Game Description

The Joker, Clown Prince of Crime, has stolen vast quantities of precious metals from the mines of Gotham City. Police suspect that one of these metals is composed of a highly toxic explosive used for missiles. They are at their wit's end and are unable to capture The Joker, so they call on the one and only Dark Knight detective, Batman, to rid the town of this menace.

As Batman, you are equipped with Batarangs, sonic neutralizers, shield stars, and a crossbow as you battle the The Joker and his evil henchmen. Also, if Batman collects eight energy capsules, he'll become invincible, but only for a few seconds. The seven levels of play in this game take place at dangerous locations, including an old sky-high cathedral, The Joker's warehouse, a snowy mountain, a refinery, an underground conduit, an ammunition base, and a jungle island. A passcode feature lets you save your progress in the game, eliminating the need to repeat earlier levels every time you start a new game.
