Batman Forever

Getting Started

Pop in a coin by pressing Select, then press Start to begin. You control Batman (or Robin in two‑player mode) and walk left to right through city streets, alleys, and rooftops. Enemies swarm from both sides; use the attack button (S) for punches and kicks, and the jump button (X) to avoid or set up aerial strikes.

The core loop is straightforward: clear each screen of thugs, then advance. You have a health bar at the top, and health pickups occasionally drop from defeated foes. The game throws multiple enemy types at you, from ordinary goons to weapon‑wielding bosses. You can also pick up environmental objects like crates to throw.

A new player should focus on spacing - don't let enemies surround you. The jump attack is useful for crowd control, and the run attack can knock down multiple foes. There's no complex combo system; timing and positioning are key. The arcade difficulty ramps up quickly, so expect to continue often.
