GOTY 2012

[djnarcotixmusic]

Lol I remember when this came out - at the time we'd never had like, sampled music for the intro to ANY game and it blew everyone away!! Still pretty cool now.

[j1mf1eld]

BITMAP BROS made brilliant games GODS was cool, didn't they do Chaos Engine too?

[MOSTechnology]

Having 'Doin' the do' in this game was the peak of Betty Boo's career. Was all downhill from here.

[mensk070]

I so loved the Amiga games and music. Could listen and play it for hours in a row... the amiga is in my heart forever...

[vishy]

I loved my Amiga. Utterly loved it :) xxxxx to my Amiga 500+ hahaha

[djrikki2008]

Check out the new amiga coming out very soon, just search: Amiga X1000 in your favourite search engine!

[Rooneysithmaster]

Ok just brilliant, the buzz i used to get from hearing sampled music like this was massive. Like someone says below xenon 2 had megablast by bomb the bass, wicked times!

[monkeymagic1986]

anyone remeber ruff n tumble?what a game or baby joe lol

[RetroSpectreUK]

@monkeymagic1986 yep, ruff and tumble was great

[monkeymagic1986]

memories lol

[Webbula]

Best intro music to any game ever.

[GrandDizzy]

This was one of the best Amiga soundtracks. (I loved Betty Boo,)

Xenon 2 was another great Bitmap Brothers soundtrack.

[PopMusicKiller]

This game makes chubby white kids look actually cool.

[miambechamel]

RIP Beloved Amiga...

You made us dream with your huge collection of wonderful games (Bitmap ones were neraly the bests).

I hope my reincarnation will be in the early 90's so as to play again with you.

Amiga, we miss u

[KingPadboy]

@miambechamel Amiga isnt dead!! far from it!

[vishy]

@miambechamel I hear you my friend ... I loved my Amiga when i was a kid. Loved it :) I got an Amiga 500+ for Christmas and I remember staring at the box under the Christmas tree night after night. Happy (geeky) times!!

[Yohko86]

Love the "Doin' The Do" rendition! I never played the Amiga, but I can tell just by this game that it had one awesome sound chip!

[pidgin]

I remember seeing this on a friend's Amiga and being stunned by the audio... Commodore were leaps and bounds ahead of everything else.

[MicBain81]

it took PCs sooo long to catch up to amigas... especially with sound...

[sytoru]

Bitmap Brothers games hard? Nah man. Psygnosis was where it was at for hard games That reminds me..... Time to go look up the intro for "Walker"

[Mortalfarmer]

:D! I loved this as a kid!

[LAGERL0UT]

i liked the xenons,gods and the speedball games.magic pockets was crap.and i also hated the chaos engine. my point was,at the time the games were really flashy with funky tunes etc but play them now and unlike many many old 2d games they havent aged well.

[sumkunol]

Have to agree here, Xenon II, Gods and Speedball were great but MP was really bad. Specifically, it played like crap (cool into and gfx though).

On the other hand, I loved the Chaos Engine. Go the Gentleman!

[LAGERL0UT]

I was never keen on the bitmap bros.Apart from the speedball games i always found there games were all mouth and no trousers.With there generic metallic orange graphics often great sound and gameplay that was far too hard and unenjoyable for its own good.

[icecutter19]

wtf. Bitmap Bros games ruled

[maxheadroom1987]

Anyone know where i can get the acorn version disk image?

[WelcomeToMyDomain]

fantastic game fantastic song what a classic thanks for putting it up

[aldar98]

bitmap bros - one game that comes to my mind: Cadaver !!! <3

[bazfanv2]

cant understand why u was jelous durzel, the st versions intro is exactly the same mate. I used to like playing this a lot, just to show of the graphics to my uncle who had a c64. Then i got bored of good graphics and re bought a c64.

[bpb235]

Bitmap Bros. - One of the best intros EVER !

[DethLeppard]

Haha.. the Bitmap shades got everywhere :)

[89mr2man84]

Brings back memories haha.

[la4or]

the music is "betty boop" - right?

[PAULLONDEN]

I'm gonna check it out right away,here.

such a funny tune.

[Durzel]

Yup, Betty Boo "Doin' the Do". I remember being blown away when I first saw this on my friends Amiga (I had an ST). I was very jealous at the time :)

[Jetsetsillywilly]

Haha, the Bitmap Kid is 'Doin'tha Doo!'

[roberttoddtv]
