Bitmap Brothers


Bitmap Brothers is a UK based video game developer. It was founded in 1987 and entered the industry in 1988 with the scrolling shooter Xenon. They quickly followed with the classic Speedball. Bitmap Brothers released several games on the Amiga and was one of the most successful companies on that platform. Their PC games have never matched the sales of their previous Amiga titles. Since 2002, the company has released ports of several of its most popular games for both the Gameboy Advance and Pocket PC platforms.

Bitmap Brothers is based in Wapping, East London and is privately owned. Its current MD is Mike Montgomery.

Before becoming publisher of its own games, early Bitmap Brothers titles were distributed by Image Works and Konami.
