you can download all the dizzy games and robin hood here:

http://www.yolkfolk.com/games/official
The site is linked from olivertwins.com so they seem to have permission

Actually we can download them from Spectrum Computing as well ;)

It was a great, big news a month or two ago when the brothers allowed officially their games for free download.

Just to clarify, rather than give explicit permission, the Oliver twins told us they had no objections. It's complicated....

It's always complicated with copyrights ;)

Correct me if I'm wrong but the thing that happened recently is the twins getting full right for their games.

They always had no objections but the games belonged to Code Masters, the publisher. And Code Masters which still exists denied
free distribution of their games.

Remember, Oliver Twins <> Code Masters ;)

I downloaded magicland dizzy from the fansite.

Magicland and subsequent Dizzy games weren't written by the Oliver Twins.
