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.
Oh, I remember Z, fondly. Pretty simplistic for a 1996 RTS when C&C had
come out the previous year. In the tougher maps of Z you figured out
pretty quick what unfair advantage of the computer you needed to remove
first and if you managed that, the rest was just mop-up. Pretty hectic
mop-up but still. Also some minor innovation on the genre, perhaps, like
a smarter vehicle driver actually driving smarter.
Gameplay was a lot faster paced than C&C. In fact, I think C&C had
similar level of hectic action in C&C 3 in 2007.
