EVER:thoughts 14 | The Bitmap Brothers Collection II Trailer Reaction & Thoughts

[@jayme69]

Great video as always and totally excited for The Bitmap Brothers Collection 2, mainly for Magic Pockets, Cadaver and the expansion. With the Thalamus Collection being a "no show" until the end of the month, I treated myself by picking up The Delphine Collection 1. I have absolutely no reason to get this apart from to complete my Home Computer Collection as I have so many ways to play these games. Funny thing is, the copy I got from Amazon had a cover that's more purple than blue? Probably a problem with the printing but does that make it collectible, lol ;-) Even though I've abandoned collecting all the Console Carts due to the poor showing this year, I may just continue to keep both my Home Computer & Arcade carts collections complete for now :-) Yes, those phone in TV Show games were a laugh, talk about lag! Kids don't know they're born ;-) Keep up the awesome work Steve!

@@jayme69 hey Jamie, defo sounds like you have a collectable on your hands there 🤣 haha the pull to completion is still in you some what. It is tricky to resist init. The home computer series is defo a good one to have, they are definitely tailored to us British folk aren't they. I must finish my ranking video for the third C4 collection, you have reminded me. Glad you are as excited as me for a bit of magic pockets shenanigans 😁🔥

Bitmap was a surprise as the red cart wasn't the best but this one really intrigues me. Specially Amiga games as that was the machine in the mid to late 80's until DOS took over. Amiga is legendary with legendary games. Evercade is the best thing i've seen in ages. I started last December and own every cart including all legacy. Playing all the games little by little and brings tons of nostalgia as well as finding games i've never played but heard of.

@@djcharlieboy1918 yeah Amiga 500 was my baby 😊 and team 17, Psygnosis my absolute heroes 😊 I do wish we get a 3rd collection with the Amiga versions of the games from collection 1

As an American, I’m obligated to hate Europlatformers. But these look better than most.

[@aboyandhisdogRE]

@@billcook4768 as a Brit I respect your position 🤣 I'm kinda like that about American rpgs... Though there are defo a couple of exceptions 😉

BMB2 is all new to me. Cadaver looks up my alley (or street). Not sure about the rest of the games. I am sad that Xenon 1 wasn't included. I think they should make the red cart legacy and do a blue cart with the Amiga versions of the games from the red cart.

[@KeenRetroGames]

The Jaguar port of Gods is a direct port of the ST version. I think it has new music but the gameplay is identical.

[@aboyandhisdogRE]

@@KeenRetroGames I think we should just get a bitmap brothers 3 Collection with the Amiga versions of the games on collection 1 but still not make the first legacy 😂 I'll take it all and more 😁🔥

[@djcharlieboy1918]

Love your videos. Hidden game for me would be Xenon but who knows. Everyone is between Gex or Legacy of Kain but Gex belongs to Square Enix so a no go. There is also Pendemonium and the last two Tomb Raider games on PS1 as well.

[@KeenRetroGames]

Pandemonium belongs to SquareEnix too.

[@aboyandhisdogRE]

@@KeenRetroGames shame I love me a bit of pandemonium, it's such a good word too like shenanigans. They just sounds good to say slowly out loud! Okay, that's just a me thing 🤣

[@aboyandhisdogRE]

@@djcharlieboy1918 cheers mate, sad about gex, we better be getting the next two tomb raiders as well! Would be great to have all of em on the Evercade.

@@KeenRetroGames not from what i've heard

[@genejoke8538]

BMB2 is a definite must buy for me. Fingers crossed on Legacy of kain/soul reaver, but it is a shame the rest of the series are no goes. How about looking at legacy carts that you haven't covered?

[@KeenRetroGames]

The rest of the Legacy of Kain games are much less worth playing than the first two.

[@KeenRetroGames]

But we are definitely getting Legacy of Kain Blood Omen/Soul Reaver cart eventually. I'll eat my Super Pocket if we don't.

[@genejoke8538]

@@KeenRetroGames you're not wrong, on both counts.

[@aboyandhisdogRE]

@@genejoke8538 awesome you are excited about the new collection. It should be a good one! Yeah we are all crossing fingers, toes and any other dangling appendages that we get kain cart! And cheers for the suggestion. People aren't suggestion that much, so anything helps mate 😉👍
