Mistigram: some minimalist artforms are primarily concerned with outlines, others with the use of negative space. Somewhere in between is this monochrome approach, in the vein of the #BitmapBrothers ' memorable logo, drawn in #teletext by @atonalosprey.

I played Speedball 2 last night 🏈 👊

Great fun with a modern controller. The stick controls work very well 😀

"Ice cream! Ice cream!" 📢

Received these two boxes this week 😀

Goldrunner and Xenon, my two favorite shoot 'em ups on Atari ST. Impressive graphics and music that will remain in my memory forever.

The boxes are nice too 🚀 ✨

As I construct my ideas around what games are and are not, I’ve been reflecting on my gaming past and the developers whose worlds I spent most time in.
#BitmapBrothers (1987) were among the best, creating iconic #Amiga titles like #Gods, #MagicPockets and #Cadaver.

The beautiful interfaces of Bitmap Brothers games 👊 ✨

Designed by Daniel Malone (Speedball 2, Chaos Engine) and Mark Coleman (Gods, Xenon2)

Xenon on Atari ST 🚀 (1988)

Along with Goldrunner, this was one of the first shoot'em-ups to impress me on Atari ST. Both for its graphics and its mesmerizing music 😍 🎶

I just learned that Tetsuya Mizuguchi had played Xenon 2. And that he felt like he was playing a music game 🎶

Twelve years later, he created Rez 😀

Xenon 2: Megablast (1989) – A classic Amiga vertical shooter by Bitmap Brothers! Stunning visuals, strategic upgrades, and a legendary Bomb the Bass soundtrack made it unforgettable. 🎮✨

Later today I'll be recording an episode with @gamesguru1.bsky.social. We'll be talking a lot about the #BitmapBrothers catalogue of games. What are your memories of this legendary group of coders?

So put the Boss into the project and it moves about and the turrets move... Still need to make it shoot, animate the "brain", and get shot, but pretty happy with this so far.

The Chaos Engine (1993) has some of the best graphics seen on the Amiga. It is the first game the Bitmap Brothers developed originally for the Amiga (not the Atari ST), and the results are visible. It was also ported to Genesis and SNES. #retrogames #amiga #bitmapbrothers

Writing the end of level boss code... it's pretty much an entirely separate mini game! But it needs to seamlessly flow from the main game and back. I didn't expect this to be as challenging as it is!
