Item Description

Few Genesis cartridges push the console as hard as this one. Sega's The Adventures of Batman & Robin, developed by Clockwork Tortoise and released in 1995, is a run-and-gun built on the animated series, and it is famous for visual effects that go well past what most Genesis games ever attempted.

Mr. Freeze plans to put all of Gotham City on ice, and to keep the Dynamic Duo busy he springs the Joker, Two-Face and the Mad Hatter, each with a scheme of his own. The Joker celebrates his birthday with a diamond-stealing rampage, Two-Face tries to seize the city from above, and the Mad Hatter builds a robot army in a surreal lair that makes for the game's most dreamlike stretch. Four levels, each made of several stages, mostly run left to right toward a waiting boss, and some sections switch to side-scrolling shooting at the controls of the Batwing.

Two players can fight side by side, one as Batman and one as Robin. The heroes play identically, with melee attacks up close and batarangs, bolas or shurikens at range, which makes co-op a true partnership of equals. You will need the help: Batman & Robin has a reputation as one of the hardest games on the Genesis to finish, and the screen fills with enemies and projectiles while the effects swirl around them. Driving it all is a pounding electronic soundtrack by Jesper Kyd, years before his scores for Hitman and Assassin's Creed.

It is a completely different game from Konami's Super NES title of the same name, and that is part of the appeal for Genesis owners: a late, technically fearless release that arrived as the 16-bit era was winding down and gave Sega's console a showpiece for its final years. For players who like their action hard and their hardware pushed to the edge, it is a standout of the Genesis library.

About the game

The Mega Drive/Genesis version, developed by Clockwork Tortoise and published by Sega, is a run 'n' gun where both Batman and Robin must stop Mr. Freeze, who plans to freeze Gotham City. In order to keep the duo busy, he also frees the Joker, Two-Face and the Mad Hatter, each one with their own agenda. The Joker celebrates his birthday wreaking havoc in Gotham and stealing diamonds, Two-Face tries to take over the city from above, and Mad Hatter is creating a robot army in his surreal lair. The game can be played by two players simultaneously; one player with Batman, and the other with Robin. Both characters are identical in terms of playability, and both use batarangs, bolas, or shurikens in long-range attacks, while using melee attacks at short range. There are four levels consisting of several stages, mostly of a straight left-to-right traverse to the end where the boss awaits. In some levels the game switches to a side-scrolling shooter, in which the players must control the Batwings. The game is regarded as being extremely difficult to complete, and also known for showcasing some of the most impressive special effects on the Mega Drive/Genesis.
