in the dark abyss of Hades.

Chronologically, Magicland Dizzy is the fourth part of a series of adventure and arcade games published massively in the early nineties by Codemasters for eightbit computers and Amiga. Little has changed compared to our predecessors: we still have to jump on various platforms, avoid hostile Dizzy creatures and, of course, collect items that will help us on our journey. Each of the imprisoned residents of Yolkfolk has a problem with a normal existence, so in addition to defeating Zaksa, which is the number one task, you must also try to help them. The world in which we will come to move is definitely bigger than usual, which translates into the number of dangers lurking in wait for our hero. The player has a limited number of lives, so you have to be careful at every step, otherwise it may turn out that just before the end of the game, you will have to repeat everything anew. The option of recording the state of the game, as usual in Dizzy, does not exist.

Despite the use of a small palette of colors, the graphics is colorful and makes a pleasant impression. There is only one background music and after a long time it becomes annoying, so it is better to switch it off immediately. Magicland Dizzy, thanks to simple puzzles and a small number of dialogues, becomes a perfect position for younger players, who should enjoy guiding an egg-shaped creature.
