My first game ever and the very first one that i played , back in the day, on the almighty Sinclair ZX Spectrum 128k .
Bought it just for the nostalgy and it came with the 2 sequels. Great.
You guys from the late 70's and early 80's dont miss this jewel.
Kids from the 90's and so on dont even bother rating it.
You'll not understand the magic within.

I played this game with my dad a lot when I was 5. I was born in '88...

Dizzy.. sounds familiar that name..

I wore out the O key on mine though I remember managing to fix it somehow. Nearly every game I had used Q+A+O+P+Space, particularly the Dizzy games.

ZX Spectrum +2 definitely . I still have it but it misses the "q" and "a" key.. if u remember was the up and down for most of games.

Bitscreed, i had the Sinclair ZX Spectrum +2 128k, built in tape recorder

Aquanaut: Yeah mine had a separate tape recorder, but there was also a version of the 128k with a separate tape recorder that wasn't much bigger. Was yours a Spectrum +2 by any chance? That def had an inbuilt tape recorder and 128k of ram.

Wikipedia has pictures of all of them on its ZX Spectrum page. Mine was the ZX Spectrum+

Bitscreed; tape recorder was apart from keyboard unlike 128k right?

Aquanaut: The 48k was about half an inch shorter than the 128k lengthwise but otherwise looked the same, with the same plastic keyboard. You might be thinking of the 16k model with the rubber keys which was noticeably smaller.
