The Bitmap Brothers Collection 1
SCORE: 70
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.
