"GWatman is a remake of Ocean Software’s Batman released for ZX Spectrum in 1986. It is a 3D isometric action-adventure game, and the first Batman game ever developed. The object of the game is to rescue Robin by collecting the seven parts of the Batcraft hovercraft that are scattered around the Batcave."

Important note:- Remove headphones or lower volume for the start of the video as spectrum loading sound is replicated perfectly Grin The in game sounds are based on the Spectrum 48k original game. The game feels almost twice the speed of the original game making the controls feel a bit twitchy adding to the frustration and ease of accidently running into an enemy or wall that will instantly kill you. With his in mind I spend a little time checking out rooms that are not required and maybe hold items that are not useful and it doesnt feel like dragging the video out to much.

Overall, this is a very faithful remake/conversion and now it can be played in colour!
