Mega Drive Longplay [096] Batman

www.longplays.org
Played by: Spazbo4
This game was a lot easier than the nes version, except for the bosses which took forever because I had to wait for them to attack first, except for the joker.
I never got touched, but I did die on purpose to get 3 extra lives. -

Best soundtrack and good memories as a kid one my favourite games

[@marksassaman4820]

ABSOLUTELY!! I ALWAYS remembered and loved the soundtrack man, the music with the fire breathing clowns I could still remember like yesterday lol, 25 years ago

[@NicholasWingoldenkiwi2095]

@@marksassaman4820 Too True Too true this music score from the video game could definitely sound more awesome if it was nicely composed with a symphony orchestra and I reckon it's worth getting a good composer on board to conduct this ideal music for a Live-Action Batman film then again this music is very ideal yet it will be just as subtle

I always appreciate a good longplay video. Very helpful stuff. I just wanted to point out, for those unaware, that the white-noise sound effect when Batman strikes the enemies is not the correct sound effect and is an issue with the emulation in this case.

[@Bloodreign1]

It's supposed to have a thump sound, other emulators these guys don't use have the correct sound effect, much like the game on a real Genesis.

[@Wil_Dsense]

Helpful thanks. How damn cheeky playing on emulation and not original hardware and not clearly mentioning it.

[@Marc-so2cd]

I once got this game when a guy was selling Mega Drive games in our block back in the 90s. What a cool game to play.

[@uptowndanram6753]

The reason why Batman (Genesis) was released two years after the movie was due to Nintendo holding exclusive console rights to the first Batman movie circa 1989-1990, preventing any other games based on the movie from being released (such as the Genesis and PC Engine versions). Sunsoft waited until the exclusivity agreement ran out to belatedly release Genesis Batman (which had been released over a year earlier in Japan).

[@oneyedthing]

Couldnt remember the late release but the first Batman movie appeal lasted a couple of years, that the game felt like it was on time

[@robertalexandru6254]

I was 5 years old when i played this. Legendary game , and good old memories!

Get Genesis "EVERDRIVE" cartridge with SD card slot. With this you can put any game rom and play it on Original Megadrive or Genesis hardware, like regular cartridge.

[@greenkitty82]

You may already have a copy now but eBay are always having copies up for sale. I'm trying to build up my collection and get some games back that I stupidly got rid of in the early 00s because I wanted to move onto a PlayStation. How stupid I was, now I'm wanting my childhood games back! 😁

[@NicholasWingoldenkiwi2095]

You might be right about that Steven Dalzell then again if a symphony orchestra made the music from this video game sound even better it could just as well be something to put into the Live-Action Batman Films yet Superman: Man Of Steel would've worked better than just Man Of Steel Alone in the title if I may say so myself still very subtle

[@AshBloodfire]

New comment, five years later. The Joker asked Batman if he wanted to hear a joke.Batman said he had a real knee. The Joker said, don't you mean a real knee slapper? The answer was no, Joker heard him right the first time.

[@Wil_Dsense]

What , I don’t get the joke m8. Or maby it was so funny that I forgot to laugh. Not sure

[@AshBloodfire]

@@Wil_Dsense A 'knee slapper' is a term for something funny, based on someone literally slapping their knee while laughing. The player of the game defeated the Joker by hitting him over and over with a leaping knee strike. Hence, "a real knee".

Best movie based Batman video game ever made,in my opinion.

[@Donscottmusic]

***** Both of those versions are good too. The NES game didn't really have a lot to do with the movie as far as storyline goes,but it's still a great game. The only Batman(1989) video game that I didn't care for,was the one for Game Boy(which I own). I didn't like how Batman used a gun to shoot enemies,compared to using combat instead.

[@farazhuq5568]

I always see boxing being demonstrated in old, vintage games better than in newer games. Just look at the first boss. Crisp straights, rapidly closing the distance keeping his chin tucked in and then a short uppercut. Immaculate technique. In King of Fighters 97, Heavy D has the best boxing stance I’ve seen from a boxer in a video game. Boxing always shone brighter on pixelated 2d games.

[@Rakiarmas]

Childhood favorite. I use to loan this game many times from a schoolfriend of mine. I played it alot & always enjoyed playing it. I was very good in this game too. Beating this game wasn't a problem to me back then. Took me many years that I manage to get this game again & play it today. I was so happy.

*INVECTIVE DELETED* YOU, JOKER! Just looked up the Batman Wiki on that fiend. As it turns out, the arch-nemesis of Batman has several origins, including that of Jack Napier, and the Red Hood. Is there *NOTHING DEFINITE* that can thoroughly describe him and his madness? Oh, and on the subject of the game itself, I didn't play this version much, but the music's good; Sunsoft's sound team were quite formidable, back in the day.

[@EdsterIII]

These games have such a nostalgic feel and look. The Original Sega Master System, the Mega Drive/Genesis, all were so iconic in the graphical improvements. I can remember getting my first NES back in 1985 for Christmas.🎄🎁 I was so stoked. My Dad and I played Duck Hunt for over an hour and my Pop KICKED BUTT! So many wonderful memories and so many great stories came from these systems and games. It was a great time to be alive and a better time to be a kid. If you were between the ages of 5 and 18 in 1985 you were set for a decade of fun and technological advances that would blow your mind! That and the BEST MUSIC EVER was produced from 1978-1992. Epic times and great days! From movies, to arcades, to ROCK CONCERTS, to cruising the "strip", it was a time to be young and have fun!

[@Mrster]

Museum level should have started with Batman crashing through the ceiling next to Joker and Vicki as joker grabs her arm and runs off. Then the level progresses as you pursue them. Boss battle plays out the same with the big guy and Joker laughing with vicki hostage on a balcony looking down at the fight. Once you beat him, Vicki yanks her arm away and joker runs off. Vicki jumps down and you catch her. You then proceed to escape to the batmobile and the pursuit begins. That's how I would have designed it.
