There was already a thread about this, but the damned search is broken. However, as was mentioned in the other thread; no PC version. It even states the platforms on the main page; iPad/iPhone/Android. Yay for having an iDevice

If there's no PC version planned at all, why isn't this in the handheld devices section?

It's quite saddening to read that there are gamers who haven't even HEARD of Dizzy, let alone never played We really are getting old.

Great days with the Dizzy games I remember having to buy the collection just to get Prince of the Yolkfolk, which they later released as a standalone, bastards Treasure Island Dizzy on the Spectrum 128k had digitized speech, the guy actually said "Treasure Island Dizzy" it was amazing back then Dizzy 1 did come free with an Xmas copy of a Speccy mag back in the day, which was nice

Most people didn't finish it, heh, the Dizzy games were famed for their difficulty levels. Still awesome though (and yes, I finished them << or should that be :c64: or :amiga: ? )
