Digital Honours

The founders of video game producer Codemasters are amongst those recieving in the Queen's Birthday honours list according to this article.
One of the games mentioned in the article is "Treasure Island Dizzy" which was part of a series of games I used to enjoy playing involving an egg trying to save his girlfriend Daisy and involved several characters such as Dylan, a hippy egg, Dora who was Dizzy's sister and Denzil who was a slightly cooler looking egg with sunglasses.

It's disapointing however as the game was created by the Oliver Twins but they don't really get any credit in the article and they ended up not being to produce any more games as Codemasters held the rights to the Dizzy characters and decided to abandon them around 15 years ago.

There is a fansite that contains a series of unofficial games made by fans of the egg, and I've got a few of the older ones on a my emulators which I may get round to playing later on in the summer when there's barely anything else worth doing.
