Cabinet Information

The monitor bezel shows some photo stills from the movie. The control panel is somewhat shaped like the bat symbol.

Game Introduction

The game is a side-scrolling beat-em-up much like Final Fight. It features incredible graphics, advanced motion characters, multi-engine backgrounds and an advanced combo system.

Game Play

The gameplay is similar to Final Fight, Captain Commando, Cadillacs And Dinosaurs, and Batman.

A few of the weapons that can be used throughout the game are the Bat-a-rang, Batrope, Gas Gun, and the Metal Cutter. When a platform is higher than your character can jump, fire the Batrope upwards.

Miscellaneous

The game was designed by Iguana Entertainment.

VAPS Arcade Census

GAMES OWNED, WANTED, or FOR SALE BY MEMBERS OF THE VIDEO ARCADE PRESERVATION SOCIETY

Uncommon - There are 8 known instances of Batman Forever owned by one of our 900 members. Of these, it is a conversion in which game circuit boards (and possibly cabinet graphics) have been placed in (and on) another game cabinet, and 7 of them are only circuit boards which a collector could put into a generic case if desired.

Of the 57,098 video games (3,420 unique) tracked by the Video Game Preservation Society, this game ranks a 5 on a scale out of 100 (100 = most commonly seen, 1=least common) in popularity based on ownership records.

Wanted - We currently do not know of any VAPS members that have gotten around to adding this game to their wish list. The wish-list system is fairly new (not all VAPS members have filled one out) and there are probably a number of collectors who might purchase this game if offered one at the right price.

Rarity is NOT necessarily an indication of value. Some common games show up as very rare here because collectors don't want them (they are common because arcade operators might be sitting on tons of them in warehouses), while some fairly scarce games are grabbed by collectors every time they show up. Additionally, some games made in the last 5 years are still making money for operators and are thus not yet affordable to the typical collector. For a clue to value, compare how many people have this game vs. how many people want this game and then click on the eBay links to help determine an accurate price range.

Technical

The game uses Acclaim's RAX soundboard and Sega's Titan architecture (a coin-op version of the Saturn).

Trivia

This game was released as a conversion kit. Rumor has it that 1000 were made. It is based upon the movie of the same name.

Even though there is another game called Batman, the two are technically unrelated to each other since they were created by different companies.
