Dizzy Y — ZXNet «zx.spectrum»

From Igor Gruzdev To All 11 October 1997

Hello, Sergei!

It’s quiet outside the window, and I’m sitting and writing a response to a letter written from Sergei Novikov to
Igor Gruzdev Thu Oct 09 1997 at 23:50...

SN>>> Year 96... Yes, Softstar still did something worthwhile. For example,
SN>>> Dizzy Y remix. Or Street Fighter 2...
IG>> What does 'Dizzy-Y remix' mean?
SN> Dizzy X-2. Improved intro and improved graphics in the game.

"Alice, don't confuse me." (C)
There are dizzy X and dizzy Y, the game is a continuation of X. And then, what does _improved_
graphics mean in the game? I can’t imagine what could be done there... Animate maybe? Like in dizzy-5/128?

With all sorts of regards and wishes.
Igor.

... Life is built from those bricks that fall on your head.

So softstar called it Dizzy X-2.

IG> And then, what does _improved_ graphics in the game mean? I can't imagine that
IG> could be trashed there...

Some terrible sprites of the heroes were replaced with very decent ones.

With God's blessing, Novikov Sergei AKA Spirit/STEP

... Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my Soul to keep.

From Max Romanoff To All 15 October 1997

Sergei is that you?
...why were you telling Igor Gruzdev about Dizzy Y?

SN> Some scary hero sprites have been replaced with very decent ones.

lameness. those. only lamers change the graphics in games and call
them by other names, with the addition NEW.

Good Luck...

... Madness takes its toll. Please have exact change.

MR> lameness. those. only lamers change the graphics in games, and call
MR> them by other names, with the addition NEW.

Get out on the Internet and tell this to the Western fans of Speckie and Manik Minera, in which
the graphics and levels have already been changed 100 times, there is even an editor in BASIC from
1996, and a toy with new levels.

P.S. In some games, improving the graphics is good.

Regards, Alex from FFC COMPUTERS.

From Vyacheslav Mednonogov To All 17 October 1997

Dangerous lameness, bordering on 8-SH hacking

Warm greetings, Slava!

Warlocks! I spoke a couple of weeks ago with the author of DIZZY X and DIZZY Y, he just got out of Krestov... He was there for being a hooligan :( And you are breaking... This is not good:(

Well, that’s all, Ilya!
