Remember "Speedball"? You probably don't.

 

I can't say I remember playing it in the arcades but by then my visits
to them where in decline. I did play Xenon when I visited the computer
museum in Cambridge though!

 The Bitmap Brothers had a string of hits, mostly on the Amiga and
Atari ST. They were more successful in Europe, where the 8-bits
reigned supreme while IBM/PC compatibles, Apple and consoles were
second fiddle. "Speedball" (1 and 2), "Gods", "Cadaver", "Xenon" (1 &
2), "Chaos Engine" (a.k.a. Soldier of Fortune), "Steel Soldiers" and
"Z" were all extremely well-reviewed games.

Gods was a favorite of mine on the ST.  One of my favorite platformers, which few I even liked.
