Bits Media Bytes!

This section of the 'Bits Grab Fest' features some nifty Bits downloads ... There's some nice Bits desktop wallpaper, skins to make your ICQ+ look prettier and there's even Bouff and Aleks skins for 'The Sims' (these aren't the AvatarMe ones that were featured on the show, these are custom produced skins!) This section no longer features any audio or video files as they now have sections all to themselves!

If you have produced something Bits related which you would like included in this section then please email me with details of what you have produced. I'm after things like Bits Winamp skins, more desktop wallpapers and, well, anything Bits related basically! You will receive a nice ego-warming credit in this section if I add your contribution to the site.

Galax-i-Bits

The universe is being invaded by hordes of aliens and assorted weirdo's!! GIBBER!! Who can save us? The Bits girls of course!! The Bits Grab Fest in association with the mighty Boz proudly presents 'Galax-i-Bits' - A riotous retro romp for your PC. This is a game loosely (hehe!) based on the classic 'Galaxians' coin-op. 'Galax-i-Bits' allows you to take control of one of the lovely Bits babes and unleash DEATH and DESTRUCTION on a variety of attacking meanies ...

Installing Galax-i-Bits:- Once you've downloaded the game simply unzip it into an empty folder onto your hard-drive. Now run the Setup.exe program and follow the on-screen prompts. Please note that the game takes a while to unscramble its bits from its bytes when it's first loaded so please be patient.

The game has been tested on my gumby Pentium II 450MMX PC running Windows 98 and a 1GHZ AMD PC running Windows 2000 and works with no problems. You will need Direct X version 7.0, or preferably a later version, installed on your system in order to run Galax-i-Bits.

Galax-i-Bits features:

50 levels of frenzied blasting fun and frolics!!
10 terrifying (?) end of level b**tards!
Classic retro style front-end screen!
The catchiest title tune ever (probably)
Cameos from classic game characters!
Keyboard controllable Bits babes!
Super smooth invading nasties!
Bits-tastic presentation screens!
Graphics and sound AT THE SAME TIME!
Bouff head to toe in rubber (Not really!)

"This is probably the best ever Shoot 'Em Up! Amazing!!!"

"Totally wicked action!!! This is a well radical game!"

"An exhilirating realistic simulation! Great fun!"

Cartoon Bits!

Do you remember those brilliant cartoon drawings of the Bits babes that they used to have on the back of their clipboards? I've been trying to trace the person who drew those superb pictures for YEARS and then suddenly, totally out of the blue, they contacted ME!
I was quite surprised to discover that the cartoon pictures had been drawn by a girl! Her name is Sasha Baker and she now lives in the United States. She used to live in Newcastle and was a huge fan of the show when it was on. During her time at college and Uni she was going through a bit of a gothy phase and used to put blue in her hair like Aleks! Sasha loves games and is currently working on a comic strip website.


Sasha has sent along three nice cartoon pictures of the Bits girls and I've also put online a superb backdrop featuring all three cartoon Bits babes. The backdrop was actually sent to me during the time I was helping out with series 5 of the show and I believe it was pinched off Emily Dunns PC - teehee! Look out for more cartoon Bits girl goodies coming from Sasha SOON!

Superb! I've been hoping someone would make some Bits girls skins for the original classic Unreal Tournament game for ages and at long last somebody has!
