The Adventures of Batman and Robin Longplay (Mega Drive/Genesis) [60 FPS]

Throughout the early 1990's, Warner Bros. achieved critical success with it's cartoon based on one of DC Comics most famous creations. Batman: The Animated series was a darker, more gritty portrayal of the character targeted at a more mature audience, something that would influence future media featuring the character.
Cashing in on the success of the cartoon, The Adventures of Batman and Robin would be released for the SNES in 1994 and 1995 for the Mega Drive. It's worth pointing out that despite bearing the same title, these games are completely different to one another, the only similarity being that it features artwork and animation based on the animated series.
The game begins with Gotham under threat and the city reaching out to Dark Knight for aid. The principle threat this time around is Mr Freeze, intent as always in trying to make things rather chilly and miserable for the city's fair citizens.
In a bid to keep Batman and Robin occupied and to throw them off the scent, Freeze masterminds the escape of several of Batman's arch nemeses from Arkham Asylum. Before they can put Mr Freeze back on ice, the Dynamic Duo must track down The Joker, Two-Face and Mad Hatter and prevent them from causing chaos in the city.
In terms of gameplay, the Mega Drive version is primarily a side-scrolling run 'n gun experience. Taking on the role of Batman or Robin, the player must guide the heroes through four stages of shooting action, taking out legions of henchman, mechanical monstrosities and all kinds of bad guys in an effort to bring peace back to the streets of Gotham. Players will need to possess quick reflexes, learn where the enemies spawn and deal with their attack patterns and abilities if they hope to succeed - easy this is not.
Upon dying, certain bad guys will drop weapon upgrade tokens that can be used to upgrade the power of the player's current weapon, or allow them to change to a different weapon by waiting for the token to change colour. Each weapon features a different spread pattern and projectile power, so you should try and pick the best weapon to deal with the types of enemies you know you'll be facing.
Players should also be on the lookout for enemies that drop tiny life hearts, as these can be used to restore some of Batman's lost health. You'll be sucking up a lot of punishment and the hearts float out of reach very quickly, so be sure to grab them as soon as possible!
Hitting the fire button will launch a volley of projectiles in the direction of the enemy, but it's also possible to power up your weapon for a super-shot by waiting until t

TREAS
treasure-island-longplay-c16-plus-4-50
Developed by Greg Duddle and published by Mr Micro in 1984.

This is where it all began; one of the first games I ever played on my first ever computer, the Commodore Plus 4!
Take control of Jim Hawkins as he scours the island for the buried treasure. The game map is one big maze and guarded by blood-thirsty pirates (yarrrr!) who will throw their cutlasses at you if you get too close.
Most of the challenge involves getting the pirates to throw their weapon, run away until it eventually stops moving and picking it up. The only enemies that don't do this are the blue coloured pirates, which adds an extra challenge to the game.
Once you find the treasure, Long John Silver comes to get you and you have to run back to the ship whilst remembering how to get there.
Although this game was released on the C64, I feel this is the better version. The C16/Plus 4 TED chip had an improved colour palette (even though it had no hardware sprite support), so the characters look a lot better than the C64 version.
The TED chip didn't sound anywhere near as good as the C64, but the sound in this game is so basic that you don't notice it.
What's more, this longplay isn't tool-assisted (WinVice save state/history recording doesn't work yet for the plus 4 emulator).
The sound lag was present in the emulator; it's not a problem with the video.
Happy memories!

Game Review & Impressions
---------------------------------------------------
I played and recorded the Amiga version of this monstrosity once before, and I can safely say my opinion of it hasn't changed in the slightest. I appreciate a single programmer is credited with developing the game, which was undoubtedly a monumental task, but it doesn't stop it from being complete trash. With terrible controls and awful collision detection, this really should never have been released.
One good thing that came out of revisiting the Amiga version again was finally figuring out how to execute the dragon punch. Unlike every other version of the game I've played, the move is executed in the same way as Guile's flash kick: pull down on the joystick, then push straight up and fire. Even then, it still only makes you travel vertically, which reduces its potency as an air counter.

URIDI

Follow me on Twitter @ https://twitter.com/Al82_Retro
Get Great Retro Scene News @ http://www.vintageisthenewold.com
Developed by Graftgold and published by Renegade in 1993
The original Uridium became a poster-child on the C64, thanks to its ground-breaking scrolling and sense of pace. Uridium 2 takes the same template, then turns everything up to 11. It's one of the fastest games on the Amiga, and AGA machines (A1200, A3000 etc.) could push the boundaries even further.
The objective is to destroy a series of dreadnought battlecruisers, taking out waves of fighters and deck guns as you wait for the opportunity to land. Once inside, you must destroy the reactor core using your Gundam-inspired mech-suit, before jetting off to the next battle.
As for the AGA-exclusive "Mayhem Mode", this is perhaps the "ultimate" Uridium 2 experience; it really is quite bananas. You get faster scrolling, more enemies and projectiles, and just looks down-right amazing.
The speed of the game is so insane, it's likely you'll miss out on some of the finer details:
1) Your ship's afterburner will actually destroy ships and gun emplacements hit by the backdraft.
2) Changing direction constitutes as an evasive manoeuvre, making it possible to dodge enemy shots
3) Many parts of the dreadnought display visual signs of damage when bombed

Game Info
---------------------------------------------------
Developer: Seibu Kaihatsu
Publisher: Seibu Kaihatsu
Year of Release: 2000
Game Review & Impressions
---------------------------------------------------
The game is effectively a re-release of Seibu's Zero Team USA, originally released in 1993. There are some tweaks and revisions to mechanics, but it's largely the same game.
This is a very solid beat 'em up featuring great graphics, decent roster of moves and combos. If you're in any way a fan of the genre, this is worth playing.

A basic and perfunctory shoot 'em up with little substance, elevated to true greatness by the outstanding soundtrack.
This game cemented Martin Galway's reputation as a true master of the SID chip, one of the best musicians of the 8-bit generation.

Developed by Apex Computer Productions and published by Thalamus in 1992
So, here we have the sequel to one of the best games on the C64. I'm afraid that I only ever played a demo level on a magazine cover tape as I'd moved on to the Amiga by the time this was released. By 1992, the C64 was in decline, but John and Steve Rowlands proved that there was still life in the old beast yet.
The game features Clyde Radcliffe once again, this time on a mission to save his children from the same demons that caused him so much trouble in the first game. Gone are the platforming sections from the original game having been replaced with 3 distinct level types:
* Torture screens - as per the original, Clyde must work out the solution to save a Fuzzy in distress.
* Interludes - a bonus game where you must catch Fuzzies on a trampoline and catapult them to safety.
* Demon Screens - Clyde must kill 3 demons from the same family, each significantly larger than the next. This involves avoiding the enemy shot pattern and kicking bugs into a launching device to hit the demon.
I think Apex made a good choice by not repeating the same style as the first game, which helps keeps things fresh. The graphics are even better than the original and the music is of the usual high quality to be expected from Steve Rowlands.
I noticed that the game uses a much bigger playing field than any other title I've seen; most C64 games it was quite noticeable whilst cropping the video as the vertical resolution is considerably larger than other games (for comparison, the original Creatures was 215 pixels high when cropped whilst Creatures 2 was 257 pixels high)
Hats off to the developers for managing to produce another excellent title.
Enjoy!

So this video is a bit of an experiment more than anything else. I get a lot of comments from viewers about how the recordings I make would look a lot better with scanlines or some kind of CRT filter, but I've avoided using them because I've never been a fan of the scanlines included in emulators.
However, I've been doing some experimenting with the CRT filters in RetroArch, and I've been pretty impressed with the CRT-Royale shader filter; it's much closer to my own experience of playing games on a CRT, including an aperture grille and phosphor glow that seemed pretty close to the TVs I played games on back in the day.
I'd recommend watching the video full-screen to really appreciate the effects of the CRT filter. If you're watching the video on mobile phone then you probably won't see much difference, as the CRT filter effects won't really be visible.
Getting the whole thing working and recorded was a lot of hassle, but if there's sufficient interest I might do more of these CRT versions in the future - let me know your thoughts in the comments!
