luke cage that’s entirely the point of this discussion. CS wasn’t an online only service dependant release. Games shouldn’t depend on servers to play regardless of how good or bad
This game was my childhood. I was so in love with it despite not knowing how to get the gadgets to work. I got past the circus but don't recall what's past it.
I remember having this as a kid, I had the Genesis version. Sometimes I'd play and get as far as the third level, sometimes I wouldn't make it past the gap in the floor.
I played this when I was like 3 or 4 years old on my Sega Genesis. I was never able to make it past that second room. Never figured out what to do. Lol
Bad luck. I had a walkthrough in some book or something that explained the moves and all pretty well, I was able to go quite a distance but the game is quite tough and as I was a kid back then I just didn't have the patience to sit through it.
@@AbrahamZX1 Uh, the only Sonic games I could beat to this day are Sonic 3D blast and Sonic Heroes. I just didn't have the patience to beat the other ones because I always managed to die in a dumb way somewhere near the end of the game. And 3D blast is my favourite Sonic game anyway.
Oof. I remember playing this on SNES when I was a kid. I remember it being one of the first games that I could tell, even from an early age, the problem wasn’t I was bad at the game, the game was just terrible. I still played through it though, because it was one of the few games my parents got me.
Same here. I got this for X-mas back in the day. A shortage of of cash in conjunction with a surplus of free time usually meant I grit my teeth and soldiered through whatever game I had at the time. I also had the Batman Forever Arcade game. Thought it was utterly rotten actually.
Loved this upload. Actually went and looked up a long play just to see how u get past that circus tent bomb stage u guys got stuck on, turns out u climb the rope ladder on the right upper platform. I doubt Lewis&Clark could navigate this game it’s that absurdly backwards in level design🤣
Pelger You made it farther than I ever did. I had the genesis/mega drive version and never made it past the first stage. It was a frustrating experience to be sure😅
This game is one of the reasons I laugh when someone says games like Mass Effect Andromeda, Left Alive, Anthem, and so on are terrible games. They are all flawless masterpieces compared to this... thing.
@@SkinnyBlackout Batman Forever literally has a progression required mechanic that doesn't work 9 times out of 10. On top of atrocious gameplay, awful music, repulsive visuals, incomprehensible level design, baffling controls, and annoying enemies. There is not a single redeeming feature of this game, I can think of at least three for the other games I listed.
@@DarkMProductions It may be mediocre, but at least it works. So, just because of that alone this game is better than andromeda and anthem, which are both mediocre and are buggy piles of shit. As far as left alive goes, I'd rather replay Front Mission 3, because it's by far the best game in this universe.
I played this on the megadrive way back in the day. It's encouraging to see you guys struggle at the exact same things I did when I first played this game. I never got much further than you guys did in this game after all those years. What a god awful game.
This was one of my most favourite games as a kid. For some reason I never remembered having an issue with the grappling hook, but last time I tried to play the game I was like wtf am I doing wrong!?
Here just to say; I completed this bloody thing as a kid, on PC. I know, the saddest flex in the history of the universe. Such a masterclass of bad controls.
That is not scaffolding they are on, that's a giant safe that two faced tries to steal literally at the start of the movie. Also, their is a small parts of a circus in the movie. Its how they introduce Robin as his parents are killed when they were working at the circus.
You both don't seem to remember the introduction of the movie was with two face robbing a bank and extracting a large bank vault using a helicopter. The large metal vault was what you both were standing on while fighting the bad guys. Fighting those guys on the moving vault did not happen in the movie, Robin wasn't even introduced yet at that point in the movie. I remember enjoying Batman returns on the SNES but didn't like Batman forever when I played it at a friends house
9:54 I switched the video to 60fps expecting that beam of light (?) to flicker instead of outright block your view. Is that a CRT screen + recording issue, or the game just trolls you like that?
Stumbled upon the fact that this was ported to PC earlier last year but when hunting down a copy, not sure I could say anything I found was cheap. Then again, anything more obscure I seem to have issue finding big box copies in UK.
"To shoot up you press select and up in a very specific way, you have to press select slightly before you press jump. But if you press them both at the same time he just jumps. Thats a good reason why the jump button shouldnt be UP, WHY CANT IT BE ONE OF THE FUCKING BUTTONS!? HAVING THE FUCKING UP BUTTON JUMP IS FUCKING FUCKED UP!!!"
This is the version I played as a kid, it was a hard game to get working and I don't think I got very far. Was fun watching to figure out what I remember / don't remember.
I had it on the Genesis, and despite me being a Batman fan, I think I got a copy for free from someone who got it directly from Acclaim. Acclaim’s HQ was in my hometown, and as a kid growing up in the 90s I would describe it with one word: rad. This game however was not. Also the building used for Wayne Manor for this film, and in the show Gotham, was also in my hometown. Also got work there, so that was also pretty rad.
Since The Last of Us Part II is coming, I would like to see DF Retro episode about Naughty Dog evolution. We all know recent history, Uncharted, TLoU, we all know Crash, but what about Jak and Daxter trilogy? These games were awsome, since first game they pushed PS2 to the limits - 60 fps, vast areas, no loadings between areas. In my humble opinion Jak III was one of the best looking PS2 games. Also ND evolved from making colorful platform games to more darker story and gameplay based heavily on shooting. C'mon DF, many of us growed up as players on PS2/Xbox era, it would be really nice to see sometimes something from this period of time, something more modern but yeah, classic already, time is cruel, but it's nice to bring memories back and I think, I know you will get a lot of fun playing this games again :)
Oh, I remember playing this game on the snes. I didn't have a very good time lol. At least I just rented it for the weekend instead of buying it. Dodged a bullet on this one.
This was obviously not developed with PC as the lead platform in mind. You can see that the animations play way too fast in the PC version, which might be because the framerate is different (not sure). It looks way more accurate in the SNES version, and personally I think the SNES version actually looks better.
Serious respect to you guys for putting yourselves through some of the worst games of the 90's, it's nice to know that these titles were actually horrendous. You guys are also providing a wonderful public service conveying just how bloody refined modern games are compared to the sea of totally broken nonsense that was a lot of the 90's PC scene.
Man, I remember reading about this game in Gamepro magazine when it came out. I vaguely remember thinking it looked pretty cool, and I was kind of a fan of the movie, so I'm pretty sure it was one of those games on my Sega game wish list. Pretty glad I never ended up getting it.
@Digital Foundry: plz make a true PC to SNES comparison, because the game *DOES NOT* look better on the PC, thats for sure! 80% of GFX are bugged or not included.
I loved this game as a kid. One of us using WASD and the other using num keys. The best parts of the game were all the gadgets and versus mode. The worst part was the timed level.
I don't think I ever owned an Acclaim game on the PC that worked satisfactorily when I was a kid. X-Men Cota, Alien Trilogy, and a bunch of others. It either never ran at all, had screen issues, worked on one of but not another. It was such a hit or miss with them. 3d Realms, id, and many others never had issues on what ever PC I ran on granted the specs were right
Played this at a SNES kiosk back in the day. I had absolutely no clue how to move between floors on the first stage, but I managed to brute force the solution somehow. I only made it to the circus level, then I gave up. I knew this game was awful even as a kid.
I grew up with this game, back when i didn’t understand English very well and i didn’t bother to read the manual, i figured the grappling and going down pretty quickly. I have no fucking idea why everyone is having so much problems with the controls.. Exaggertating to make it sound worse maybe. And no, you don’t have to press the hook button and UP exactly at the same time, first you press the hook and then UP.
This game is only bad because it doesn’t feature Kiss from a Rose playing at all times for improved gameplay

I remember when games came with beefy manuals. Then jewel case inserts. Then a command card. Then nothing.
Yeah, even in the 360/PS3 era the some game manuals featured concept art and background histories for the characters.
