Remembering One of the Greats in The Bitmap Brothers: Universe

Marcus Estrada writes: "Although many modern games are likely unaware of the name, The Bitmap Brothers were effectively iconic game developers from the late 80s to early 90s. Their library of titles was vast, spanning from Speedball to Gods to The Chaos Engine. Each title featured gorgeous pixel art, enticing gameplay, and somehow just stood out against the zillions of other games vying for attention on computers. Today their legacy lives on in large part to re-releases of their most famous games on GOG, Steam, and mobile phones. But to a generation of gamers, The Bitmap Brothers were of immense importance. As such, Read-Only Memory have decided to publish The Bitmap Brothers: Universe."

After watching the making of: https://youtu.be/Zir-oFQT4I... I'd love to see them do a Robocop game.

Robocop vs the Terminator remake.

Nexon can make a AA version and they have made a Terminator and Robocop game

Back in the day the T2 Arcade cabinets would say no way José if you pressed a button without putting in quarters. Much to my delight as a kid. 😆

Brilliant. Love it & day one for me.

This looks so much fun, after Terminator Resistance as well it’s good to see that in games, unlike movies, the Terminator license is still producing quality

I’m definitely interested in this. Back in the day you could guarantee if it was by Bitmap Brothers or Bullfrog it was going to be an awesome game.

Speedball 2 on the gameboy was addicting!

Rebellion have snapped up a load of studios in the last few years. I'm guessing they are trying to become a big publisher. Just wondering how they have the money because I can't remember them doing much since AvP!

Good to see The Bitmap Brothers name continuing though.
