While not a retro game itself, I was playing Atomfall just now and came across this metal head in the robotics section, which is a lovely little hidden reference to a late entry in the Bitmap Brothers catalogue, Z.

Z was a decent game back in the day, and yet another example of the Bitmaps showcasing their skills at being able to produce top quality games in whatever genre they chose.

Rebellion gained ownership of the Bitmap Brothers games a few years ago, so it’s not out of place in Atomfall, but still a nice nod to one of British gaming’s most beloved studios.

    Man that game was so good. It’s one of the first games I played that kicked the shit out of me and made me it’s bitch and taught me that aggression is key. It’s also a game I bought for like $0.97 in a bargain bin, but I did recognize the bitmap bros name! Was such a great surprise when I installed it and played it
