Notes

[1] Sequel to Paul Shirley's classic 8-bit isometric puzzler SPINDIZZY, which never saw an Amiga release.

[2] Distributed in France by Ubi Soft.


TRIVIA: The SPINDIZZY WORLDS game box artwork was designed by Steve Hopcroft, which was the result of a competition run in Amiga Format (Issue 14, Sep 90) [see HERE]. First prize included having the winning artwork appear on the game box of the final sales release plus receiving a Revel airbrush kit, t-shirt, mug, watch and a free copy of the game. Ten other prize winning entries from the competition also received a free copy of the game and had their artwork published in Amiga Format (Issue 18, Jan 91) [see HERE].

Conversion Notes

Based on 1990 Electric Dreams Atari ST release.
