Batman

The caped crusader appears on the console scene once again, but in a totally different form from his previous incarnations.

This game is reminiscent of Super Mario-Land, as Batman jumps and shoots his way through the platform world. Along the way, our nocturnal friend is molested by thugs, robots, and the Joker himself. There's even a Batwing section in which the Dark Knight shoots down 'copters. Don't forget to grab all the power-ups you can - you'll need them!

Another great Gameboy platform game, with a real sense of humour - the main sprite is hilarious! Not only that, but the play is superb; the locations all have a distinctive look, and the array of tokens to be collected makes for difficult decisions - so much the better!

I like this a lot - it's sort of Super Mario-Land with guns! Mario-Land and Batman are very similar in appearance, but there's more variety in this. The graphics are excellent, and the gameplay is both challenging and addictive, and there are plenty of different weapons to try out. Highly recommended.
