Made in the 90s, but never quite hatched
Way,wayback in the dark, unknown past of the 1980s, Codemasters published the Oliver Twins’ hit seriesDizzyfor platforms like the Sinclaire ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64, and Amstrad CPC.Starring a sentient egg who had to save his friends, the last properDizzygame to come out was in 1992… which was before I was even born. Yikes.
Well one day, the Oliver twins were rummaging through their loft when they found the design documents and files to a long lost and unreleased NES title calledWonderland Dizzy.Thanks to the series’ surprisingly active and passionate community, the Oliver twins and Codemasters were able to get the ROM running in a browser emulator.
Now, decades after it was made,Wonderland Dizzyhas finally been released for free. It’s considered to be the newest main seriesDizzygame and has had some tweaks including wider language support and an infinite lives mode to make things a bit easier.
You can watch the video talking more in-depth aboutWonderland Dizzy’sdiscovery up top, or you can go to the official website to play the game in your browser for freeon their website, which also fabulously looks like something from 1992.
