Hack description

This is a hack which aims to make the Batman for NES game much easier and beatable then it originally was. I found the original to be very fun, yet difficult to beat. With this hack it's much more possible to beat the game in one set of lives.

I edited most of the levels (including boss levels) to make them easier and have some alternate shortcuts to them rather than having to always progress through the levels on a set path. I also removed several traps and added platforms to help avoid them. Enemy health has also been adjusted to make them easier to defeat. Some bosses it is more noticeable, especially the final 2 bosses where I felt the battles were too difficult. Joker takes only a few hits to defeat, as he does in the movie. I also increased the amount of weapon ammo you get from powerups and also the health given by health powerups.

Game-breaking Glitch on level 2-3!	NoReason	2024-05-09	Version 1.0
After dropping down to the first conveyor belt, if you go up past the first flamethrower enemy: Near the top of that empty area the level and your character become garbage sprites and the level collisions no longer match what you see so that you can no longer finish the level. I tried this with a clean, verified rom and it happens every time the character enters that area. Please fix this since this hack is an excellent idea and I love what I have seen so far.

Great Fun and and Well made... beware of glitch on level 2-3	NoReason	2024-05-09	Version 1.0
The changes make the game much more accessible for those who just want to play the whole game casually. The ammo increase makes it so you can go through most levels with just your favorite weapon always equipped. The hearts fill you up to full health a bit too often for me though. WARNING:There is a game breaking glitch on level 2-3. There is an area above the first flame thrower enemy that should be sealed off. Traversing this area to the top will cause the character to become garbage pixels and the level will then register walls and floors incorrectly. This hack is pretty great otherwise though so just remember not to go into the area above the first flamethrower enemy in 2-3.

All the fun, but without the frustration	hungrybartender	2021-07-04	Version 1.0
While the original was great, it could be a little cheap from time to time. This hack keeps all the fun, while making it way easier to beat in one sitting. The bosses might be a touch easy, but the levels themselves still provide a good challenge, so it is no pushover. The funny thing is though, that even made "easy," this version of the game is still more difficult than 95% of modern platformers. Highly recommended.

Definately makes the game more enjoyable for the average casual gamer!	redhotiron2004	2021-01-08	Version 1.0
The Hack does what it says and it makes the game slightly tweaked to be more user friendly. I am not against hard games but for a casual gamer a hard game can become frustrating and less enjoyable if he keeps on dying again and again. This patch makes it more bearable. I used it with "Batman color fix" hack by "MacBee" and the game not only looks great but it plays well as well. Totally recommended!
