@@RetroGamesRediscovered yea do you rem when they took a pic with that helicopter on the top of maxwells place well i dont think they had perms for that they just knew when he was in and waited all day and helped themselves that is rock star behaviour, the sound is what i used to like and graphics amazing sound makes a good game, you can wind it up, u used to have a single bud who had an st and he also had xenon 2 and it was ok not bad but the sound on the st is a little thin but on my amiga the sound was insane also the st could not cope with the mix of title screen and game music like xen 2 on the amiga and what a cool name for a game brutal deluxe that was stunning - nowadays everyone would have a little cry baby over that and throw their toys out their pram
@@raymoreton3184 Ha ha, yes I think you're right, they were awesome developers. I remember meeting them at an Amiga show in London once and got a signed copy of Magic Pockets, still have it to this very day.
@@RetroGamesRediscovered ooooooooooo that must have been cool getting it signed by them i was a little bit young when that was out and would not have been old enough to go to london i was still only 13 and its not to far but defo to far to go alone hanging on to it could be worth while when they die it could up the value

oh my .. cadaver, Chaos engine 2!! I'm really .. OLD !! I'm not sure this kind of games are for youngsters (you need to search sometimes .. it's hard, hum my lovely generation Z..). Funny to see one last time those games... What an evolution ....
While this is the "leftovers" cart for the Bitmap Bros (the best games were on Collection 1), the versions are at least the original Amiga versions this time around rather than the terrible console ports (special mention to the dreadful Master System port of Speedball). Chaos Engine 2 is easily the worst game BB did, absolutely dreadful. Z being the PSX version though is understandable given that it's unlikely that the Evercade has the horsepower to run DOSBox and it lends itself more to the Evercade's controller.
Thanks for your comment! I actually think this collection stands strong on its own with some great games included - I don’t see it as the 'leftovers' cart at all! It’s definitely a bonus to have the original Amiga versions instead of the console ports, though, and I totally understand the choice of Z on the PSX given the Evercade’s limitations. Always good to hear different takes on the collection - appreciate you sharing your thoughts!
I found your review bit over the top & not completely honest. Chaos Engine2 for instance was originally a ‘two player’ game & the split screen is annoying. This cart is not one of the best by any means. Sounds like your review is for some reason very obviously bias. It’s a very average cart @best
Great video Rusty! Remember playing Gods for hours back in the day.
Magic pockets was used on the Saturday morning tv show Motormouth.
Thank you for your comment, Gods was such a great game. I'd forgotten that Magic Pockets was used in Motormouth, such a cool game.

Old farts might like it even if the choice of games is debatable (First Chaos Engine, Speedball 2 missing)

Thanks for taking the time to comment. It's only bias because I enjoy those games! I'm not sure how else I could be biased!
This collection is absolutely terrible
Did you not enjoy these games back in the day?
