The egg is back, and this time he's on budget. Spellbound Dizzy comes to a screen near you at the bargain price of 3.99. The hard-boiled one wiggles his arms through another adventurey-style platform thingy. The story behind this one really doesn't matter a jot, but I'm going to tell you anyway.

Our little eggy pal has been visiting the local wizard and accidentally on purpose read out loud a mega-dangerous spell. The spell he mistakenly cast spirited all his little ellipsoidal pals into the underworld.

The aim of this one is to collect all the stars lying around the place and pick up various special objects, in order to save all the eggs that have been transported. The major thing to note about this budget release is that it's an enhanced version of the original. It's much bigger for one thing, so the maps and tips that were printed in issue 20 won't help you very much.

Spellbound Dizzy is on a par with most of the other Dizzy games - standard graphics, girly-type cuteness, average gameplay and a few quite clever puzzles dotted about here and there. It's nothing to get eggstatic about [We pay you for new jokes, Frames! - Ed] but if you're a Dizzy fan (and there are enough of you out there to make the Dizzy series gobsmackingly successful!), it's quite a barg considering the increased size.

Decidedly more tedious than having a conversation about preserving the rainforests with an overripe banana.
