Crystal Kingdom Dizzy 2025 - Long awaited Dizzy redux arrives on the ZX Spectrum 128k!

Dizzy fans it's time to really celebrate Dizzy in a really big way, as a very special Dizzy redux of ' Crystal Kingdom Dizzy ' on the ZX Spectrum, has only moments ago just appeared in our news feed. The original CKD was first released in 1992 on a multitude of systems in a completely different graphical pallet than we were used to and some say worse than most of the other 8-bit Dizzy games of the time. But now that is all about to change, as this ZX Spectrum version looks to be the best 8-bit styled version yet!


This release took us completely by surprise, as if we've known about the development earlier, I think this would've been the most eagerly awaited of upcoming Dizzy games on a retro system yet! Developed over what feels like several years, this latest remake features an optimal version of the engine, based on Wonderful Dizzy's developments, updated graphical content of locations, updated plot details, based on old letters of Philip Oliver to Codemasters, colorful animation of characters and objects from Jarrod Bentley (the author of the original Crystal Kingdom Dizzy graphics) and so much more!

What an amazing Easter gift for all Dizzy gamers and retro gamers alike, so head on over to the download page and check it out on your ZX Spectrum 128k!

    My best friend loved Dizzy. He died 23 years ago. He was only 22! He would have loved to see this and all the other new Dizzy games!

      My heartfelt condolences, even after so many years... and I understand. Several of my best friends are now gone. They would have loved what I could show them in this year.

      Think of it as a new remaster of a remake that was released in 2017. Basically an awesome remake, that's even better as a redux :D

    Look great!

    Such a shame that the official Dizzy 3D Kickstarter didn't reach its goal.
