The Bitmap Brothers Collection 2

The Bitmap Brothers Collection 2 for Evercade brings together five home computer classics from the self-appointed "rock stars" of the British game development scene, including Cadaver and its expansion The Payoff, Gods, Magic Pockets, and The Chaos Engine 2, plus the 32-bit home console version of the real-time strategy classic Z!

  • Cadaver In Cadaver for Evercade, you'll take control of Karadoc the dwarf on his mission to defeat an evil necromancer. Blending elements of adventure and role-playing games, this Amiga classic features a quest that will tax both brain and brawn!
  • Cadaver: The Payoff Fresh from his mission to defeat Dianos the necromancer, Karadoc the dwarf returns in this expansion for Cadaver on Evercade. Four huge new levels await our hero in this Amiga adventure, each packed with tricks, traps and puzzles to overcome!
  • Gods Classic Amiga platformer Gods comes to Evercade! Take on the role of a legendary hero who dares to challenge the Gods on their own turf. Fight and puzzle your way through four areas of an ancient city on your quest to take a seat atop Mount Olympus.
  • Magic Pockets Delve into the mysteries that lie within your own trousers in Magic Pockets, an attitude-filled Amiga platformer. As the cooler-than-cool Bitmap Kid, it's up to you to reclaim your Best Toys from the Bad People — and fill up on Sweet Things in the process!
  • The Chaos Engine 2 Amiga action star The Chaos Engine 2 swaps the cooperative gameplay of its predecessor in favour of split-screen objective-based competitive action. Battle against a computer-controlled opponent in a series of missions to win your freedom, or compete against a friend on Evercade VS!
  • Z Eat lead… with Z! This 32-bit real-time strategy classic places a strong emphasis on territory control. As an army of red robots, battle against your blue rivals for supremacy. Aggression is the name of the game, because your opponent certainly isn't going to wait for you!
