Game Description
Fans of the comic book and television superhero Batman were treated to an action-packed game in 1996 when Acclaim published Batman Forever: The Arcade Game, based on Batman's third movie appearance. Two-Face and his cohorts are causing no end of trouble for Gotham City, and once again it's up to the Caped Crusader (with a little help from players) to throw a monkey wrench into their scheme. A side-scrolling 2D beat-'em-up, this title wasn't popular because of any innovations or the storyline, but rather because of the simple yet entertaining game play.Taking on the role of either Batman or Robin, players must use a variety of attacks to beat the waves of enemies that attack them into submission. Special weapons such as batarangs (boomerangs), guns, etc., can be found in abundance, and massive combinations of moves can be applied to enemies (up to and including 150 hits on a single villain). The game is sectioned off into stages, and after progressing through each stage of enemies, players must face off with a boss character who must be defeated before they can proceed to the next level. Play continues in this manner for several stages until the climax of the game faces players off against the head honchos of the evil empire.
