System: TurboGrafX 16
Cheats Used: None
In 1989 when Tim Burton’s Batman film was released, there were several videogames released for multiple systems as tie-ins, as well as an excellent arcade game. The Turbo game, unfortunately, never made it out of Japan and that’s a shame because it’s a fun little game that every batfan should have in their collection.
Every other Batman game was a side-scrolling beat-em-up, but for this one, Sunsoft decided to try something a little different. Instead of being a side-scroller, this game is viewed from a top-down perspective. In each level you go around collecting all of the Joker’s chemicals, dodging his henchmen along the way. You can stun the henchmen with your batarangs and knock them off the screen for points, but they respawn infinitely so it’s better to just knock out the ones in your way and ignore the rest. Once you’ve collected everything in a level (indicated by a counter in the bottom right corner of the screen), you move on to the next. The game does get repetitive, but it’s still a lot of fun and if you like arcade-style games, this is one of the better ones on the system.
