Dizzy: Down the Rapids
arcade action game for Commodore 64, 1992
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dizzy and Daisy were out in the enchanted forest picking blue berries for a
pie they were making for a dinner party.
"These berries aren't very big!" muttered Dizzy plucking the miniscule fruit
from a bush.
"I can see some bigger ones over there" said Daisy. Dizzy trotted over to the
bush. "These are still too small", he said forlornly, "we're never going to
get enough!"
"How about these?" pointed out Daisy wandering yet further into the wood.
Before they knew it the two eggs had wandered far into the forest. By the
time they reached the banks of the Great Torrent River, the two knew they
had become hopelessly lost. Suddenly Daisy heard a twig snap, Dizzy span
around to be confronted by Rockwart the Troll and a gang of freocious
looking henchtrolls.
"I have you now little Egg!" breathed Rockward in his most sinister voice.
Quick as a flash Dizzy grabbed Daisy's hand and the pair ran desperately
toward the river.
"Hee HEE HEE!" laughed Rockwart manically as the trolls moved in ever closer.
But Dizzy had a plan..."Jump in here Daisy" he cried as he somersaulted
towards an abandoned apple barrel.
"We've escaped" he shouted back to the trolls in glee. Daisy screamed because
Daisy could only see what was in front of them.....
