The Adventures of Batman & Robin

The Adventures of Batman & Robin is a 1995 video game developed by Clockwork Tortoise for the Mega Drive, Game Gear, and Mega-CD systems. Each one varies in plot, gameplay style, and music.

Mega Drive version
Batman & his sidekick, Robin, must save Gotham City from the evil Mr. Freeze. However he does not work alone, and frees The Joker, The Mad Hatter, and Two-Face. Each cause their own form of destruction to Gotham- Joker is celebrating his birthday and is stealing valuable diamonds, Two-Face plans to take over Gotham from above, and The Mad Hatter is working on his own robot army in his lab.

Game Gear version
The Joker, having had assembled an army of old Batman villains, kidnaps Robin and Batman must save him.

Mega CD version
The story of the Mega-CD version is told primarily through FMV cutscenes created specifically for the game, with segments of chase sequences using the Batmobile strung between.

Reception
All 3 versions of the game were called rather mediocre by critics. A reviewer from magazine Next Generation gave the Genesis version one out of five stars, calling the side-scrolling platforming “generic” and also citing its failure to look like the cartoon it was based on.
