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:
“Fast bind, fast find,
A proverb never stale in thrifty mind.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Life is a thin narrowness of taken-for-granted, a plank over a canyon in a fog. There is something under our feet, the taken-for-granted. A table is a table, food is food, we are we—because we don’t question these things. And science is the enemy because it is the questioner. Faith saves our souls alive by giving us a universe of the taken-for-granted.”
—Rose Wilder Lane (1886–1968)
“We attempt to remember our collective American childhood, the way it was, but what we often remember is a combination of real past, pieces reshaped by bitterness and love, and, of course, the video past—the portrayals of family life on such television programs as “Leave it to Beaver” and “Father Knows Best” and all the rest.”
—Richard Louv (20th century)
