It's a simple game but addictive and fun.

It was bundled in a Dizzy compilation and I like it. Not sure about everyone else.

Another one of the games I like everyone else hates

A terrible entry on Dizzy's excellent adventures compilation. Audio and visuals are nothing to shout about either! Best left alone. :sick:

The Worst Dizzy game for sure. The graphics is OK, music - really good. But the gameplay- almost horrible. All you have to do is to match the right shape with the right hole. Sooo booooring. 2 for the gameplay, 3 for the game.

Could've been nice I suppose - but in actual fact is bloody impossible to play. Shoehorning dizzy into it to see a few copies of a bad game doesn't make it right.

I hate you dizzy!!!

Not the worst game ever but by Codemaster standards (even in the C64 age, let alone the Colin Mcrae Rally age) this was just sheer garbage. Possibly the worst excuse ever for a C64 game.

Surely this is a joke. Utterly awful, the worst excuse for a Dizzy game ever. Match the right shape with the right hole. The eye-warping colour scheme is enough to put you off.

A terrible game, the idea just doesn't work. What a shame they put dizzy in it for no reason at all.

The only good thing about this, is the music, which was quite enjoyable.

I sorta re-created this game in Klik and Play. I just didn't put Dizzy in it. This is probably the weakest Dizzy game. Goodbye.

One of the worst games ever released for the C64. By tagging the name Dizzy onto the most mediocre 'fit that shape in this hole' type of puzzle game the only thing Codemasters achieved was to soil the name of their 8-bit martyr.

This game is a disgrace to the Commodore 64, a waste
of time and money. !!!

greetings to every one on this site:-
including the kernal for giving us who wants to be a millionaire for the C64

I agree, this game was boring, the music was about the only decent thing on this game. !! How could any one
have released it. !!

A disgrace to the Dizzy name! This puzzle game is mediocre and could've done with a 2 player mode.
