My dream job Interview at the Bitmap Brothers
[ Show youtube player ]
In the Summer of 1994 an unbelievable opportunity fell into my lap. I spotted an advert in a games magazine. The Bitmap Brothers were looking for a new member of their team. Bizarrely, I had EXACTLY the qualifications they were looking for. Join me, as I retrace my steps, from 30 years ago, when I headed along a road in Wapping, East London, knowing that if I played my cards right, I might work at my dream job, at my favourite game developer, the legendary Bitmap Brothers. |

Bitmaps really were special. They remind me of my 8-bit favourite - Durell Software - and Core later, in that they were always trying something new and yet being able to consistently deliver hit games.
So yes, you were lucky to be able to ge....oh, ok ![]() Also, I didn't realize that Z had destructible terrain. Pretty cool! I only played it briefly on a PC back then...so it's another one for the replay backlog. |
