Much like the Anno series, the Super Kip franchise was known for its unconventional numbering of titles. After Super Kip Wan (which translates from Dutch/Japanese as “Super Chicken One”) came the brilliant but flawed Super Kip Sega II: 9242 bit. After that, the author decided 9242 bits really was too much for people to handle, and turned it down a notch to the more comfortable 28 bits.

This game hit a sweet spot between Super Kip Wan, which was too hard, and the 9242 bit edition, which had too many bits for anyone to handle. It met huge critical acclaim amongst Super Kip fans, and was awarded with the “Best Game of the Century” award (“Beste Spel deze Eeuw”) in 1993 (see title screen). You read that right, in 1993 everyone was so fucking sure this was the best game of the century that they didn’t even wait and just handed out the award right then and there. Madness!

To give you an idea what the craze what about, here’s some screenshots from the game:

Maan Studio later tried to make a successor to this game, but this game turned out to be… unsuccessable.
