Jade Rambles: Tiger LCD Games

[JadePharaoh]

I just did the NES game, so let's have a look at the Tiger handheld version of Batman. As the Goddamned Batman, you move from left to right fighting off endless waves of Joker henchmen. However, as hard as I've tried I cannot make it far enough to talk about it as much as I'd like. This is the most pansy version of Batman I've ever seen as he dies in one hit from everything. His only method of attack is throwing Batarangs, and enemies can take at least a couple hits, with the Joker boss fight at the end of the first stage taking a couple dozen. The only power-ups I can see are bat emblems (which are again picked up by a separate button, rather than just running over them), which seem to fill a meter in the upper right which I think is a time limit. It's not a heath bar, since you die in one hit as previously mentioned, yet I noticed that it slowly empties to zero and that I died instantly when that happened. You have three lives; you might be able to get more by scoring enough points but I've never been able to get far enough to find out. I can only make it as far as stage 2 in this one. Overall, I'd say this is the least enjoyable game of the ones I've covered so far.
