Wonderland Dizzy announced at the "Let's Go Dizzy!" event that Chris Wilkins of Fusion Retro Books setup at The Centre for Computing History in Cambridge to announce the new Kickstarter campaign for The Story of the Oliver twins book.

Initially created by the Oliver Twins over two decades ago and feared lost it was found amongst numerous archived materials the Twins have collected through the game creating years as seen on twitter in pic they post some months back.

After checking the files they discover only the source code and graphics were on the disk, not in a position to compile the data they approached Jason Fitzpatrick at The Centre for Computing History in Cambridge and Andrew Joseph of Yolkfolk.com to see if they could help, it turns out Andrew knew a someone in Poland, Łukasz Kur. Lukasz agreed to help and in just a few days turned the code and graphics files into a working ROM image. Sadly the game was buggy and clearly needed work before any release could happen. After further talks between the Olivier Twins and Lukasz things progressed after Lukasz agreed to fix the bugs and add a fun mode with infinite lives as gamer's these days just aren't used to games being to hard lol. 

As time progressed the guys eventually created a website and created a embedded browser version of the game we can all enjoy and now enhanced to enable you to be able to complete the game and enjoy a piece of history.

So now you can play it HERE
