29th March 2005: Angelo Salese - Thanks to kindy help of Runik I've finally got Batman Forever (ST-V game) to run! There is no sound (mainly because it uses a different type of sound HW), and obviously is shitty slow because of the power of the HW (6% on my machine with the debugger).

0.68: Added Batman Forever (Testdriver).

history

Batman Forever (c) 1996 Acclaim.

A side scrolling beat'em-up for 1 or 2 players based on the movie of the same name, featuring the Dark Knight and his side-kick, Robin. Players control either Batman or Robin as they fight their way through numerous stages, facing battles with two of Batman's notorious, 'Two-Face' and 'The Riddler'.

Numerous weapons can be used throughout the game to aid Batman in his quest; including the Bat-a-rang, Batrope, Gas Gun, and the Metal Cutter. Batman can reach high platforms with the use of the Batrope.

The game's movie license is used to full effect, with intermission scenes featuring digitized voices from the film's actors, as well as photo stills taken directly from the movie.
