Interesting...

I played the original Dizzy game on Nintendo. Doesn't change the fact this is spam.

[xelanoimis]

sorry for spamming, just wanted to mention it somewhere, and I thought the chat forum would be ok.

Yahtzee from Escapist might be intrested in knowing abnout this... I know he mentions or references the original NES game a lot. lol

[xChri5x]

I remember the original Dizzy was a pain in the ass because it wouldn't let you save. Had to leave it on overnight a few times to beat it.

A bit too old-fashioned, I think : awkward jumping with no mid-air control, very limited inventory... Then there are the blatant English mistakes ('fishes') and a barrel used as a door.

Thanks for noticing the 'fishes' mistake, though my English Oxford Dictionary (and Collins too) says "fishes" is also accepted - probably in other situations.
If you're willing to help with more mistakes, let me know, and I can send you the full game's texts in a txt file.

Well I'm not from an English-speaking country, so I wouldn't know, but I was always taught that it's "fish" and never encountered "fishes". Plus, I was just nitpicking there.
Anyway, I played it a bit, but got quickly frustrated (I'm more of a SNES, borderline-NES generation person).
'old school' fanatics would love this, though.

If it's one type of fish - like a school of tuna, then the plural is fish.

If there's a group of lots of different fish species, then you can refer to them as fishes.

At least, that's the version I know :) A school of fish, several schools of different fishes.

...fish is also what you eat. you don't eat fishes.

Caw... Dizzy brings back memories :)
