08.11.2026 - Isometric action-adventure 'Batman' for C64 and Plus/4 released - free for download
This is a conversion of Batman, Ocean’s 1986 ZX Spectrum isometric adventure by Jon Ritman and Bernie Drummond, which never had an official C64 or Plus/4 version. Until now. Both versions are built from the same codebase. The gameplay is identical to the original, and after many rounds of optimization it runs close to the Spectrum’s speed. MHz clock in the border for faster room changes. The story: Robin has been kidnapped and the Batcraft lies in pieces. Explore 150 rooms of traps and enemies, find the seven Batcraft parts, and pick up Batman’s equipment on the way: boots to jump, thruster to steer in the air, belt to slow his fall, Bat-bag to carry things.
