Fast Foooooooooood

Dizzy, but the game itself is in the style of Pac-Man, only there are not points to collect, but food products... :), and every 3 rooms there are interesting cutscenes + Extra life!

Pac-Man in the form of dizzy.

With all sorts of regards and wishes.

ND>>> I guessed it:), this is the Egg that this game is about, Dizzy runs around the
ND>>> maze (top view) and collects food!

IG>> It doesn’t collect, but consumes. ;) And he doesn't look much like Dizzy. Typical
IG>> pacman with legs/arms. :))

SN> Have you seen the picture? And what about cartoons?
What does the picture/cartoons have to do with it? Dizzy is, first of all, a quest.

Well, that’s all, Ilya!

AFAIK Dizzy is a hero, and what he does doesn’t matter - he’s still a dizzy!
:), IMHO, in this game he’s the one walking around, although this is certainly not a game from the
“adventures of dizzy” series :)

05 Sep 97. I’m sitting here, thinking about the vanity of all things, and suddenly I see - Ilya Fomin
talking peacefully with Sergei Novikov about Fast Foooooooooood:

The question was asked about what, i.e. who is the game about? And not what type she is.

PS: DiZI is a rulez foreva. In SPF 23, read a large article on this issue -
each diza has a place in it.

Hasta la vista! With God's blessing, Novikov Sergei AKA Spirit/STEP.

IG> Is this a reason to consider the subject dizzy?

Initially the question was - was it about dizzy by any chance? - so why argue?

Can you clearly formulate what a QUEST is and what an ADVENTURE is? I still can't tell the difference. We really need it!

Unfortunately, I can’t give clear differences.

With respect, Alex from FFC COMPUTERS.

In my understanding, a quest is a solution to problems and puzzles. There really aren't any puzzles in Dizzy, but there's a ton of stuff to put where, where and in what sequence
to apply. I just don’t know what else to call this genre.
Walker? Then Lode Runner is a walker, you also need to collect boxes there. No, Dizzy
is still closer to the quest.

I think that in an adventure you need to use the right object in the right
place and at the right time, and in a quest, in addition to all this, you also need to solve
puzzles (a typical IBM example is the game Neverhood). I may be wrong,
so if I'm wrong, please correct me.

Igor, you're wrong - Adventure is translated as "Adventure", and has no connection with
a text game. Another thing is that for the Spectrum, adventure games are usually text games. However, you wouldn't call President or
Dictator adventure games, would you? But they are purely textual.

AL>> you can call any quest.

There is an arcade, there is an adventure too, well, not a quest in my opinion.

Nope. I would recommend, since this matter was started in the ZX-Review magazine, to use their terminology. If it doesn't go to waste, I'll write an article from
it... There really is a lot... A whole printed sheet... ;( And the main genres are:

adventure
(Message from Andromeda, Kayleth, Apollo)
arcade
(Lode Runner, Saboteur)
arcade/adventure
(Dizzy, Seymour)
action
(Commando, Ikary)
traditionals
(Chess, Draught, Durak)
simulators
(Figther Bomber, Ocean Conqueor)
strategy
(Arnhem, Austerlitz, Waterloo)
busines/management
(Multy Player Soccer Manager, Rock Star)
puzzle
(Puzznik, Open It!)

According to the Review, this name came from the first text games on the first computers.

This is typical of the business/managment genre.

So “according to the Review”. ;))) My father told me that at the CC, when they were there, they played the text “Callah” (moreover, the output was done on a printer). And the first strategy/simulator - "Klingons" (aka "Starbase",
"Star Trek", ...) - was also text-based.

Good luck! Evgeny.

15 Sep 97. I’m sitting here, thinking about the vanity of all things, and suddenly I see Igor
Gruzdev peacefully talking with Ilya Fomin about Fast Foooooooooood:

IG> Of course. This is a typical arcade game. With a dash of puzzle (like a labyrinth in

Star Track, right? Of course, I remember very well :) But, by the way, parallel to it there was a large text adventure toy with an unlimited number of locations. Who
can guarantee that this is not a Russian remix of "Adventures"?

Warm greetings, Slava!

And Stellar Legacy looks very much like a quest :)

VM> Star Track, right? Why, I remember very well :)
Well, yes, there is one, although the one I played was called “Klingons”...

Nobody... :) All I'm saying is that it's probably not worth saying that adventures were the first text games - at that time almost everything was text (well, maybe sometimes they could use pseudo- or ASCII graphics).
