Batman: The Video Game – Gameboy – Let’s Play

Batman: The Video Game was one of the games I got when I bought my Gameboy off my neighbour in around 1990/1991, therefore this game has a lot of nostalgia for me.

It’s a great little shooting platformer with a couple of side scrolling shoot ’em up stages when you get to control the Batwing.

There’s strategy involved in what pickups to collect, as you can upgrade your gun (I like the batarang gun best), but also downgrade it if you’re not too careful. I’ve never completed this game, but can pretty much always get to stage 4-2 which is annoyingly an autoscroller which I just cannot beat! It’s the final stage before the last boss, so I am agonisingly close to completing it, but I just cannot do it!

Equipment:

• Everdrive GB X7 cartridge in a Super Gameboy
• Played on an Analogue Super NT
• 8BitDo SN30 gamepad
