You will have to run and jump through a series of levels while taking out the Joker's henchmen along the way. Like any good superhero, you can dispatch the enemies with your batarang. In each level, there are also a number of power-ups that will give you improved weapons or extra lives. Can Batman get through all of the levels and defeat the Joker? Find out by playing Batman.

Good But Needs Work
While not an easy game to play, it is fun and hopefully I can get better in playing it so I'll keep it at least for now. One real problem I have with the game is with the cartridge specifically the front sticker label and as result of certain issues, I will need to invest in getting a front replacement sticker label for the game. Sincerely, Kevin Stroik

Excellent Piece to have for your NES Collection
I've been an avid gamer for the last 20+ years, unfortunately I missed out on this gem of a game as I grew up with the SNES. But now that I'm adult I finally enjoy this great title. More over, I highly recommend visiting Omnomax for your classic gaming and comic needs.

Outstanding cartridge of Batman™ on the original nes
Tough just like the name sake Batman on the original Nintendo is an outstanding but difficult game, the damage taken can be quite unforgiving by the multiple enemies everywhere. It is fun but tasking at the same time grab your favorite add-on cart and put in some codes.

I don't know if it is the age of the game or what, but it is glitchy. Works sometimes, than others not at all. We have cleaned it a few times. My son likes playing it but has only gotten to play it a few times before it stops working again.

Superb retro batman title
If you like retro platformers, look no further. This is one of the best action platformers of the 8-bit era. Granted there are only a handful of moves/weapons (3 weapons and a punch), but each of them are used/needed for various situations throughout the game. The game itself plays a little like the Ninja Gaiden games and is very challenging, but not as difficult as said series. The dark moody graphics are pretty good for the NES and the music is very catchy. Boss fights are typical pattern based fights and require both memorization and skill to defeat. My favorite part of the game involves the superb wall-jumping mechanic which is used throughout the game in some very tricky scenarios. Controls are spot on and when you die you just have to blame yourself. If you are in to good Batman games, classic platformers, or just want a plain good ole fashioned challenge, take it for a spin - you likely won't be disappointed.

Great classic NES platformer
This game is compelling and challenging. Graphics and music are stellar, and coming back to this after 30 years makes me equally engaged. Highly recommended!

5 Batarangs
Great game, great box, and an even greater manual to go along with it! I’m very pleased with the product overall. I’d give this product 5 batarangs for its lovely box and the inclusion of the manual alone!

Awesome game. Fun arcade Batman action.
Classic game, worth a try. Difficult but rewarding! Jack Nicholson never looked so good in 8-bit.

Classic
As it was when it was released, a fun and challenging platfomer. The game shell was in good shape and the pins were clean. Worked the first time.
