Spellbound Dizzy Lite - Commodore 64 - longplay
5This release is the one included into Dizzy's Excellent Adventures (a compilation featuring five games) and comes with a significantly reduced version of the original game, with many bugs.
The series was originally developed by the Oliver twins but they had little involvement with this title other than executive sign-off, leaving Big Red Software to redesign the graphics engine and design the game and puzzles.
The game is the fifth in the Dizzy series, excluding arcade spinoffs such as Kwik Snax.
The gameplay is also complicated by the fact that Dizzy loses health when falling from heights (a feature which was removed from subsequent games).
The game also presents slightly different user interface, graphics and concepts that never occurred earlier or later in the series: an inventory with items icons, separated collection (stars) and healing (apples) items (in other games they are always '2 in 1'), hidden passages and dynamic animated set pieces (the travel tunnels, the mining cart, etc.) There are additional animations and abilities, such as swimming and eating.
Many thanks, as usual when we're speaking of Dizzy games, goes to @shimo_retro_gameplays6288 !

Played by Shimonesan and recorded by V.E.D., as part of the videogame endings database, whose goal is to catalogue and create the world's largest archive of videogame endings! (what an humble and not ambitious project :D)
