ZX Spectrum Longplay [023] Batman The Movie

Batman the Movie for Spectrum 128k.
What an awsome port this was. Even years later after having played other versions, I still think the spectrum version stands up well and shows the developers really put the effort in on this one. Its a short game, but its has multiple gameplay types and music for each level. A great port and I never regreted buying this game.
Only niggle is that there is no ending as such, and it just loops from level one again, only harder (take more damage from hits). Hardest level was the Balloons level which was nigh on impossible. Took me more then a few goes to get through. God knows how it would be on the second loop with higher difficulty. -

Loving the tune from the last level. Even after all these years

One can only drool at what the Spectrum would have been like with custom graphics and sound hardware. As limited as it is, the spectrum was amazing for its day, and this is another great game that shows the Spectrum off.

This is the best Ocean game for sure. Even the music is wonderful this time.

[@marcisb73]

I think it uses the same engine as Robocop, because design is quite similar.

[@damion6055]

Your right

[@julienbraudel7109]

Many games from Ocean have gorgeous soundtrack : Platoon, Robocop, Mutants, Sly Spy etc. They had great composers : Jonathan Dunn, Fred Gray, Keith Tinman, Matthew Cannon, etc.

Great playing mate, I remember finishing it back in the day too, brilliant Batman game by Ocean, and with class music throughout👍🏻

[@time-zero]

Graphics done by Dawn Drake (woman!) and music by Mathew Cannon is exceptional. Best game for ZX Spectrum, hands down

Those factories have shocking health and safety breaches.

Man, Joker fell a loooooong way down.

[@bighairydel]

probably my most played computer game ever!!! and probably the best music

[@holiggan2008]

I played this a lot back in the day :) But I'm actually realizing that this looks a lot like Robocop for the Spectrum too! Up to some sound effects as well! Still, it's such a fun game to play :)

[@tivulandia]

outstanding music!

[@TheBigrab10]

[@LuisSantos-xj3rg]

One of my top 5 spectrum games

[@evansknight6181]

I loved this game.

[@cezaug]

The untouchables is another great game from ocean..Great in music and gameplay...I think it runs in the same engine

[@damion6055]

Best zx spectrum game next to the mario demo

[@wayneevans3860]

I had this on c64 but this looks better

[@DLiberator78]

This platform game has Ocean written all over it. They were a great software company for producing good platformers. However the ending was a bit of an anti-climax. I mean killing the joker with one batarang. You would have thought the final boss would have put up more of a fight. Other than that graphically not a bad game.

[@misulugattotordo]

Nice music, same as c64 (also mr. Cannon)

[@fastrun14]

I thought good games had good endings? Still, with 3 people programming this game, its not bad.

[@tingtongtube]

Speccy games a million times better gameplay than 99% of NES games...If only they had the NES graphics at the time.

[@VeeeeryyyFaaaastSlooooth]

Great game. and IMO the 2D batmobile/batplane levels on 8bits were much better than the 3D counterparts on 16bits

[@Isadir272re6]

Not bad port

[@КукумберИваныч]

где вы такие игры находите? оО. в моем детстве такой годноты не было.

[@RA4FRH]

Это все с прошлого века...90 х годов.

[@CAWGregoryBlack]

LOL Sadly, it looks like Batman is sashaying more than actually walking.
