Fast Food (informally known as Fast Food Dizzy) is an arcade style video game much in the design of Pac-Man featuring the video game character, Dizzy the anthropomorphic egg designed by the British born Oliver twins. The game was originally released in December, 1987 and published by Codemasters.
This was the third game to feature Dizzy, however until now they had been Adventure games, because of the simplicity to design Arcade style video games, the game was playable within three days of work and only required two more weeks to finalise all graphics, interface and music.
The game was originally to be a marketing tool for the Happy Eater chain of restaurants, but this was dropped during development and Dizzy was added to the game.
A shortened, altered version of the game, entitled Easter Eggstravaganza Dizzy was made available on Amiga Action coverdiscs in April 1998. Completion of this game would give players a code which would allow them to enter a competition in the magazine.
Famous quotes containing the words fast, food and/or video:
“I don’t go that fast in practice, because I need the excitement of the race, the adrenalin. The others might train more and be in better shape, but when I’m racing, I put winning before everything else. I don’t stop until the world gets gray and fuzzy around the edges.”
—Candi Clark (b. c. 1950)
“Would mankind be but contented without the continual use of that little but significant pronoun “mine” or “my own,” with what luxurious delight might they revel in the property of others!... But if envy makes me sicken at the sight of everything that is excellent out of my own possession, then will the sweetest food be sharp as vinegar, and every beauty will in my depraved eyes appear as deformity.”
—Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
“I recently learned something quite interesting about video games. Many young people have developed incredible hand, eye, and brain coordination in playing these games. The air force believes these kids will be our outstanding pilots should they fly our jets.”
—Ronald Reagan (b. 1911)
