Dizzy: The Dragon Traps

"Dizzy - The Dragon Trap" is an unofficial ZX Spectrum Dizzy fan game created in 1997 and set in the original Dragon Land universe.

The game features original graphics, dialogue, puzzles, room designs, and AY-chip music.

The game was created by two childhood friends, Dmytro Mosiychuk and Viktor Voloshuk, from Lutsk, Ukraine.

Throughout childhood, they were huge fans of both the ZX Spectrum and the Dizzy series.

Inspired by the games loved, they decided to create their own Dizzy adventure and place it in a fantasy world of their own called Dragon Land.

The game was completed in 1997 but was never publicly released.

By that time, the ZX Spectrum era was coming to an end and x86 PCs were becoming increasingly widespread.

They showed the finished game only to a few close friends and relatives, after which it remained stored on an old cassette for nearly thirty years.

In 2026, the cassette recording was successfully recovered, the game was reconstructed, and Dizzy The Dragon Trap became fully playable again.

This is therefore its first public release, almost three decades after it was originally completed.

The game was designed for a 48K ZX Spectrum fitted with an AY sound chip.

When using an emulator, AY sound should be enabled for the 48K model.

The game uses a Kempston joystick for controls.
