Batman the Caped Crusader C64 Penguin Campaign

Here's a longplay of Batman - the Caped Crusader for the C64.
This game has two campaigns, one on each side of the tape.
They are the Penguin campaign and the Joker Campaign.
This is the Penguin campaign, I also uploaded the Joker one (see my other vids).

Had this tape as part of a bundle I got with my c64. Also came with a light gun & 3 crap games.

What really pissed me off is that Commodore didn't include a joystick, so for the first few months of owning my c64 I was using the keyboard.

Playing Batman on the keyboard was HELL. It took me so long to figure out how to climb the outside of buildings!

Regarding the music, now I remember why I turned it off. The repetition is annoying. Why couldn't the programmers just let the theme play through?

I also got this game in that bundle with the lightgun and the lightgun games :D

Sadly the aim of my lightgun was a bit off though.

I like the environments in the Joker campaign better though.. I always had a thing for evil funparks :D

The poor music programmer must have biten his own ass when he realised that the best part of his music would not even be played most of the time because of the stupid music reset whenever you pick something up.

Brings back so much memories.

Was a great rush to like eventually find your way into the buildings, as if youre in a secret hideout place as a kid.

This game had such a unique style of cutting between scenes love the way theyre left shadowed in the background.

I used prefer this campaign because it was the only one i could beat!

Laffer your videos are great!

0:27 "You now have the hand-grenade." WHAT??? Why couldn't this be unlocked in Arkham City???

Computer stopped?! Well thank fuck for that!

God bless the days where you could finish computer games in under 10 minutes...

@rtrgrl78 Cool! I tend to live life in the past too from time to time, but it's all good. I've always been interested in my own history, like when I was a 18 I rediscovered all the music from my childhood, bands like Depeche Mode!

Our own history can tell us so much about who we are today, and it's always nice to have little reminders of those times.

@Jarren202 Hey it's Ok I just remember that particular gift as it was started me loving games more, I remember it being a fantastic starting pack. It will be moving with me soon from my old spare room and room I had when I was kid up to my house. If it goes in the attic will be all wrapped up safe. Can't bear to throw it out. Love this video, never did play it through properly. I think I may live a little in the past : P ! x

@rtrgrl78 oops, I just googled "commodore 64 light fantastic" and you're quite right, SEUCK was indeed included!

My memory just isn't what it used to be! :P

[Jarren202]

@rtrgrl78 Yep that's the one I had too. I think I loaded up the typing program once and never again! I must have got my Light Fantastic pack around '89-'90, as I do remember still being in primary school (P7).

I remember the music program too, didn't it have a big hand waving over the screen? Bloody confusing enough for a 10-year-old without any musical training! I had SEUCK too, but I don't think it came with the LF pack.

The pack after ours, "Night Moves / Mind Benders" was much better.

[rtrgrl78]

@Jarren202 Ha same here, I got some other games with the bundle, like Typing game, Music builder game, Shoot 'em Up Construction Kit and a few other games. I think it was called the 'Light Fantastic Pack' or something. I think I got mine around '88 or '89 and have still got all the games, including this one and and the liight gun. But not the original packaging.

I'd laugh if it turned out there was never a final percentage point. Seems like the kind of thing to expect from a game that couldn't get the music implemented properly.

@Jarren202 We got this in a bundle aswell, we got a joystick with ours though, no gun
