Bitmap Brothers style games? - Page 2

I absolutely adore the audio-visual style of the bitmaps. Alas i am sad it is quite unique, i would like to see more. Some games have a similar vibe, but not nearly close enough.

Wish they had made more games to be honest

Couldn't agree more!

It has got a look of the first Speedball about it.

This arcade by Ecogames from Spain. Starts looking like an Alien Breed rip-off and continues looking like a Chaos Engine clone.

Wow, that's like Alien Breed crossed with Gauntlet, on steroids. The video alone drives me nuts.

Maybe Final Odyssey... The visual style always reminded me of Chaos Engine, but being puzzle/exploration oriented, the game play feels more like in Gods than in any of these rough action shooters (although it has some action too

).

Yeah. It's a lot more cartoony than Chaos Engine, but it definitely looks influenced by it.

The first thing that popped into my head when I saw that was Doodlebug to be honest.

It is for this reason I would have said Cybernoid II and Stormlord have certain Bitmaps look about them....
