:0 I don't know why would they need to do that. Can you explain it to me, please?
I played Z when I was like 8 and I didn't know a single ounce of English.

Speedball 2 was legit and a new game could still work.
Chaos engine was alright, very polished and with some delicious pixel art but ultimately rather ordinary: no idea what the IP could add to a new game done in that style.
Some of the other titles they were famous for were greatly overrated, as was the case with many Amiga games with pretty graphics and lots of polish (hello Team 17!)

Z on Steam
“Z”, the classic Real Time Strategy Game by the Bitmap Brothers. Fans of this classic strategy title are in for a real treat. Everything is in here from the terrific comedy cut scenes to the frantic game play making this is the definitive version of Z.
Cadaver next, i hope!
lol I'll happily take people firing Amiga MOD music at me all day long.
Those were the days :)
Cadaver was brutally hard as I remember. I'd love a remake or remaster.
I'd love a collection of proper Amiga ports with a music player.
The version of Speedball 2 that was released on PS3 (was it a "Mini" or whatever they were called?) was awful.

but..it already exists.
I'm not going to post the gif, because I can't be arsed, but this genuinely gave me a sensible chuckle.
Well done.
They developed a remaster of Rogue Trooper not so long ago.
I remember reading this review and thinking the same thing! Cheers for the nostalgia bomb :)
I remember it doing a number on my teenage brain back in the day, but I think I got through it in the end. I'd love to play this on my Switch and/or PC again.
Oh, this. Another co-op action-adventure shooter with that style, please.
I am hoping that Rebellion would do their own remaster of Speedball 2, because the one we got wasn't really up to par. Which is a shame. And man, a new Z: Steel Soldiers with awesome graphics and the same amount of comedy would be great.
The Chaos Engine with the Unreal Engine, one can dream. ^_^
And V_Ben, I hope Rebellion does the Bitmap Brothers proud.

Because it's tainted by whatever it is that they did!
The only good versions of Gods are the ST and Amiga ones anyway, the MD/SNES ones were bad and I had issues with the « HD » remake
This game was my absolute fucking jam growing up, if this means it could make a reappearance I'm incredibly hyped.OMGGGGGG I LOVED Z!
Bring it back, please
x 1 million. Also a new entry could be the competition that Rocket League needs.
And Rogue Trooper, don't forget that!
(And there were a few internal experiments and demos that never quite got off the ground, would be interesting to see if they were ever revisited)
Make a collection and put it on the Switch.
Their Z may be the hardest game I ever played that isn´t a simulation and a grand strategy game.

that´s just a "version" of John Carpenters Assault on Precinct theme :D
Beat me to it. A while back I heard Dance With The Dead's remix of this and it was driving me fucking mental trying to remember where I'd heard it before because I know for a fact I've never seen the film.
On topic, The Bitmap Brothers were the first studio I can remember that had a very distinctive style. You could look at any one of their games and instantly know that it was a Bitmap Brothers creation.
Its a 2000AD game but not Dredd, also it was a remaster of a 12 year old game. Rebellion hasn't made a new 2000AD/Dredd game in over a decade which is such a waste as theres so much potential with the IP, can you imagine how great a deus ex style Dredd game would be? or even an open world style game with you going around mega city 1 hunting down perps.
If Rebellion cant make games for the IPs they already have I doubt they will do much with the Bitmap games other than remasters of the original games.
A Bitmap Bros collection would be awesome. I loved The Chaos Engine and Speedball 2 on the Amiga back in the day.
