Dreamworld Pogie
Originally designed by the Oliver Twins to be released on the NES, it lay hidden for two decades until it was rediscovered; and eventually released.
This version, programmed by Lyndon J Sharp, brings all the goodies the ZX Spectrum Next has to offer, extra colours, super smooth scrolling and fantastic audio.
This fantastic platformer will see you guide Dizzy’s pet fluffle Pogie or his good friend Rosie through 15 levels of pure sugary dreamworld!

Originally designed by The Oliver Twins, Pogie in Dreamworld was to be released on the NES on late 1992 - early 1993. Unfortunately as Andrew and Philip eventually left Codemasters plans to release it as well as adapt it to other platforms were abandoned. Now, thirty years later it comes to your ZX Spectrum Next in glorious colour, updated graphics and sound!
Join Dizzy's pet fluffle Pogie and his friend Rosie in a frantic action platformer taking place in Pogie's dream! 15 action-packed levels await you; escape the spiked armadillos, the mean insect helicopters and gather as many coins and stars as you can in order to finish every level! Touch the dinosaur eggs in order to not lose your progress completely when you get caught!
Don't forget to ride the bubbles and jump on the muchrooms and never, ever let Pogie or Rosie get bored by doing nothing - they get quite annoyed!
Try to find the magic fizzola; a devilish-looking head that makes Rosie and Pogie all powerful and invincible... sadly for a little while only!
Avoid all obstactles that come in your way; after all Pogie sleeps only during the night; come day he wakes up and the dream game is over!
