Movies to Video Games Review -- Batman (C64 & Amiga)

[mikebeange]

I had this game. The Amiga version was amazing. And as a 12 year old child I didn't care at all about the simplicity of the game, nor would I have complained about the repetitiveness of each level, the music, ect. I was playing Batman for Pete's sake! Looking back now 20 years after the fact it looks pretty cheesy, but I still spent many hours playing it at the time and enjoyed it a lot. I'm just glad I never had the misfortune of playing the crappy C64 version

[kaiserwilhelm]

should have made the background music a little quiter.

@PyramidHead87 Cannot unhear.

[RichXbox360]

Grr FFS STFU about the Amiga! The Atari ST had better games.

[ScrewAttackEurope]

You'd buy it if it was a bargain basement price??

The game was given away for Free on the Amiga. How much cheaper do you want it?

And please explain what other Amiga games at the time would have blown it out of the water, you seem quite the Amiga expert.

[Movies2GamesReviews]

Funny you should mention that. I did own both an Amiga 1000 and Amiga 500 and had many games. Stay tuned for more Amiga reviews in the very near future :)

But, yes Amiga was a great computer for its time. A great one indeed. We can have private talks about good and bad Amiga games elsewhere if you would like. Always up for talks on that computer and other systems I grew up with.

Thanks for your feedback!!

[ScrewAttackEurope]

A 1000? that is pretty obscure, most people either had a 500 or a 1200, must admit I had a 600 as a kid.

The Amiga was an awesome machine, it really held it's ground in the 16 bit days and faired quite well in the 32 bit years too. But sure if you ever wz\nt a chat dude!

[flakelorenz02]

Thought this game was graat. A huge Batfan though. Might have been the first game I saw at least played.

[ScrewAttackEurope]

Why do Americans have a problem with Ocean? They made some awesome titles over the years.

[flakelorenz02]

@ScrewAttackEurope

They made that game for the vitural boy that nobody in the UK (and not many in the us) got to play and that's all I can think of. They've made some bad ports.

[RichXbox360]

@ScrewAttackEurope Ocean was based in Manchester, England, dunno why the Yanks hated them, but they're stupid anyway.

[ScrewAttackEurope]

@RichXbox360 Yanks or Ocean?

I personally think that Ocean deserve a lot more credit in gaming history than what they got. They nurtured a lot of major talent we have today.

[RichXbox360]

@ScrewAttackEurope The Yanks are stupid, I know I'll get flamed for that, but I'm past caring what people on the Internet say or think about me so yeh.

[ScrewAttackEurope]

@RichXbox360 LMAO!!!

[80KungFu]

The Amiga version looks good!

[PolloBBQ]

Please stop giving the entire plot of the movie to start your review. Just make comments during the game review about whether or not it follows the film. I dont think anyone wants to hear you descirbe the entire movie plot its very boring, but your game reviews are good other wise.

[Lionqueen06]

could u review disney bolt?

[zeogeox]

I never played these games you see I had real game systems at this age (NES, MS,)Nice review bro! I've watched a few but I haven't said anything yet!

[twelvehaha]

you had a real gaming system? you realize that computers are "real game systems" aswell. they had the same, if not MORE power then your NES.

[zeogeox]

LOL eh I didn't mean no harm I'm just geing a hater cuz I never had a PC!

[lurkerrekrul]

Take a breath occasionally!

[lordreis]

The music of the game is somehow too loud, I can't understand that much of what you're saying, which makes it hard to understand you for I'm no native speaker....

[kemikalgoon]

take it easy it was commodore 64 not xbox 360. Genius at the time. the music in c64 batman was the best ever.

[jarrettsuhr]

But the commodore was some time fault it would get screwed up in the middle of certain games only work if it felt like it. Watch James Rolf batman games review part 1.

[baldriansfres]

one of the best action games for the commodore 64 system ever! :)

I loved it and played many times over in the beginning of the 90´s :)

[ppknight01]

I don't really agree with this review, it feels like you're expecting too much from a 'retro' system.You didn't cover the ZX Spectrum version which is fine, but it's impressive that it retained very close gameplay to both the C64 and Amiga versions. I did enjoy watching this review and I like what you're doing, my only criticism would be that sometimes you speak too fast, I think you should try to relax a little, but you're doing well and I appreciated the chance to hear your views.

[ecartman12]

Useing the grappling hook is like useing spidermans web swing at those times.

[Airola]

I never knew what I was supposed to do on that minigame with the items until now. I didn't bother to read the manual back then I guess :D

Anyways, I played through that level tons of times and every time cleared it in the first try by just randomly choosing items and pressing buttons :)

(that was the C64 version)

[Simon0]

hehe.  Pyramid head.

[Webins]

the Sega Mega Drive (Genesis) version was faaar superior. In fact, it was second only to the NES "Batman" as far as ther 1989 movie tie-ins.

[Bistol13]

Wasnt ocean a pretty good computer deveolper?

[Bistol13]

The gameplay is simulur to bionic commando.

[TheParaz]

this game was one of my favorite games for the Amiga. I was completely blown away by the graphics for that time...

[tyranitar007]

nice!

[GameSheriff]

I'm sorry, but the Mastermind mini-game part with the Joker's cosmetics seemed easy. In the Amiga version, where you lost, the right item was the green spray can on the right side of the screen.

[Djclyve]

Way to go, man! Another great review on a c64 game this time!

[gothblackout]

This one is closer to the arcade game that I saw .

[mattfanv1]

welcome back i missed u. even if you do sound like a robot. great review as aways

[PuntThePikachu]

No offence but wh review these old games when a handful of people play old games like these

[billios123]

old games are great

[whatsthatcar]

i thought it was odd when i spotted these reviews but it helps to make people not feel stupid watching acient games ;)

[Simon0]

cause the handful of people enjoy the review! Thats just one reason off the top of my head I am sure there are more reasons. E.g. the person who made the vid might have enjoyted it. May cause uninterested parties to become interested, etc.

[Ollyh22291]

Great Review

[elementor111111]

awesome
