  Treasure Island Dizzy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Treasure Island Dizzy was the second game in the Dizzy series, and is the sequel to Dizzy.
Critics consider this one of the most difficult Dizzy games as the energy bar system of later titles was not yet implemented and Dizzy is provided with only one life - contrasting with five in the first game and three in Fantasy World Dizzy, the immediate sequel, and most subsequent titles.
If Dizzy is underwater, and the snorkel happens to be at the top of the inventory list, he will put the snorkel down when the player hits "enter", and instantly die.

 Magicland Dizzy
Here's the 4th Dizzy game in the series (not counting Fast Food and Kwik Snax of course which were arcade games and so completely different) - Magicland Dizzy, which is simply more of the same, but what the heck, eh?
Evil Wizard Zaks is back, and has turned the Yolkfolk, Daisy, Dora, Dylan, Denzil and Grand Dizzy into strange creatures and has teleported them to Magicland - a bit of a downer really because you, as Dizzy, have to go and get them back.
Once again the game consists of you walking and jumping through a platform-and-ladders flip-screen maze, solving puzzles to progress further, this time with the added task of locating the individual Yolkfolk (who have been turned into everything from bushes to a huge block of ice) and working out how to turn them back to normal.

You'll find puzzle-solving in this game to be more intelligent than in past Dizzy ports, but other than that, this is a classic Dizzy adventure, featuring Zenith's always excellent graphics and humor.
