The new video shows the classic cartoon eggventurer exploring the magical kingdom of Keldor in this faithful remake of Dizzy: Prince of the Yolkfolk. Our hard boiled hero is shown in eggsplosive action as he helps lions, eggs-changes items with the Grim Reaper and, crucially, scares Rockwart the Troll. Using his trademark jumps and tumbles, Dizzy displays eggstraordinary agility as he vaults his way through tree tops, crosses the river Styx and rides platforms through a castle. To help him on his scramble to save the Yolkfolk and rescue his girlfriend Daisy, Dizzy can collect and use items – from matches to axes and buckets of water. It’s all in a day’s work for the fry-hard hero. The iOS and Android editions of Dizzy: Prince of the Yolk are being developed by DNA Interactive, with Paul Ranson, the game’s original project director, heading development. Simple touch screen controls, HD graphics, revamped retro score and classic gameplay will combine to send egg-static fans oeuf-er the moon.    Dizzy: Prince of the Yolk will be published by Codemasters on “Egg-mergence Day”, Friday 9th December and will be available from the App Store for iPad and iPhone and from Android Market for Android phones and tablets. For the latest on the game visit www.DizzyGame.com. The new edition of the game will not, unfortunately, be available for Laystation. NOTES The original Dizzy: Prince of the Yolkfolk story (reproduced off the back of a dusty old cassette inlay): Grand Dizzy was feeling very down one day, so Dizzy and Daisy decided to cheer him up by baking him his favourite food, cherry pie. So off went Daisy to get some cherries from her cupboard but there were none to be seen.  "Pogie’s pinched the cherries!" she cried, as she saw Pogie's pawprint in the cupboard, "That darned fluffle. Come here you!" and Pogie promptly darted off into the enchanted forest to escape Daisy's rage. Dizzy and Daisy headed into the forest to catch Pogie (and replenish their supply of cherries at the same time). However, while searching for Pogie they got lost and found a castle, where they thought they would find help, but it seemed deserted. They looked in the castle for Pogie, but Daisy caught herself on a mystic spinning wheel. She started feeling really sleepy, so she found a bed and went to sleep. "Wake up Daisy, wake up!" shouted Dizzy. But before he could wake her up, Rockwart the troll caught him and locked him up underground...
