These links contains all the setup files for the game, in compressed ("zipped") state. Follow these instructions to set up the game:

1: Create a new folder on your c:\ drive (call it whatever you like).

2: Click on each of the above links to download the setup files. After a few seconds of downloading, you will be given a screen with the option to extract some of the necessary files to a folder on your computer. Using the "Extract to" setting, select the new folder that you have created, and click on the "Extract" button. Make sure that all the files contained in the above links are transferred to the new folder.

You should now have a single folder, containing the following:

3: When you have this complete folder, double-click on the monitor-shaped icon labelled "Setup".

4: Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup. The game folder ("Dizzygame") will be created in your c:\program files directory. A shortcut option "Dizzy" will be made in your windows Start menu, under "Programs", to instantly start the game. Alternatively, go to the c:\program files\dizzygame folder in Explorer, and double-click on the icon "Dizzy in the Pits".

Sound and Music

When you have unzipped this folder ("Dizzygames") be sure to put it in the actual c: drive directory (i.e. not into any another folder) and to keep its original name, or nothing will happen! This should enable game sound. Sorry that it's so crude, but I am rather a beginner with Visual Basic. Hope you enjoy playing.

If you have any questions or feedback, please feel welcome to email me. Although I would like to make more of these games, I first need to know whether or not anyone is likely to bother downloading them.
