Batman: The Video Game (Nintendo, 1990)

Some of you may prefer Batman Returns on the SNES for being a great beat 'em up, and that's cool. It's a great game I agree. There's nothing like the original Batman for the NES. The music is... amazing. I know that sounds silly considering it's 8 bit, but yeah it's awesome! In this game you of course play Batman, you have four different weapons you use, a batarang, a gun and some kind of weapon that shoots three projectiles. It's a pretty tough game. The good thing is you can constantly continue, but if you fall in the wrong place it can cost you a lot of progress. The most fun aspect of this game is that you can leap off the walls, and in a narrow space you can ascend pretty quickly. This game gets very difficult fast. It only consists of five stages, with lots of environmental obstacles, jumping enemies, robots that drop things from the ceiling and all kinds of other killer obstacles. This is very challenging but still very fun game even after almost 20 years.
