The Bitmap Brothers Collection - Amiga CD32 owners drooled and got an update!


AmigaJay has just given us the heads up via twitter that one of his best unofficial Amiga CD32 collections ' The Bitmap Brothers Collection ' has recently had a big update! Yes indeed the complete Amiga works which we featured before (here) from one of the greatest developers of our generation; The Bitmap Brothers. With games included such as Cadaver, Cadaver - The Payoff, The Chaos Engine, The Chaos Engine 2, Gods, Magic Pockets, Speedball, Speedball 2, Xenon and Xenon 2 has now been updated to v1.3.


This release was a big hit with the gamers previously, however now it's even better, as not only has Amiga Jay added the Xenon II CDTV version, but he's split releases into OCS and AGA, included all CD audio for Xenon II CDTV, updated the menu screen to 1.3 and best of all updated all CD32 load compatible titles to the latest version + file caching for much faster loading. Sounds awesome eh? Sadly the only down side is the file is only available through the forums/ftp server
