Oliver Twins

The Oliver Twins are two British brothers, Philip and Andrew Oliver, who started to develop computer games professionally while they were still at school. In 1991, at the age of 22, they started their own computer games company, Interactive Studios (now Blitz Games). They are most well known for the Dizzy series of computer games.

Apart from their own games, they were also responsible for porting a number of other prominent games to the Sega platforms, including Theme Park and Syndicate.
