Play Batman : Return Of The Joker Online

I remember picking up Batman: Return of the Joker for my Game Boy back in 1991. It was a Sunsoft release, and at the time, a lot of licensed games were hit or miss, but this one stood out on the small screen. It felt like a solid action platformer for the handheld, something you could actually get into during a long car ride.

You control Batman through a series of side scrolling levels, moving screen by screen. Your main goal is to stop the Joker, who has returned with a new scheme. You punch and kick your way through his henchmen, and you have a limited supply of batarangs you can throw at enemies or to hit switches. The levels are linear but require some careful jumps and timing to navigate the platforms and avoid hazards. It can be pretty tough; the enemies respawn if you leave a screen and come back, which keeps you on your toes. Playing it feels like a genuine test of your patience and reflexes.
