Background After the failure of the Aladdin Deck Enhancer, Camerica was forced to close down, and Codemasters was in financial trouble. As a result many staff left the Oliver twin's software company, Interactive Studios and was unable to find replacements. Dizzy The Adventurer was freely bundled with the Aladdin, and three other titles were being developed for it; Dreamworld Pogie, Go! Dizzy Go! and Wonderland Dizzy, however after the Aladdin was abandoned, the Oliver twins to bring in some revenue quickly intended to release all four (when completed) on the Sega Master System and Sega Game Gear. However, Codemasters wasn’t comfortable releasing each as a full priced stand alone title, so forced the twins to combine them into a compilation, however only three could fit. The twins abandoned the non Dizzy oriented game, Dreamworld Pogie and intended to release the action game Go! Dizzy Go! and the two adventure games Wonderland Dizzy and Dizzy The Adventurer. However Codemasters marketing team informed the twins they couldn’t release two adventure games on the one compilation. The twins felt the previously released Dizzy The Adventurer, was the stronger title and conveniently didn’t require any further work on it, and as a replacement for Wonderland Dizzy the twins included the previously released Panic Dizzy. The Aladdin Deck Enhancer, produced by Camerica, was a device that one would plug into a Nintendo Entertainment System. ...
