BATMAN - THE CAPED CRUSADER 
 Ocean 1988

 CONTROLS : Keyboard, Kempston, Cursor
 ----------------------------------------------------------------------
 AIM : There are two separate "plots" revolving around Batman's deadliest
 enemies - The Penguin and The Joker:

 1) A Bird In The Hand  (BATMNCC1.Z80)
        - The Penguin, having been released from jail, decides to set up
         an umbrella factory in Gotham City, but (of course) is secretly
         using it as a cover for his plan to take over the world with an
         army of robot penguins! As Batman, can you shut down the factory
         computer and prevent the world from getting the bird?

 2) A Fete Worse Than Death  (BATMNCC2.Z80)
        - Robin has mysteriously disappeared, the only clue being a single 
         playing card left behind by his kidnapper - the Joker! On the
         flip side of the card is a message: "Robin heads for a fete worse
         than death, the fuse is lit - so don't waste your time, follow
         your nose and remember, there's no place like home! Boom! Boom!".
         Can you unravel the mystery, save Robin and defeat the Joker?

 GAMEPLAY : The presentation on screen simulates a comic strip with
 Gotham City and its inhabitants appearing in multiple overlaid panels.
 Any text (clues, descriptions etc.) is displayed in caption boxes in
 the appropriate panel. The player, as the Batman, has complete freedom
 to move around and interact with the numerous locations, solving puzzles
 en route.

  By pressing down and fire together, Batman will enter the utility
 screen. This displays all the objects which you have picked up and also
 the control icons which are used to manipulate them. (You can also
 change various aspects of the game's displays and sound effects at this
 point). Batman's energy status bars and the game completion percentage
 are also displayed on this screen. By moving the Bat-cursor onto the
 object and pressing fire, then pressing the Utilise icon in the same
 manner, that object will be used.

 COMMENTS : "A finely-honed arcade advennture which is surely the best
 comic licence ever - you'd be batty to miss it".
 RATING : 93% (CRASH #60, January 1989)

 NOW : An excellent (and graphically impressive) arcade adventure game.
