Batman The Movie ZX Spectrum

[SPeacock]

I was able to finish this game three times (compared to the famous NES version, which I was only able to finish ONCE due to its extreme difficulty). :)

Screen with border lines while loading a program. Simply the best load feedback system for the eight bit computers with cassette tape..

[rogerjowett]

10minutes?

5?

[welcometoGARYVILLE]

I could feel your frustration before you entered the top score :)

[Eisencyanblau]

5:30 I loved that moment, then bad dude falls into acid bath =)

[ninigou1983]

looks fun

[SPeacock]

@ninigou1983 Here's a cheat (this game is difficult): Hold down the following keys: M, I, C and K - to skip the current level :)

[Sonatonn]

Когда едешь на машине можно на поворотах выбрасывать кошку и цепляться ею за столбы-так поворачиваешь не тормозя.

[Eisencyanblau]

@Sonatonn Он поворачивает только налево - значит ездит по кругу )))

[Sonatonn]

@Eisencyanblau Три раза налево-получается направо

[Misel982001]

Well this version is something between CPC and Amiga versions....!

[Edam3000]

Lol @ '10 mins later'.

(gotta love the Speccy for it's loading time) :D

[martinpotts]

this takes me back.

[aaron75fy]

pictures that appear for a split second APPEAR FOR A SPLIT SECOND! OF COURSE I MISSED IT

[taylorm272001]

XBOX 360 can shite off

[wingnut4427]

check out that astounding 4 on screen color pallet ! Eat your heart our Atari 2600 !! lol cool vid :D

[themightylebeau]

This brings back so many good memories, think Im going to have to crack out Robocop on the Speccy later :-)

[LeightonW87]

ahhhh, the sound of loading. lol

Those were fun days... :)

[DrClay999]

I know batman was strong, but they made look like a beast in this.... damn.

[rka18282]

as far as old consoles go, the speccy wasn't half bad, the only complaint is the lack of colours but besides that, most games are fast and fluid. This version of BATMAN is faster than the amiga if I remember correctly

[janmansde3dede]

@rka18282 Well Batman walks faster here, And this game is really impressive for

the Spectrum !

[TheCommodore64Player]

wow, i just thought spectrum48 had pc beeperish soundeffects?

[rka18282]

@TheCommodore64Player I think this is the 128k version

[Slavken]

А я ее прошел =) И в повороты там можно модно заходить, с тросом об фонарь :)

[ZILOGz80VIDEOS]

that is one crazy batman image

[alexburdin85]

Ой, какая жесть!! ))) Как хорошо, что я даже первый уровень не мог пройти!

[tottenham06]

if you owned that computer in the 80s then you were a bad ass lol

[dave00dance]

i swear evry single zx spectrum game ive seen today has a badass rave track going on like 90s hardcore lol

[ashthedevil]

Wow!!!!!

[wojkel]

Great video. I played this game on Amiga back when... well, I had Amiga. Now only my uncle have it, but its floppy drive is broken.

Also, interesting thing about that other Batman image. Maybe they used it in alpha version of game (when they didn't have images from movie) and forgot to remove it?

[MaxPayne92]

OMG this is better than most of the NES games. How could I miss it?

[supermaletperson]

How come most games are 1-bit monocrome on the ZX Spectrum? Its 1-bit monocrome with like 1 color.

[andyukmonkey]

it can display 15 different colours but the way it displays colours makes it hard to make colourful games that don't look bizarre. Thats why a lot of games are just one colour + black.

Try checking wikipedia for an explanation.

[uknortherner2000]

@andyukmonkey Yeah, it was a lot to do with the fact the Spectrum didn't have an actual bitmap graphics mode or hardware sprites so everything had to be character-based. Each character was a fixed 8x8 pixel square that could only contain two colours, which usually led to monochromatic graphics where the developers didn't want to risk colour-clash, or they needed smooth scrolling.

[tiger5455]

i think the driveing levels look way nicer than the C64 ones...

[GhostReconGuy]

This music is some funky shit!

[dylandior123]

Funny how the BatWing is same size as a lorry cab. Batman must be a midget! LOL :-p

[dylandior123]

The sound of it and the "scrolling pencils" when it loads takes me back!

Thanks so much!

I just wish my brother and I still had it now.

Are you playing that on the Spectrum right now?

I wish I could play it! Can you get a version of this exact game on PC?

I'd love it so much!

Thanks again! :)

[kazimann]

Old school goodness!

[OldSmellyCrotch]

LOAD ""

[Pilot177013]

Did you know that you can use your bat-rope to get around the corners in an instant on the batmobile stage, just like in the movie. It's a hell of a lot quicker, but you have to time it just right or you're screwed!

I completed the game maybe 50% of the time I played it. Jokers code used to get me a lot of the time.

Great fun to play, and you got through it FAST!

[OldSmellyCrotch]

Yeah, if you didn't get a syntax;error when loading it! =D

[dunique]

Classic, I remember the black carboard mini box that it came in. Awesome music, sounds like the Sid chip.

[wootlanter]

You know when your energy goes down, and the top of the head (up past the eyebrows) is the joker? Well, it looks a bit like Eric Morecambe...

[YuriPetrovsky]

FANTASTIC VIDEO! thanks a lot! joder como me gustaba la musica de este juego

[ryanxboxlive]

its an old game you young idiot

[ryansagmit]

what the fuck is this shit? haha, i watched all 14 minutes!

anyways. 5 stars man. haha.

did you guys notice batman just goes in circles in the batmobile stage? haha, man, but batman has a reason for everything.

[pedroac]

HAHA! I never noticed before that new BatMan face!

[pedroac]

You almost won the whole game in less than 20 minutes. I had to save states of the game to win it. You need to master the bat rope thing to pass the last level.
