 Gamasutra - Playing Catch Up: Blitz Games' Philip and Andrew Oliver
The twins walked away with a Commodore monitor for their troubles, which they note is still in use in their offices today.
Philip suggests that the main problem faced by the twins at that point in time was in terms of graphical ability, noting that “thankfully, the computers were as poor at graphics as we were”.
Nonetheless, the Oliver Twins were soon billed in the press as the British gaming scene’s “whiz kids”, which positioned them well to begin work on their next game — a new IP that would target “8-12 year olds with a cute ‘cartoony’” image.

 The Excellent Dizzy Collection - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
As a result many staff left the Oliver twins' software company, Interactive Studios, who were unable to find replacements.
The twins felt the previously released Dizzy The Adventurer, was the stronger title and conveniently didn’t require any further work on it, and as a replacement for Wonderland Dizzy the twins included the previously released Panic Dizzy.
After The Excellent Dizzy Collection was released, the Oliver twins left Codemasters for another publisher and with the intellectual property split between Codemasters and the Oliver twins no more Dizzy games were ever produced, although both companies have since said they would like to revisit the series.

 T.A.C.G.R. - Fantasy World Dizzy (Dizzy 3)
The Oliver Twins had big boots to fill as far as our eggheaded hero was concerned, a sequel the previous year would have been enough so how were they going to get away with a third one so soon.
It's not very often that we get a sequel that stays faithful to the original but this happens to be the third in the series and it's still retaining it's charm and other elements that it was noted for in the original.
Combine this with the fact that there is just so much to do, It's plain to see that Codemasters, alongside the Oliver twins have realised that they are on to a winning formula and they have managed to stick with it and even managed to improve it.

 Bright Lights Film Journal | Stan Laurel, Eternal Child   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Certainly, Arthur Stanley Jefferson, born under the sign of the twins, and Oliver Norvell Hardy were one of the extraordinary examples of symbiosis and perfect assimilation of two bodies of quite different specific weight into a single atomic nucleus of the highest powers.
But this is no reason to confuse their respective identities nor to hinder recognizing Laurel as the leader in the pair's artistic and professional adventures.
His immediate rapport with Oliver — both were no longer young, Stan being 37 and Oliver 35 — freed up the energy he'd repressed in 15 apprentice years with Karno, Sennett, and Roach, all under the shadow of Chaplin, Larry Semon, and Harold Lloyd.
