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

    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.
