In 1987, a company was founded in England and quickly began to turn out hit after hit, making a name for itself over several platforms. That company was the Bitmap Brothers, and you’ve probably played a few of their offerings, like Speedball 2: Brutal Deluxe, Soldiers of Fortune, and Gods. Sega-16 recently had the chance to briefly talk with the Bitmap Brother’s founder, Mike Montgomery, about his time on Sega’s 16-bit wonder and the era in general.
Sega-16 was lucky enough to score an interview with the man who drew the short-lived Niles Nemo comic strip, David Sullivan. He had some interesting things to say about working with Bill Kunkel and Sega of America. Check it out for yourself; you know you want to!

Sega-16 talked to him for a bit about his experiences at the magazine, and you know you want to read it!
