Vice: As someone whose pre-console gaming years were largely spent in the company of an Amiga 500 – the hunky grey box finally replaced a hand-me-down Spectrum that my uncle had given us – this got me thinking, hard, about my own favourites for the system. In our house, we weren't shy about piracy, which I can't say I'm proud about (though we all did it), but it was an attitude that saw my brothers and I accumulate an impressive library of Amiga software, which soon took over drawers once used to store arts and crafts materials, Transformers toys and socks.
We must have had hundreds of games, ranks of once-blank discs now loaded with excitement, and it feels, today, that I spent thousands of hours in front of Sensible World of Soccer. I probably did. But when I wasn't trying to lure Alessandro Del Piero to see out his career in the South African Premier Soccer League, I was consistently drawn to the output of just one East London studio: The Bitmap Brothers.

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. 😆
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

From GameWatcher: "Publisher Rebellion today announced the acquisition of The Bitmap Brothers' brand and its portfolio. Going forward, the studio aims to "bring classic The Bitmap Brothers games to new platforms, and [...] create new titles based on its beloved licenses."
The Bitmap Brothers is known for creating quite a few great games during the late 80s and early 90s, including names like The Chaos Engine, Xenon, and Speedball.
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.
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.
