The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
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.
