The Bitmap Brothers Collection 1 

 

I am very thankful I had the money to purchase a copy of The Bitmap Brothers Collection 1 on the Evercade family of systems. There are only five games on the The Bitmap Brothers Collection 1 cartridge. I did not remember the guys behind these games. Supposedly according to the manual they were rock stars in the video game industry. I remember one of the Speedball video games and not fondly. Compared to a lot of other Evercade cartridges The Bitmap Brothers Collection 1 is lacking in my opinion.

The eight bit, sixteen bit, and thirty-two bit games on the The Bitmap Brothers Collection 1 cartridge are Speedball, Xenon 2 Megablast, Speedball 2 Brutal Deluxe, The Chaos Engine, and Speedball 2100. Two shooters and then three Speedball video games. The Chaos Engine is a guy running around and shooting the enemies he runs into in the top down viewpoint. Xenon 2 Megablast is a space shooter. Speedball games are sort of like soccer with a lot of violent content. We smash into other characters to take them out and make them drop the ball.

The difficulty of these games is up there, especially the Speedball video games. This is one of the reasons I was not into Speedball back in the day. I like games that do not completely decimate me while I play them. It is nice to get some easy wins here and there while playing a video game. Power ups spawn and can turn the tide of a match on the The Bitmap Brothers Collection 1 cartridge.

I wish the first Xenon video game had been included on the The Bitmap Brothers Collection 1 cartridge. I was not familiar with this series so it would have been neat to get a bit more background. Plus why give us the second one before the first one on the Evercade? We freely give these ideas and opinions that would help Blaze Entertainment improve their Evercade game selection. They are an UK company and they are promoting some UK game developers with The Bitmap Brothers Collection 1.

The Bitmap Brothers Collection 1 is a meh collection with a few cool elements. If you really like Speedball then The Bitmap Brothers Collection 1 is for you.
