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. |

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

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

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. |
