    Y'know, I missed out on this game when it came out in the 80s. It was one of the best superhero games of all time and I missed it. Oh well, I've always got emulators to help me find these games...

    You know, a game needs to be really good to impress me early on. One of the best examples I can think of is SunSoft's video game adaptation of the Tim Burton 1989 classic; about halfway through the first level, I said it out loud: "This game... is fucking AWESOME!" That judgment didn't change a single bit for the rest of my time playing the game, as it's one of the best-looking and rewardingly difficult games on the NES. Even though it feels like a crappy movie tie-in, all of the elements of a great action-platformer hybrid are there to make it wholly worth playing. Tight and varied gameplay in the backdrop of the dark side of Gotham with stellar music make this one of the greatest licensed games ever made. Did I mention it's hard?

    Not sure how I made myself get through this without save states a few years back, to be honest. It has the makings of a great 8-bit action platformer, featuring excellent visuals and sound as well as pretty creative level design and fast gameplay. The wall jumping works very well for 1989. But the unresponsive jump controls (there's a delay, also making attacks not register when landing or jumping, and turning in mid-air is not immediate like you'd expect), sometimes sloppy hit detection, and cheap hits (leaps of faith) really get in the way of the actual challenge which is also quite high (especially at the end with two tough bosses in a row and no checkpoint or way to farm for health near before meeting them). Difficulty options or some way to upgrade your character could've made this much more enjoyable.
