Royal Mail is putting Dizzy, Lemmings, and Elite on stamps
Post capitalism.
Royal Mail has announced a set of stamps which feature classic British-designed gaming icons - including Lara Croft, Lemmings and Dizzy the egg.
The 12 stamps include four featuring Tomb Raider, originally created by the Derby-based Core Design.
Eight more feature one game each: Elite, Dizzy, Populous, Lemmings, Micro Machines, Sensible Soccer, Wipeout, and Worms.
