Just like going back to 1985, or actually 1988 when the sideway scrolling beat em ups were at their peak. Although, technically, Kung Fu Master paved the way back in 1984 for games like Renegade (1986), Double Dragon (1987), Vigilante (1988), Bad Dudes (1988), Final Fight (1989) and finally Streets of Rage (which this it pretty much lifted from) in (1991). And by the way Streets of Rage was a 16-Bit game. So there. Oh shit I feel reeeeel olllld.
Mr Nicholas it's NOT 1977, but 1985.

OOps, you were right it IS 1977, however...

Although at first glance that does seem silly - we are in fact talking about an alternate universe were technology is way advanced than the real 1977 (or 85)then this makes sense, if you know the Watchmen universe that is. Either that or whoever put this together is just plain stupid - or fucking clever.
Silk Spectre sure loves to break rubbish bins.

There's a movie tie-in book out called Watchmen Portraits or something like that. And it features loads of portraits of all the cast and extras and the like, and there's a full page picture of Rorschach aka Walter Kovacs without his mask on - I haven't seen the picture anywhere online yet. He looks good, very similar to the comic character.
Yes, CorpseRide, all the books
by Frisco
Feb 12th, 2009
04:23:56 AM
I have them too. You do know that Watchmen was published as a twelve-issue series, right? The DC Heroes pencil-and-paper RPG had a released a couple of Watchmen-themed supplements back around that time too, and of course they contained material that wasn't in the original comics--and written by Alan Moore too, iirc. So yeah: books. Plural.
Nice game
by photoboy
Feb 12th, 2009
04:27:04 AM
Although I'd say graphically and sonically it's 16-bit rather than 8-bit, in terms of gameplay it's clearly 8-bit (especially they way there's a jump button with no real use except to jump over Moloch's knives).
Just want to correct you...

Bale does not exist in this dojo
by Cobra--Kai
Feb 12th, 2009
05:02:55 AM
The first BOOK OF BALE... And lo on the 5000th post the Old Testament Of Bale did end. Upon that cold February day the professional disciples of Bale did rip their calendars from the walls and did proceed to burn them in a great pyre. For that time, that blessed time, would forever be known as BB (Before Bale) and that time which followed would thereafter be known as AB (After Bale). When the professional disciples of Bale did inform the non-believers, communicating through the holy medium of talkback, there were some who would not listen. They would not post at 1000. They would not post at 2000, and still they would not post at 5000. They denied Bale thrice over. They were blind to Bale and worshipped the false idol of Yoko's Cool Cuts. It was then that Bale sent his rage upon them so that all fuckin amateurs might see his power. He tore from the non-believers a new asshole so that all would be marked, and his professional brethren did delight in the shit storm that followed. Here ends the first BOOK OF BALE. (get thee to the TERMINATOR talkback and post three times if ye would repent).

You kinda missed the point there.

The point is, of course he has all them. The studios know to send him all that stuff by now.

how can anyone not think this was cool...

I mean its part of a viral marketing campaign, not an actual game your supposed to be judging people!and for one thing its a game thats supposed to have originated in 1977, so Im not surprised its not the "best game in the world"-its not supposed to be awe-inspiringly awesome, its just a cool fun idea for marketing...and its got me hyped. Nice job.

as eating glass. totally ties in to the movie, but if this was supposed to be a 1985 video game, there was much better stuff in arcades than this. it played like a crappy port to a home console from arcade.

Final Fight is from 89. Double Dragon, the video game was released in 1987. It is an alternate universe though, like some of you mentioned.
Adam West as Hollis Mason

The graphics aren't quite detailed enough for me to tell for sure, but that looked like Adam West as Hollis Mason in the game. Glad they found a role for him somewhere.

Played through twice. Took down every enemy and smashed every obstacle without losing life. For some reason, I can't get anywhere as near a high score as others clearly did. There must be a multiplier somewhere that I keep missing. Anyone know what's up?

It was a sidescroller and you could "walk" upward and down on the streets as well as move left and right.

What a great, great game that was. Really pushed the engine. The sprites blinked like a bitch, though.

High scores - SPOILER

Just played thru again. I think I may have figured it out. Man, I feel like a dunce.

When you reach Moloch, stay as far "down" on the screen as you can (in the foreground). Moloch continues to throw knives, but he can't get to the same plane as your character. Then it's just a matter of defeating the enemies that spawn from left-of-screen.
