This run and gun is hard as balls! So definitely bring two players for this one, as "The Adventures of Batman and Robin" can be exceptionally brutal to beat on your own, let alone with a friend. The game features the animated series adaptation of Batman and its sidekick Robin, as well as many of its foes, including the Joker, Harley Quinn, Two-Face, the Mad Hatter, and Mr. Freeze. Each with their own levels, the most unforgiving being the Mad Hatter level, although Two-Face's can be quite exhausting to beat, taking up to half the game's playtime with a messy shoot 'em up sequence. The sprites of each character are 1:1 representations of their animated series counterpart, with some of the best graphics on Genesis. The soundtrack of Jesper Kyd is unique to its console, bringing a cybergoth dark techno rave to its Yamaha sound chip. While the game is not quite unknown, we believe it is definitely an underrated classic and unfairly obscured based on its merit.
