Few outfits are more synonymous with the glory days of the Commodore Amiga and Atari ST than The Bitmap Brothers. Documenting their story is Read-Only Memory’s The Bitmap Brothers: Universe, an exquisitely-presented hardback weighing in at 360 pages. Overall, it’s a good book and an enjoyable read, let down somewhat by a propensity for rose-tinted nostalgia and a viewpoint that largely represents only one of the three founders. But it’s worth it alone for the superb illustrations. Dan Malone’s trove of drafts, sketches and retrospectives, much of it never seen before, including unused characters from The Chaos Engine and his ideas for a new Speedball, being particular highlights.

Big update, I've decided to hire @ShamsJorjani as the new CEO of @ArrowheadGS ! We go way back and I wouldn't trust the business in any other hands than his. (...and he comes with an impressive resume and love for games)
But what about me and my involvement in @Helldivers2 ? Well, I'm glad you asked! I am taking the role of Chief Creative Officer, which means I will spend MORE time with the team and 100% of my focus on the games and community!"
Sony has launched the PlayStation Store "Planet of the Discounts" sale today, and this one includes a lot of AAA titles.
Major kudos to Mp1st for these nicely organized, collapsible tabs. This really is helpful when sifting through this many titles.
Thank you! 🙏🤜🤛
The SNES and Game Boy physical copies of Straynus’ spiritual successor to Maniac Mansion, Cronela’s Mansion, have been revealed.
Damn...those guys were amazing. Loved all their games...they always had great music too. Speedball was my favourite!
Btw why are there so few futuristic sports games these days?! RIGS is a great example, luckily.
