Description

Batman Returns Atari Lynx

Batman Returns is a 1992 side-scrolling action-beat ’em up game developed and published by Atari for the Atari Lynx handheld console. Inspired by the 1992 film of the same name, it was released to coincide with the movie’s theatrical run. It was also included in some bundles of the Lynx II console. 
Gameplay
  • Action-beat ’em up: As Batman, players move through four progressively difficult, side-scrolling stages, fighting against various enemies.
  • Enemies: You will face off against the Red Triangle Gang, police on the rooftops, and Penguin’s forces.
  • Bosses: Each stage concludes with a boss fight against the film’s antagonists, including Catwoman and the Penguin.
  • Combat: Batman can use punches, kicks, and gadgets like batarangs and acid vials. The use of limited-supply gadgets requires collecting power-ups.
  • Difficulty: A major criticism of the game is its high difficulty level. With only one life, getting knocked down frequently by enemies is a common source of frustration for players. 
Reception and legacy
  • Mixed reviews: The game received a mixed reception from critics upon its release.
  • Praise: It was often praised for its presentation, detailed graphics, and sound design.
  • Criticism: Common complaints included the steep difficulty curve, repetitive gameplay, and unbalanced character animation. Some reviewers felt that the graphics, while detailed, made Batman’s sprite too large for the screen.
  • Rushed development: The game’s developers worked on a tight schedule to coincide with the movie’s release. This led to issues during development and potentially contributed to the game’s flaws.
  • Abrupt ending: The game has an infamously short ending screen, which was attributed to the development’s constrained timeline.
