Slightly Magic

Seconding the Dizzy recommendation: Codemasters banged these action-adventures out by the dozen, and they're all surprisingly good despite being formulaic. Once you've played through all the Dizzy games, there are all the Seymour games too.

There's even a Slightly Magic re-spin on Steam!

To get the full Codemasters experience, you've got to load from tape, 'cos that's how they were sold:

The games that started this whole budget genre was probably David Jones's "Finders Keepers" for Mastertronic.
