When legendary cartoonist Frank Miller was asked by DC Comics to do a Batman graphic novel, the result was the now-legendary Batman: The Dark Knight - a book which is acknowledged by all as returning the Caped Crusader to his dark origins. This was the driving force behind Tim Burton's feature film Batman (1991), which kicked off the current film series and remains the best of the lot. The movies helped generate a new round of computer games centered on the grim Gotham vigilante, and the SNES saw its share (as did all the other major gaming plaforms). Three of the games in the SNES series are based on the feature films, while two lean more toward the original pre-Miller DC Comics series and one is based on the successful Miller-esque Warner animated TV series.
IMPRESSIONS: A decidedly mixed bag, even within the Sunsoft trio. The one must-have is Konami's Batman and Robin. If you like the feature films, try Batman Forever. The rest are forgettable; hoever, the unreleased Software Creations title is a nice novelty that is among the harder protos to track down.
VARIATIONS: The first Batman game (1991 by Sunsoft) was based on Tim Burton's feature film starring Michael Keaton, Kim Basenger, Jack Nicholson, and Jack Palance (in an Oscar- nominated supporting role). I can find no evidence of a SNES version, but a highly acclaimed NES game exists.
Batman: Revenge of the Joker - 1992 by Sunsoft. An in-house sequel using the Batman game engine. I'm told that this was not released in the United States, but it seems to have made it to the European market. The only noticeable improvements are in the graphics.
Batman Returns - 1992 by Sunsoft. This is the "official" sequel, based on the second feature film (only slightly inferior to the first) starring Michael Keaton, Michelle Pfeiffer (mee-OOWWWRRR!!!), and Danny DeVito. Slight but noticeable graphics and gameplay improvements built upon the same old cranky game engine as before.
Batman (unreleased) - 1994 by Software Creations. A shallow side-scroll fighter with only one playable level and cloned thugs almost twice the size of Batman. Let's just say it stinks - even by proto standards.
Batman and Robin, The Adventures of - 1994 by Konami. A beautiful programming adaptation of the Warner animated TV series, and the first game in the series in which the Boy Wonder appears. The European version features a technosynth soundtrack, while the American version has music adapted from the TV soundtrack.
Batman Forever - 1995 by Acclaim. Based on the overhyped feature film starring Val Kilmer, Chris McDonnell, Jim Carey, and Tommy Lee Jones, the only memorable features are the animated U2 music video and Carey's tag line: "Riddle me this, riddle me that - who's afraid of the big bad bat?!" The game smacks of a Mortal Kombat 3 ripoff, digitized graphics and all, but has the added bonus of a plot that actually makes sense. |

PREMISE: A fantasy-themed versus fighter along the same lines as the C64/Amiga game Barbarian by Epyx (not Psygnosis), but with a greater cast of characters.
IMPRESSIONS: This is what Weapon Lord should have looked like. If only its game engine were as good as that venerable G/MD title. The other big item is picking your fight spots off a map ala Shaq Fu, and therefore your various opponents as well. Mildly interesting. |

PREMISE: Takes the first-person scaling and rotating tracks of F-Zero and grafts a Road Warrior-esque racing theme on top, wasteland-style cars and all.
IMPRESSIONS: This is a horribly coded product that makes F-Zero look like the best racing game EVER. Sprites are chunky, animation is horrid, and BGMs are some of the worst music ever written. It's only saving grace is its name. Don't waste your time. |

Lightgun
PREMISE: An evil dictator and his army of henchmen are out to rule the world, but not if you have anything to say about it. You must blast your way up the Tower of Babel, destroying the enemy ST mecha as you go, for a final showdown with the power-mad despot. Specifically designed for use with the Super Scope.
IMPRESSIONS: Fairly playable but graphically weak, especially compared to Metal Combat. Try the sequel instead. |

IMPRESSIONS: Finally, our friend SD Gundam F91 gets his own game! It not be the pure action game that folks wanted, but it's still a great game. Makes you think, not merely act and react, and that's a welcome change of pace.
VARIATIONS: This is part of Banpresto's SD Gundam series; please see the SD Gundam series entry for a complete list of titles. |

PREMISE: A closed-circut hoverbike racing game.
IMPRESSIONS: This is one of those games where you have to deal with tiny racers on a track that fills the whole screen, such as those found in Super Off Road and Turbo Toons. If you don't mind that and the heavy Japanese texts, then it's a lot of fun. Has the expected high-quality graphics and sound in Japanese games, and the gameplay's fairly decent as well. |

PREMISE: Japanese-style full-court dodge ball featuring the cast of Banpresto's SD Battle series of games.
IMPRESSIONS: Yuck!!! I like dodgeball games, but these games simply SUCK. The gameplay is unimpressive, control is awkward, and there's just none of the fun stuff found in the old classic Super Dodge Ball for NES. Their one saving grace are the superdeformed charactures from all those Japanese TV shows. Other than that, be advised to stay away from them.
VARIATIONS: This is part of Banpresto's SD Battle series; please see the SD Battle series entry for a complete list of titles.
