Absolutely love Fast Food. Sure it starts of slow but as the levels get harder with more obstacles, baddies things to collect, doors to deal with the slowness is not noticed, it's beneficial to the game. Great music, great cut scenes, just all round good fun for everyone. C64 version might not be as attractive with the Amstrad of Spectrum version but the game play is all there. Brilliant stuff.

Originally devised as a marketing tie-in for the long-gone Happy Eater service stations, when that licence fell through, Dizzy was shoehorned in.

It's been said that this is a Pac-Man clone, and there are some elements that do echo that game, the mazes and the monsters. However it's just too slow and seems unbalanced.

It's not a bad game, but there are plenty of better ones out there. For the best Dizzy spinoff, check out Kwik Snax.

When I saw this game. I was expecting it to be something like a proper Pac Man style game (As I was a fan of this genre). Unfortunately, it turns out that this game was one of those monotonous and too easy to play. Kwik Snax was more cooler.

Had this one cartridge with two other games (skateboard and tennis) and think it was really bad (I was 8 years old). :)

I bought this game and it made me so angry that I dropped a chair on my C64 keyboard. I also smashed the casette.

I agree with the review completely. The graphics are so dull, it's much too repetitive, and the happy-sick music will drive you as nutty as a pet coon. Bad gameplay, Dizzy is... Too... Slooow! You're better off with Dizzy Kwik Snax!

An absolute pile of turd. I bought this thinking it would be another fun Dizzy adventure. Imagine when I played it and found it to be a lame ass Pacman clone.

Cynical to say the least.

A worthless and useless Pacman clone. Simple as that.

One of the worse games I've checkout for ages. The main sprite is so fucking ugly and the graphics are so bad you can't tell whos who. This game should go to the Dogs!

I really enjoy playing this game, the music is cheerful and the play progresses nicely in terms of difficulty. Only problem is that it runs at too slow a speed. Pick up a speed boost and you will be dissapointed when it runs out!

My son loves this game, so I like it too.. Keeps him quiet..

A childish game with OK graphics and sound. This game idea was OK back in 83-84... But for the later games ??? Naw, don't think so!

Nice maze game. Graphics OK.

One of several games released by Codemasters that were loosely tied in with their successful Dizzy series. Sadly, Fast Food is not up to the standards of the Dizzy adventure series. Enjoyable as it is, in a limited scope, Fast food is nothing more than a really poor Pacman clone.
