As a dyed in the wool Amiga lover, news of a second collection of games from the “rock stars” of 16-bit gaming for Evercade is good news.
(While I still own an Evercade, at least…) The Bitmap Brothers Collection 2 has been announced this week, and features the following games:
- Cadaver (1990 game plus the 1991 expansion pack, Cadaver: The Payoff)
- Gods (1991)
- Magic Pockets (1991)
- The Chaos Engine 2 (1996)
- Z (1996)
The Amiga logo indicates that all but Z are Amiga versions. As Z was not released on Amiga CD32 (it is a 32-bit title) we assume it is the PlayStation version (it was also released on SEGA Saturn, Mac, and DOS).
Here’s the trailer:
My thoughts about the future of Evercade aside, this looks set to be one of the best collections they’ve put out. You can order The Bitmap Brothers Collection 2 on Amazon
(For reference, The Bitmap Brothers Collection 1, which is cartridge 22 and predates the “home computer” line, features Speedball, Xenon 2 Megablast, Speedball 2 Brutal Deluxe, The Chaos Engine, and Speedball 2100.)
