This isn't a large game by Dizzy standards but it is a jolly romp through the old kingdom. As usual something nasty and evil, in this case a troll, has disturbed the peace and serenity of Yolk Folk land and it's up to Diz to get rid of the meanie and save the princess. The puzzles are of the usual standard and difficulty, and there's a magic carpet to be ridden. I really am running out of things to say about Dizzy games, they're so well known and so similar that it's quite difficult to rate one above another. I'm sure diehard Dizzy fans have their fave adventures, but I'm fairly indiscriminate when it comes to this egg. Despite the shorter length, I was quite taken by Prince of the Yolk Folk when it first appeared and nothing's happened since then to make me change my mind. An all-round good egg, but nothing amazing.","ReviewerComments":[],"OverallSummary":"","Page":"44","Denied":false,"Award":"Not Awarded","Reviewers":[{"Name":"Linda Barker","Score":"71","ScoreSuffix":"%"}],"ScreenshotText":[{"Text":"Dizzy tried to remember where he'd left his whip.

Dizzy's environmentally conscious, subscribes to peace on Earth and he's been recycled more times than the average milk bottle. What a guy.\r\n\r\nBoing, boing it's time to bounce around egg world again collecting things, solving problems and avoiding trolls. But most importantly of all you've got to rescue Diz's one and only true love, Daisy who's been trapped under a sleeping spell by evil Rockwart the Troll and currently lies in an enchanted castle doing Sleeping Beauty impressions.\r\n\r\nIt all started off one day when their mischievous pet Pogie stole a half ton of cherries which Dizzy and Daisy were going to use to make a Twin Peaks pie for Grand Dizzy. They chased him out into the forest to recover them - and pick up a few more into the bargain but got hopelessly lost in the enchanted castle.\r\n\r\nGuide Dizzy around forest, castle and clouds collecting cherries, snippets of conversation and all manner of useful implements sort the whole mess out. You also get to meet or help out other characters like Dylan (of all people) King Arthur and his famous sword Excalibur and a noble lion who has also fallen prey to Rockwart's evil scheming.\r\n\r\nAs usual the presentation of this game is magnificent. Graphics are funny and colourful and recognising then picking up, using or dropping objects is easy. Unfortunately control is somewhat difficult due to Dizzy's propensity to roll around a lot, while the distance between clouds and trees and other objects only Dizzy (and a few other Code Masters stalwarts) can walk on, or through, can mean getting around sometimes takes a lot of work.\r\n\r\nHowever Dizzy Prince Of The Yolkfolk has lots of playability and lastability so you'll never get bored - just a little frustrated perhaps. A special mention must go to the soundtrack. It's really atmospheric and medieval and fits the bill perfectly. Unless you already have it on compilation Prince Of The Yolkfolk is well worth getting, whether you're new to these eggy adventure games or a hard boiled fan already.","ReviewerComments":["Well well more Dizzy fun and problem solving. Every time I see a new Dizzy game I moan and groan about it, 'cos there are just so many. However once I start playing I always get really into it and end up enjoying the game. It can't be helped. Prince Of The Yolkfolk is darn good fun.\r\nEd Lawrence"],"OverallSummary":"This instalment in the Dizzy series was first launched as part of the Dizzy's Excellent Adventure package last Christmas. It was the best game on it and I would suggest getting your hands on it right now if you fancy a classic bit of Dizzy japes and haven't already got it on the compilation.","Page":"21","Denied":false,"Award":"Sinclair User Silver","Reviewers":[{"Name":"Alan Dykes","Score":"88","ScoreSuffix":"%"},{"Name":"Ed Lawrence","Score":"","ScoreSuffix":""}],"ScreenshotText":[{"Text":"Dizzy gets hopping mad."},{"Text":"Proverbial lion with a thorn in his foot.
