I just got this and a C64 but when it says "Hit The Button" at the title screen I hit every damn key on the keyboard and nothing happens..! Anybody help?
I actually prefer the spectrum music, but the fact is, it's because of nostalgia, no real reason other than this because technically it's far superior
ahh nice, love the music...remember this game on C64, you could forward the tape and then load from wherever you wanted :D that´s old school cheating!!
have a look at the spectrum version on youtube and listen to the main menu music and the batmobile level. You will see that it just sounds a whole lot better. Its not just the music, the sound of the batrope and batarangs are also much better. You can see a video on my Youtube channel.
It's the same songs with a generic bleep sound like on most 8-bit platforms. The C64 sound chip does a lot more. The Spectrum version does have both music and effects at the same time though, but then again one sound channel gets chopped everytime an effect is played. You select either music or sound effects in the C64, which means a choice between kick ass music or half assed sound effects.
@kurtangleukreborn I just checked out the spectrum version and its pretty fucking bad compared to this version, you must have had your face really far up in your ass when you made that comment.
I remember playing this, awesome game, and on a lator level i crashed into a wall and skipped the entire level and was invincable for the rest of the game, major glitch eh.
one of the movie franchises, ocean software wasted =(
they knew how to turn a blockbuster movie or tv show into awful crap (platoon, lethal weapon, batman, knight rider jurassic park, terminator, transformers, darkman, addams family, total recall,...)
This was pretty good actually, and so was ghostbusters 1 and 2. Not all movie games were awful crap. It was hard to make a good game on these systems so most games were equally crap, movie or otherwise.
I LOVE ths game!!!. Bought it from WHSmith in Hastings (which is now a Yates Wine Lodge), laded it up and found it hard cos I was a medicore games player at the time!!. CVG printed a map and eventually complated it.
The BEST movie tie-in EVER!!!, and the music is great even today.
I won't ever forget Christmas '89, when I got this game. It was probably the greatest gaming experience in my life. The music is simply incredible. I still play these games once in a while, mostly to listen to the music.
You know what's kinda weird about this? In the movie, Batman tries to stop Napier from falling into the chemicals, but in the games of it, you (Batman) are trying to knock him in?
The Amiga version has better sound/graphics, and its difficulty is far greater than this version.
i.e: I noticed you using the graple-hook to swing, the string of the graple-hook goes threw the wall freely. In the amiga version the string snaps when this occurs.
Also you fall much faster in the amiga version.
This c64 version looks to be seemingly immpossible to die from a high-height-fall.
C64 version has no sound effects at all, save for music.
This version is indeed much easier. You can die falling if you go the wrong way. You can choose between music or sound effects in the title screen, but the sound effects are half assed.
ive played both this on the amiga and the c64 in the day - and i tried again more recently - and the c64 version is miles better - i love the music on the c64 version - another example on how powerful the SID from the c64 actually is!
Good game. Lame how Batman was not able beat down enemies with his hands and feet like in the movie, he could only throw those batarangs.

they wasted many of them for the quick money.
they had great games like head over heels and operation wolf. but never a good game in combination with a movie license.
pixelinho 2 years ago
Batman and ghostbusters 1 and 2 and moonwalker were good. Head over heels was overrated IMO, just another dungeon trawler.
Seladoor 2 years ago
but ghostbusters where by Activision and Moonwalker was a US GOLD/Trivia title.
i said "Ocean" never made a good movie game.

It is quite easy to die from falling from great heights in this version if you don't know the map well :).
