It's a real shame that the bitmaps never used the Amiga's hardware properly. I assume they're essentially running software scrolling on the blitter, as the frame rate is higher than the ST (which actually had a faster CPU), rather than using the Amiga's hardware scrolling. Had they used the hardware as it was intended,all of their games would run at 50fps. They also don't use any of the Amiga's hardware sprites (which come with their own pallete of 16 colours), instead using software sprites (either on the CPU or as BOBs on the blitter) with the same restrictive pallete as the 4-bit playfield.
Personally, I also found their games really over-rated. I put a lot of their fame down to their celebrity lifestyle and nice art.
