It's a Windows(Wine compatible) port based entirely on the DOS version.
Magicland Dizzy is a 1993 platform adventure from Codemasters. You guide Dizzy the egg through Magicland, solving puzzles, collecting items
and diamonds, and freeing your friends from the evil wizard Zaks. This is a reconstruction of the original DOS game for Windows, with the
original DOS graphics and AdLib music built into the program. It needs no extra files and no installation.

F3 loads once a game is running.
Neither key shows any message.
