Amiga 500 Longplay [183] Treasure Island Dizzy

[@RUFU58]

I remember playing this game as a kid, and after watching this video, realising that I only ever completed about 2% of it. The back and forth is quite relentless 😆

[@KA0T]

haha, same. unfinishable but the music was cool so we played it anyway.

[@andrestricker2795]

Yeah loved this game too and one time i was under the water. Never checked, in which place i have to put the snorkl to get in the water.

[@Skipper-j2z]

and its only a 29 minute game. lol

[@Ralien666TV]

wow, the hours I spent playing this game. What a find!!

[@Eve_xx932]

Hello nostalgia my old friend! Transported right back as a 8 year old in the 80’s!

[@kevinedward6132]

That guy in the store with his selling you a useful boat in about 10 damn parts must have got a job in EA games dlc department after this game :D

[@Knightmar3Dragon]

Lool def cud have 🤣🤣

[@paulolameiras861]

3:20 "Look out for 'advanced ski simulator' from the same great team who brought you 'treasure island dizzy" This is gold!

[@pferreira1983]

What about Advanced Fruit Machine?

[@thechosenwon6762]

Can't wait for that to drop know what I'm getting for Christmas 🎁

[@robfinlay8058]

One of the greatest games of all time, a true masterpiece.

[@thejoin4687]

I want this music played at my funeral.

[@RUFU58]

Haha

[@Mike649foxx]

You have that at your funeral and I’ll have the music from “Monty on the run” at mine.

[@gizagoogames2595]

I want to be invited

[@martymart9222]

I remember completing this on a zx spectrum 48k when I was a kid.. nothing can compare to the feeling..great memorys

[@gsw0865]

After over 30 years I can still remember the cheat code for this - just type in ‘I can fly’ (no spaces) on the title page

[@andrewsimpson1641]

Also "eggsonlegs" for invincibility

[@andrewmcnamara3959]

Those cages in the forest used to frighten the bejeebus out of 6yo me

[@Bertie_Ahern]

Loved the happy colorfulness of TID, really immersive, and the music was easily the best of the series.

[@georgem7502]

One life. One. One tiny mistake and you had to run the whole thing right through again from the start

[@thisnthat3530]

Accidently dropping the snorkel while under water comes to mind.

[@Lifes.lemonade]

or a glitch on the amstrad 🤬

[@thechosenwon6762]

Lazy programming tbh

[@jamesmeader2261]

Loved this game back in the day ❤

[@hfric]

now this brings me back ...

[@cybermodo]

I like chip music, and mimicking chip music. Never grows old, unlike old sampled sounds and tunes.

[@MMAproAtGOLF]

Man I loved this 😂 couldn’t get far tho and that music is still banging

[@graemenicol6377]

I used to loved the Dizzy I can't think of one I didn't enjoy.

[@richardreeder]

I remember going to a friends house and seeing this game and being amazed by the gamut of colours. Great memories

[@thechosenwon6762]

Can I come over to yours and play it lol

[@80s_kid.]

Damn i used to play this game for hours in the early 90s on my Amiga 500, i think i might have had it on my commodore 64 and my Super Nintendo as well, such great time of my life.

[@weaponsigma]

I had this on the C64. They obviously improved the graphics for the Amiga, but it sounds like they used the exact same musical score.

[@MrSpazzard]

Funnily enough it was originally composed on Atari ST, then the music was ported to both C64 and Amiga, which is why it sounds so chip tuney.

[@thebigloc1]

I remember watching one of my brother's playing dizzy games on the C64 then Amiga 500 for hours. He finished a few of them including this treasure island dizzy.

[@LEE_MILLARD]

Graphics were so bright & colourful for the time

[@EffoVonOrton]

Music is very moody and euphoric. I feel like be in paradise.

[@TheRetroShed]

Never liked the game much but the music is just brilliant!

[@zts99]

Music is good

[@Avrelivs_Gold]

the first fantasy game for me. open world almost

[@Lifes.lemonade]

they dont make games like the retro ones yet we have so many fond memories of sitting playing/watching others play these games, i really like oh mummy and fast food.

[@kawrght]

I feel like the shop man is a good representation of videogames these days

[@nickthelick]

Ah yes, still got this for my Amiga in a pack... Love it. I completed it on both my Spectrum 128k+2 and my Amiga 500+ (and Amiga 1200). I even got all the secret coins! 🤔 Or was that Fantasy World or MagicLand Dizzy? 🤔 Funny how so few Americans never really got this game. Not many Spectrum games really crossed the pond back then.

[@GreatMewtwo]

4:05 in the NES port, the remote detonator is referred to as an "infra red(sic)" detonator

[@jimmorrison4291]

Back in the days when you got stuck on a puzzle and had to just stop playing the game

[@PlattLineker2Pen]

Yeah, what i would've done for a youtube walk through back then!! 😂

[@toriarm82]

a very beautiful pixel art!!! its better than the actually games in 2D

[@ant-null]

It's strange seeing this so colourful - I only saw the Amstrad version with the black background, so I assumed everything happened at night. Not so, it seems!

[@animoley8012]

Remember playing this a long time as a kid working out the puzzles, sometimes with a friend, and of course you only had 1 life, so if you died. Had to start all over again! AARRRGH! Never got all 30 Coins back then but think I managed to get off the island. Just replayed it today on the A500 Mini. Epic Nostalgia but I had to work a lot out again as Id forgotten it… Was a bit easier on my Brain now I’m 41 though! 😊

[@gutz323]

I rember solving all the puzzles on this game as a kid, but there was just either one, or two coins i could never find.

[@alaskanmalamute101]

Remember playing this as kid lot harder back before u had Google lol took me ages to work out what to do

[@gertfukked3082]

Aha, now i know which steps i missed all these years

[@jimmyjryan6645]

who remembers the cheats lol, eggonlegs and icanfly on the title screen god i miss going to the local store to pick up cuamiga and the other mags for the demo disks and such, my fav machine of all time Amiga for life, just wish they had not gone under, their stuff was the stuff of dreams at the time. :-) well i am older now and love my PC who knows what the future holds, i even have my fav game now the original Settlers cus i found out that bluebyte are now part of ubisoft so they have that game available and fully working on pc, so many night spent with my friends and family conquering each other lol. have fun everyone goodluck in life :-) sshhhh i have an amiga 600 and 1200 in my loft stored away one day they will come out again lol

[@juracyoliveira4373]

Great my favorit game kids

[@petermousley7328]

I used to love this game

[@shemarlosscott4103]

Good Game

[@Gokou1200]

Ah remember this game for the Amiga A500+, remember the slick music. Don't think I played it much though because of the difficulty level. Think I returned the game along with Jurassic Park. Jurassic Park wasn't what I expected. Played Captain Planet longer.

[@goodcitizen477]

I could only ever find 29 coins when I played! even now, not sure which one I missed having watched this play through

[@donnaedrums]

Same!

[@Freakydile]

@@donnaedrums me too!!! think it was a flaw in the copy?????

[@thisnthat3530]

I had trouble finding the last coin. Eventually found it behind a random bush in the treehouse area. Completely unmarked.

[@nickthelick]

@@thisnthat3530 Ha, I remember that one. It's as soon as you enter the screen. Pick up the bush/leaves and it's there! Funnily enough, the 1st one I found and it was purely a mistake! 😂 God I loved this game, along with the first and Fantasy Land Dizzy. There were a couple more Dizzy adventure games that I never got to play. In fact, one unreleased Dizzy game came out just a couple of years ago for that Evercade thingy!

[@navichrisfy]

I am Dizzy..

[@afourthfool]

Dizzy is float

[@thechosenwon6762]

What an amazing ending 👏👏👏

[@Lifes.lemonade]

i never ever worked out how to play properly and being 6/7 i just gathered the stuff i could get, messed around a bit then changed games to fast food or oh mummy.

[@plalondecai]

The best dizzy game.

[@RockoOfBolton]

Awesome game and great score also

[@trentonthompson247]

Does it really run at 25FPS?

[@pferreira1983]

Not sure. Is there a website to check?

[@XanthinZarda]

Weird to see the flash screen "scrolling" instead of smooth scrolling on a system clearly capable of it.

[@burgertim7878]

All versions flash the screen like that though.

[@XanthinZarda]

@@burgertim7878 Sure. But with an Amiga, you'd expect what with it being visually enhanced and fully colored in, to see other things like Zelda Style "puller" scrolling.

[@XanthinZarda]

@@mabskmk No. As someone who grew up in the 1990s in Suburban Texas, Amstrad would have been a _literally who?_ kind of situation to me.

[@jamiehav0k62]

The game was made for a spectrum - they improved the gfx for amiga and atari ports 2 years later but they weren't going to rewrite the whole thing especially as it was only a budget release to begin with.

[@HeitorMD]

all versions are like that, but weird seeing other dizzt amiga games have zelda scrolling or a fade

[@BLACULA-Skeewoah]

Dizzy reminds me of a toy my uncle got stuck up his arse one Christmas and we had to bring him to accident and emergency 😂

[@OldSchoolRasslin]

11:04 jesus.

[@Heliophanus]

I remember this being the 'best thing ever' when I got my Amiga. Has aged poorly, to say the least. Would play something like Turrican 2 or even Jet Set Willy over this. The music in particular is grating.

[@15toom]

i love AMIGA

[@pferreira1983]

It was good to see Dizzy on Amiga but ZX Spectrum was his home for me.

[@Cuzjudd]

pls

[@pferreira1983]

@@Cuzjudd What? It's true.

[@nickthelick]

@@pferreira1983 Totally agree with you... Had Dizzy, Treasure Island Dizzy and Fantasy Land Dizzy (along with a couple of spin offs, Fast Food Dizzy and something else I now forget!) 🤔... Had them all on Spectrum and then my Amiga... Loved them all. *Sigh!* Edit: I had Fantasy _World_ Dizzy and _MagicLand_ Dizzy!

[@pferreira1983]

@@nickthelick Yeah Dizzy got most of the games, it all started there.

[@keatonblackman472]

Cool Game

Ni Deadpool rompe tanto la cuarta pared 😂

[@lezlie1974]

Timeless treasure 😁

[@shirleyandshanice]

Used to love the 'I can fly' cheat

[@benapfel8792]

yep, that was magic.

[@gregwalker428]

I could never get the last coin

[@samuelgiles7571]

AVGN reviewed this game!

[@pferreira1983]

The Nes port I guess if he even reviewed that.

[@laurawalker984]

I finished it with the cheat from the codemasters hotline, e.g. 'I can fly' - just made it less tedious to get through being able to fly.

[@osbertos]

Hardest game ever 😭

[@chrishansen7004]

"What a fucking piece of dogshit"

[@t8757]

Amazing shit

[@607]

Great! Surely this is a redo longplay, though? The music doesn't work so well on Amiga though, I've got to say. :$

[@blue--forest]

やった事ないけど、これだけは言いたい。 こっちみんな。

[@joebloggs4845]

what?

[@Cuzjudd]

yaaaaaaaaaas

[@arsenewenger30]

I loved all the Codemasters games on the Spectrum and Amiga. I wonder if they will ever release them on console. Super Robin Hood on the Specy was brilliant.

[@ryanapted3598]

Million dollar question... What the hell was the bible used for?

[@speedyreidy575]

If I remember correctly, It stops you getting electrocuted when you exit the pirates grave. If you leave without it you get struck by a lightning bolt.

[@paulmay4785]

Just preferred the spectrum versions. The Amiga made it more of a kids game with the graphics

[@richardcrook2112]

The Spectrum graphics are miles better, with black background etc, more cosy somehow.

[@HeitorMD]

@@richardcrook2112 i dont agree

[@jamesparkerone]

Tunes are banging. No wonder I became a raging drug addict.
