(* free shipping only for shipping to addresses in Germany) The Bitmap Brothers: Universe is a comprehensive history of the visionary British software house responsible for groundbreaking titles such as Xenon 2: Megablast, Speedball 2: Brutal Deluxe and The Chaos Engine . The book combines the inside story of The Bitmap Brothers from expert sources, thoroughly researched through new first-hand interviews with key figures in The Bitmap Brothers - including founder Mike Montgomery and lead artist Dan Malone - with a stunning wealth of never-before-seen archive footage. Highlights such as unused character concepts for Speedball 2: Brutal Deluxe, intricate pencil renderings of The Chaos Engine 's iconic cutscenes, and early robot designs for Z are part of a rich collection of original production drawings. Along with this archival material , The Bitmap Brothers: Universe features a gallery of exclusive game art created by NVIDIA graphics engineer Timothy Lottes, which accurately reproduce the CRT screens of the era for the first time in print. The book also reveals for the first time the fate of unreleased projects, including the high-octane Amiga racer Bike and a 2D successor to Speedball.
