Bitmap Bros Games 'Look-a-likes'?
 

The Bitmaps have made some pretty unique games but what games do you think are similar in either looks or gameplay to classic Bitmap Brother titles?

Some examples of the type of thing Im looking for are

Cadaver - Darkmere

Chaos Engine - Alien Breed

You get the idea :)

Please post your suggestions and maybe give a short description of why you think they are similar.

Didn't alien breed come first?

Yeah by a couple of years, I always thought Future Basketball had a Speedball kind of look to it (but not done as well)

Doesnt matter. This isnt about 'who has copied the Bitmaps' its about 'if you like this game then you might like this game'.

Sorry when you said look-a-likes I took that literally and was thinking of games that looked like bros games LOL

Superfrog -- Any of 3 million other platformers :O

That IS what I meant but whether they came out before or after doesnt matter.

It also means games that play a like too :)

e.g

Cadaver - Knightlore - Darkmere

Gods - Deep Core

Syndicate - Cannon Fodder

Speedball II - Empire Soccer '94 - Brutal Sports Football

You need at least ONE Bitmap Brothers game though. Superfrog isn't.

And they copied themself almost: Gods - Magic Pockets

Chaos Engine 1 - Banshee
Despite being different type of games, both share a similar graphics style.

Id forgot about this one.

Great stuff guys. Keep em coming :)

yes this is true...

so er..

Bullfrog -- Sensible Software :cheese

Oops, didn't think quite clearly there :p

Gods and Deliverance have always felt very similar to me

On the subject of what looks alike, I always thought that the graphics style in Simon the sorcerer looked a lot like the style of Magic pockets. Not that the characters were big and round, but the way that even though they were (compared to today's standards) fairly low res figures they still managed to somehow look blocky and great at the same time.. Guess that doesn't make sense.

Playing Robin hood legend quest sort of reminded me of a bad version of Gods though...yeah I've been known to make very loose associations noone else can follow.

Gods - Atlantyda (or something)

Gods and Super Robin Hood - obviously "influenced"

Yup, to me too.

Did you mean Robin Hood Legend Quest?

Otherwise:

gods/magic pockets - robin hood legend quest

gods - deep core
