Brimstone

Sensible Software is a studio embedded in gaming history for many reasons outside of the admittedly immortal Sensible Soccer. Along with the Canon Fodder games – the destructive sibling of Sensible's popular football sim – the company's commitment to the 16-bit Amiga proved that, sometimes, you can achieve impossibly addictive gaming perfection even with the most cartoon-like of visuals. Make a game addictive, and if it's being played by enough people, you've succeeded – and the fame of Sensible's output during the '90s suggests that it was something of a triumph.
