Official film licence movie to game conversion of Batman (1989) to the Amstrad CPC! And this is my 2nd "live review" whilst playing the game to completion! Hope you enjoy - this is one the greatest ever movie to game conversions, probably the best of the 80's just pipping Robocop to the post for me! The Amstrad version is superb with lovely colourful graphics, smooth gameplay and scrolling, great sprites and wonderful music and sfx. This of course is based on Tim Burton's 1989 movie with Jack Nicholson as the Joker and Michael Keaton as Batman, and I think it captures the spirit and atmosphere of the movie superbly. Not to be confused with the earlier two Batman games on the Amstrad ("Batman" being Jon Ritman and Bernie Drummonds isometric adventure before Head Over Heels came along, and "Batman The Caped Crusader" another arcade adventure which follows the old comic books style). cpc-power.com www.imdb.com (http://www.imdb.com) | From: Xyphoe (http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=Xyphoe) Views: 1 (http://gdata.youtube.com/static/images/icn_star_empty_11x11.gif) (http://gdata.youtube.com/static/images/icn_star_empty_11x11.gif) (http://gdata.youtube.com/static/images/icn_star_empty_11x11.gif) (http://gdata.youtube.com/static/images/icn_star_empty_11x11.gif) (http://gdata.youtube.com/static/images/icn_star_empty_11x11.gif) 0 ratings |

Ah, great memories and game.
Anyone know if it's hardware scrolling?

It's interesting about the bleeper comment for the spectrum when it came to sound fx and music. There is a noise channel on the CPC and I wonder if they could of used it in a similar way?
Quote from: Xyphoe on 13:37, 25 April 11Yep, white noise on the AY takes one of the channels and I think it's used for the drums in the music anyway. The spectrum has the extra beeper capability, so can get away with a bit more than the CPC.
If so I think the point is the Spectrum + series had the AY chip installed but kept the old 'beeper/buzzer' so could use both with clever programming.
Quote from: Xyphoe on 13:37, 25 April 11You can do that, not sure it's terribly good for the longevity of the tape motor though. And you'd not get sound effects on a 6128 either.
Another thing the CPC could do and used rarely (I guess because it could wear it out) was use the tape drive motor to make sounds! I can't remember which games used this. I do remember writing a BASIC program years ago to make the tape motor go 'click' on command.
