Not sure how long titles take to appear on the database, but this came out a week or so ago and isn't on there yet:

Magicland Dizzy Classic+ Edition


Also, this version of Moon Ranger isn't listed and I did the music :D

Thanks Lee,

This would probably count as a mod, rather than a new title. We also can't provide downloads to most Codemasters titles or mods. I will ask @pavero as to how he wants to deal with it.

Just to let you know that you can upload new titles and modifications via the Preservation Forms. This really helps the team out.

I'll handle it the same way as Fantasy World Dizzy Classic Edition. In this case files will be distribution denied just like the original.

Just done Fair Shares. @pavero should I do the rest? (making sure to avoid duplication)

Yes, please. I only processed Magicland Dizzy.

Others also do gameplay, OP. No need to get all your eggs from the same basket. I hadn't tried this puzzle since I was a kid, but it would've been more enjoyable back in the day than E.T. on the 2600 :D

Inclusion of Next titles on this board would also be welcome.

Well, I mentioned it because these 'mods' are already in the database so to me it seemed logical to include that also:
Dizzy Extended Edition 2021
Treasure Island Dizzy - Extended Edition 2023
Treasure Island Dizzy - Classic_Edition 2023
Fantasy World Dizzy - Extended Edition 2023

It all depends on how different they are to the original @Lee Bee. Each title is checked to see if it deserves a new entry.

OK well that's up to you guys to decide, then. FYI this version of Magicland Dizzy has new extra music, plus "An Easter egg was added, as well as something else". This kind of modification might be painful to classify as it sits on the border between a hack, and new content.
