Batman The Movie (ZX Spectrum) - Full experience

[@Andrew-dp5kf]

11:23 Ahh the excitement and anticipation of finding out if the tape copied correctly of or if you had to have *another* got at a different volume. Takes me back!

[@pwmxxx]

Those where the good old days.

[@Lowlander-ci7is]

Hearing loading sounds makes me smile everytime :-)

[@RT-zk7yr]

It does in a way. Then reminds me how annoyed how long it took ha.

[@desdevitalyconamor7009]

yeah, not exactly annoying...nostalgic vibes. time flies. Ive started crying...it is a poetry nowadays

[@christoffbiscotti4825]

the music in this is just mindblowing

[@MrGaableenz]

This loading sound was my very first thrash metal in early 90´.

[@mikekaraoke]

Shame you didn't play this in the 80's in 89!

[@meinnnit]

I had seen this load sequence so many times due to tape errors I used to sing along with it!

[@beddoerocks7509]

that loading noise.....the sound of my childhood

[@cesardominguez]

GROAR-RR!! I'm awaiting for the "R Tape Loading ERROR"!!

[@KnowYoutheDukeofArgyll1841]

Yes, you wait patiently for the game to load...and then that bloody error message pops up. Reset and start again with mixed fortunes.

[@cesardominguez]

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!

[@vadiquemyself]

R tape loading error... it means you can go outside with your friends or help cooking with your mom

[@windsweeper8002]

Only a mind as deranged as the Joker would record the 11 minute loading screen...

[@alikadrialkhateeb6292]

After 37 years I realize that speedlock is not for a game faster loading, it is for protecting game from copying.

[@AlexanderSeven]

This game had perfect AY music.

[@amstraidotodoeldia2262]

Yo le di mucho en el Amstrad. Para mí un top five . La música, el scroll, los gráficos, la curva de dificultad...... Ocean llegó a lo más alto. No me pude pasar la fase en la que había que cortar los globos, aunque creo recordar que pulsando ed209 podías pasar de fase.Gran trabajo el tuyo por colgarnos todos estos vídeos.saludos!

[@gertachimrenel595]

The music sounds better than the Atari ST version despite having the same soundchip. It's rather close to the amazing C64 sound.

[@WallKenshiro]

That menu music goes hard as hell. I mostly hated my Specy as a kid, and couldn't wait to get a NES, but I always appreciated the music in the Ocean games I had for it.

[@sean9115]

Those load screens take me back !

[@LoLzZ85]

A better game than Robocop with a bit more variety to gameplay and more tunes. Mike Lamb certainly had a successful time with Ocean with this, Robocop, Target Renegade, Wec Le Mans among others

[@joseunico8182]

Esta es una de mis versiones favoritas del Batman.Las bandas sonoras son alucinantes y la jugabilidad lo mejor.Junto con Robocop que le eche casi las mismas horas.

I used to see the message "R Tape Loading Error" so many times back in the 80s and was like "What the actual fuck?!"

[@AlanAHAPartridge]

Love that loading sound 😂

[@MegatonDan]

So the Batmobile level just has you going in circles? That's just like the movie when they drive around the Warner lot and the Monarch theatre 5 times.

[@johnmcgill6011]

Batman has every high score

[@MrNinjy]

To experience a game to the fullest you have to listen to it's entire code :)

[@guitarste]

Music is superb on this

[@CloneShockTrooper]

Wow.. nostalgia

[@RT-zk7yr]

What was the reason for the loading sound? Like why did it make that actual noise? Lol

[@SouthwesternEagle]

This game is roughly 110 kilobytes in size according to my research.

[@AshleyPomeroy]

I used to love the fairground music at 22:29 - it's beepy but it captures something of the original score.

[@bennyhaha66]

Did the loading sound honestly need to be audible? Lol

[@davarosmith1334]

I played this , it took me ages to get past level 1! I couldn't get past 2! The loading time was annoying though , so I tried but no cigar!

[@MaximusPanin]

Nostalgia :)

[@Anthony1uk]

11mins 30 seconds to load. And yet kids these days complain that it takes over 10 seconds for games to load up.

[@gilbertopenatoca1525]

De lo mejorcito que recuerdo para spectrum❤️

[@pavelratatoskov]

I loved this game!

[@M_M_F]

Mike Lamb, that genius.

[@dlfrsilver]

On Amstrad CPC, that is :)

[@caprilaser3]

Can you tell me how this you managed to capture the video signal. Cheers

[@EnriqueGGalvez]

RetroDave Nintendo I recorded the ZX Spectrum emulator called Spectaculator and one of this record method: -Nvidia Shadowplay -Mirillis Action! -Hauppauge HD VPR Rocket. In this video, i used Spectaculator + Mirillis Action!

[@Amiga1200Mark]

loaded quicker on the C64 from memory. I never had a spectrum but this kickstarter ZX Spectrum next looks very intetesting

[@stewsretroreviews]

Good game and class music for a speccy!!

[@josedourado3747]

the music was like in the Atari st lol

[@AllGamingStarred]

so i played where time stood still. is it usual for spectrum games to be slow or is it a quirk of ZXSpin?

[@lordbiffington]

So I guess this was pretty much the routine with every game you had on tape format right?

[@Seriousatari]

Great video.. Would you really hear the tape loading at 300 baud like that on the title screen with the original hardware?

[@josedourado3747]

yes

[@moginn2]

It's loading 10 minutes!!! This can't be possible... Do all spectrum games happen the same?

[@CooCuMbEr]

Marc Oliveras I had a Amstrad CPC464 and it was exactly the same.... genius really how a game can be loaded and played through sounds off of a audio tape!

[@KnightmareUSA]

+Marc Oliveras No different to the games of today, they varied quite a bit although I think games generally got bigger (especially for those games that were 128k). On average I think you would be lucky if games were under 4 mins, around the late 80s-early 90s. Some cassette software had a higher pitched loading sound than the above though, which I suspect was some sort of optimised fast-load. After 1990 I think just about every kid or early teen ditched their 8-bit gear to annoy-convince their parents to buy them a Sega Megadrive :)

[@josedourado3747]

+MrVidification it was called turbo load and it was easier to fail to load the game at the slightest interference. we suffered alot :)

[@josedourado3747]

+MrVidification I was able to convince my parents into buy me an Amiga with some emotional blackmail lolololol

[@pedrotimoteo329]

Many multi-load games loaded up all the levels at once on a Speccy 128k. On a 48k machine, this game would load the first level more quickly, but then say "press play on tape" after finishing it. And if you lost all lives in level 2, it'd say "rewind tape and press play" to go back to the first level. 128k forever. :)

[@METALL_SURGERY]

Мэтью Кэнном писал крутой музон для Спектрума!!!

[@benadams6555]

I loved this game when I was a kid. I remember the graphics bing amazing! At the time it was top end gaming! Only made by 3 guys!

[@josedourado3747]

one of the best games in spectrum 128k

[@mikekaraoke]

Well for the Spectrum yeah, as you had many others that were ahead in graphics like: Nintendo(NES), Sega: Master System, Atari ST, Amiga 500....etc

[@digisoldierlive1627]

aw that sound of the game loading lol so happy to hear that. Hey, you seem to be the guy to ask, i used to have a wee book with my spectrum and i would sit for hours (i was about 5) copying all the commands line after line, then once i copied every line i would press enter/return and a pattern would be displayed on the screen. do you know what the book is called by anychance?

[@doncristobalaspee5925]

+SINGLE DAD, GAMING MAD It could be any of the "learn basic programming" books for the spectrum, or even the manual that came with it.

[@KnightmareUSA]

+SINGLE DAD, GAMING MAD If you are bored, google and install Spectaculator. After setting it to +2 or +2A mode, enter BASIC from the menu, and type: 10 for f=1 TO 255 STEP 10 20 PLOT 0,0: DRAW f,175: PLOT 255,0: DRAW -f,175 30 NEXT f Press enter after each line, then type RUN and enter. I still remember that one, it was a pattern in the +2 manual. Lowering the 'steps' would give a more detailed image :)

[@PashaDefragzor]

cool, never played this tape

[@mosaica_art]

Это хрень работает на тех кто делал прививки ?

[@simonyonker]

Loading it takes longer than completing it!

[@srg.graphouni6628]

Loaded a lot faster on my 128K ZX Spectrum

[@SYKO666]

Bought this for my new spectrum 128k, cost £9.99 from wh smith.

una pasada este the movie aunq el de.jhon ritman lo tapa pero creo q es enorme q bueno este juegazo

[@LUCKO2022]

Smoother scrolling than the C64 version. Music is better on the C64 version though.

[@javier6378]

que maravilla de carga, que recuerdos

[@voidofdeth-nirv8171]

Patience.

[@Niiloisnumber1]

Holy smokes Batman! Is that fat man in batsuit Mark David Chapman? ...Cool.

[@TheAjg1983]

The music sounds like Game Gear ish

[@gwishart]

They both had very similar sound hardware, with very similar capabilities: ZX Spectrum: General Instrument AY-3-8910. Game Gear: Texas Instruments SN76489 Ironically the Spectrum had a slight advantage over the Game Gear in the audio stakes, since the Spectrum could still make use of the 1-bit beeper to create sound effects; instead of having to mix it with the music on the audio channels.

[@AxBattler_MD]

AUTÉNTICO!!!

[@D0S81]

wow, i remember the loading screens/times. and now we're all triggered n shit if a game takes like...more than ten seconds to load. lol

[@EnriqueGGalvez]

yes

[@AngieFromCanada]

The noise! Like listening to a modem again! nooooooo my ears!! Had to skip to 11:23

[@Zarzote]

thanks :)

[@shadowdancerRFW]

I had a ZX Spectrum with diskettes, hehe.

[@josedourado3747]

I never saw those disks.
