Dizzy! Is one of my all time favourite heroes, and all time favourites series. PotYF, although featuring some absolutely classic puzzles which would later be reused in console versions of Dizzy! Falls short by being... Well... Short. It's the smallest game in the series, and features places which you feel they wanted to expand upon but ran out of time. It also eschews everything that was added in Spellbound, including the updated graphics, to go back to the Spectrum style look.

Ho Hum, another Dizzy game. Ok, that's a bit harsh as I did enjoy playing them at the time. Seem to remember this one being shorter than the others but had the same style of GFX and sfx. An OK adventure. :|

This is a good game, but it should have been much bigger. For example - there are 2 castles with very little to do inside of them, you don't even have a chance to visit all of their rooms (for example - tower in the king's castle). I know that this really reminds of the best dizzy games like Magicland Dizzy, but I'm not so sure, if this is better than Spellbound Dizzy. It could have been better and it should - the puzzles are really good - but I'm afraid it's not.

A return to form for Dizzy after the disapointing "Spellbound Dizzy". Very much like fantasy World and Magicland dizzy in tone, although much smaller. A cute little puzzle adventure, maybe the perfect game to introduce dizzy to friends.

Fantastic! Brining back the great dizzy genre this game takes dizzy on another brilliant adventure. Quite short but again makes me want to load all my dizzy games at once. The bit with the lion and the thorn is classic.

Although this was initially only released on the 'Dizzy's exellent adventures' compliation, I was relieved to see Codemasters game it a release in its own right.

P. O. T. Y. F (Dizzy 6) is a far better game than Spellbound and manages to recreate that classic Dizzy atmosphere. Good puzzles, a great soundtrack and a quirky sense of humour help make Dizzy 6 a welcome addition to the series.
