Batman: The Video Game 1989

Is it still worth playing?

Tied to the 1989 film, though its plot has little in common with the movie, this platformer for the Nintendo Entertainment System has five levels. They are the Gotham City streets, the Axis Chemical Plant, the Gotham sewers, a mysterious laboratory and the Gotham Cathedral belltower. Batman can perform a wall jump and uses three projectile weapons, the batarang, batdisk and batpoon, powered by pellet cartridges. Villains from the DC Universe such as Deadshot, KGBeast and Heat Wave appear as low-level minions. The bosses include Killer Moth, Electrocutioner, Firebug and the Joker. Wall jumps and three weapons to choose from still make a stage worth planning today.
