What is your favourite Bitmap Brothers game?
northway Tough one this – I am torn between Cadaver and Gods. If Gods had been a bit smoother then I would have picked it (perhaps the Genesis version is worth trying?), but I think Cadaver wins out for advancing the isometric genre visually and not being run-off-the-mill. flatapex Speedball 2, because put simply it’s an absolute scream to play. lavalyte Cadaver by a long shot. I was obsessed with it enough to map it out and write up a game solution, which is still kicking about the internet 20 years later. antsbull The Chaos Engine was my favorite. They put a lot of attention into supporting the PC back then, and their games were almost peerless on that platform. ncf1 Speedball 2, it is genius. My go-to Amiga game. 16-bit perfection. Just about flawless in every way. Any more superlatives and you will need more pages to fit them in. mrmessy You can keep your ice creams, I prefer to activate my nodes - it’s The Chaos Engine. ely has to be Speedball 2. Sounded great, looked great and played great, a true classic of the era and the sports genre. Postiedoc Speedball 2 on the Amiga, one of the best two-player games of all time. sirclive1 Speedball 2 - it’s not only the best Bitmap Brothers game, it’s the best sports game of all time.
