Normally I don't care much for Kickstarter but in this case I came across something that was too good to resist: A book dedicated to the legendary Bitmap Brothers.
If you were a gamer in the 16-bit era, you would recognize the name. The Bitmap Brothers made some memorable games and were known for producing innovative games over several genres.
Whilst these guys never enjoyed massive worldwide success (comparable to, say, SqueeEnix), they were fondly remembered within the UK and for those who like their games to be challenging.
Personally, I'm glad to have such a record of this magnitude being made. With the passage of time, far too often do 'name' developers slip through the cracks, their pioneering achievements forgotten in amongst the relentless pace video games march at. With this book, it is reassuring to know that the Bitmap Brothers achievements in game design, graphics and rockin' music may finally be properly recognized.
So I encourage you to click on the link above and pledge your support!
