Made by Alex-Hanson White. Don't know what it is but something makes me look at it over and over again...

Of course he did it. He just shouldn't be claiming it's pixel art. That's index painting, with no regard to proper color usage, conservation, or anything of the type. He basically uses dpaint like a lame photoshop with 256 colours instead of 17 million colours.

The old Bitmap Brothers style rules!

Chaos Engine - intro


Speedball 2 - loser and winnerpics



Acording to Mobygames Dan Malone did the art for both of these games.

HOL says Dan Malone too. I guess Dan Malone rules.

Dude also did Cadaver, another goregeous looking game for the A500

Chaos engine was very funny game with two players.
The Bitmap brothers style use much dithering,
but looks great

Btw.
Found these two Speedball Pictures on Gfxzone
and they say mark coleman.

yeh i know they say mark coleman, but both HOL and Mobygames say Dan Malone.
I think Mark Coleman did art for Magic Pockets and Gods among others.

I think we can trust HOL on this one. You can clearly see a difference in style between the games Dan Malone made and the games Mark Coleman made. Chaos engine for example doesn't look at all like Xenon 2. Bitmap brothers was an amazing game company. The Chaos Engine was a fantastic game and the graphics were great.
