First off, my deepest apologies for being late posting this on here.

Anyway, after 3 and a half years in development, "Wonderful Dizzy" is now available on its own website.


:egg: https://yolkfolk.com/wonderful-dizzy/

It can be played Online or available to download as a Sprectrum ROM (.tap).

Dizzy and Pogie rushed for shelter in their house as a fierce wind approached.
The wind whirled around their house ripping it from the ground and taking them soaring up into the heart of the cyclone!​

They awoke when the house came crashing down with a bump and a scream!
Opening the door they discovered they were in a new and magical land called Oz.
A land ruled over by four witches – the good witches of the North and South and the wicked witches of the East and West.
Only, now Dizzy appears to have killed the Wicked Witch of the East making the Wicked Witch of the West furious and in a rage she snatches Pogie and disappears in a puff of smoke!

​Dizzy must rescue Pogie and find a way home and the answers appear to lie with the Wonderful Wizard of Oz in the Emerald City.
Along the way, Dizzy meets a brainless Scarecrow, a heartless Tin Woodman and a Cowardly Lion and many other characters who all need his help, many of whom seem oddly familiar.

This is a new adventure designed 100% by The Oliver Twins and inspired by the classic book – The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.

I can't believe it!!!

I've been waiting 25 years for this and it's already over?!?!

  :wall:

I hope there's one more ORIGINAL-OFFICIAL Dizzy in the near future...

I mean, numerologists (and several religions) say 9 is the perfect number. The evolution of all the others. Beside, it's a trilogy of trilogies. It makes perfect sense!!! Even StarWars have 9 movies!!!

Come on OliverTwins, "uno más"? Even if it's a small one...

(and no, Dizzy 3.5 doesn't count!!! Ahahah)

Now, rants apart, GREAT GAME! GREAT VISUALS!
(I would probably leave the hat off... But, on the other side, it's not that bad. Music, however, could be a bit better...)

All in all: GREAT GAME!!!

Thanks to all involved!!!

Now, what's Dizzy 9 release date again?

Much as I love to see more, that maybe a huge problem.
The Olivers confirmed on a recent interview with 'The Retro Hour' that its now fairly unlikely.

The twins went through some complicated negotiations with Codemasters before Wonderful Dizzy got the go ahead.
And very soon that's likely to become even more complicated for them since Codemasters is being sold to EA.

Still, we're not going anywhere and I'm sure the series will live on through the fan games. :smile:

On an entirely different note, surely 42 is the perfect number  {yolkfolk}:rofl:

codemasters should bugger off and give Dizzy back the the twins.
I'm waiting for the c64 port so i don't have to deal with colour clash. :tongue:

You're still going around with that problem with the site, huh?! What a PITA that is........

Let's agree to disagree.

No. 42 is not the perfect number!!!

42 is THE answer!!!

As when you ask:
"How many more Official Dizzy's are going to be made by the Twins in the next 10 years?"
The answer is no other than: "42!"

ahahaha
