DreamPod 150: Mike Tucker of Bitmap Bureau
Friday, 8 May, 2026
We had to do something special for the 150th episode of the DreamPod. Well, turns out that Tom is good friends with gaming industry veteran and design director of indie powerhouse Bitmap Bureau, Mike Tucker, and getting him on the DreamPod was long overdue.Joined by the foremost expert on Giant Killers in the Western world™, Kev, we look back at Mike's career in the games industry — from playtesting classics like Carmageddon at SCi Games, to his time at io Productions working on the cancelled Dreamcast sheep-herding title Stampede and spending many gruelling hours trying to break Giant Killers (spoiler: it broke him), right through to his present-day work at Bitmap Bureau creating critically acclaimed titles such as Terminator 2D: No Fate, and Xeno Crisis, the latter of which placed third in our 2024 Top 25 Dreamcast Indie Games community vote.Check out:Bitmap BureauKev's Giant Killers Let's PlayTom's article on StampedeThe Top 25 Dreamcast Indie Games (2024)Kev's Masio-Ball YouTube channelFeaturing music from: Xeno Crisis and Giant Killers (thanks Derek Pascarella for ripping the GK track)Looking for more Dreamcast Junkyard goodness?
