The sixth adventure of Dizzy, following Spellbound Dizzy. As a reaction to the previous title, which was deemed too vast and occasionally tedious, I’d say Prince of the Yolkfolk is the shortest and easiest of the series. In any case, it’s the first one I managed to finish on my own. There are virtually no enemies. The only real way to die is by falling into the water. However, the jump mechanics remain somewhat frustrating (fourth image, for example).
So, it’s a child’s game, and not just in appearance, one that will reward your perseverance and curiosity.
It’s part of two compilations on the Amiga: Dizzy’s Excellent Adventures and The Big Six. It was also released the same year on consoles (NES, Master System, and Game Gear) under the name Dizzy the Adventurer, and in 2011, a modernised version found its way onto mobile phones.
