THE GAME The Caped Crusader(tm) is in the Batcaves beneath Gotham City.(tm) Robin has been captured by Batman's adversaries, principally the Joker and with some cunning assistance from the Riddler. The only hope for escape is to assemble the trusty Batcraft whose parts lie scattered round the deadly catacombs beneath and then speed off to rescue Robin. He slides down the Batpole into his lair but before he can leave he must collect his equipment, which, includes Batboots, Batbelt and Batbag which he will need to meet the challenge ahead. Until he has completely collected these items he will be unable to commence his search for the pieces of the Batcraft. Some objects will need to be collected for use on the mission and certain others will prove fatal. Batman . will have to use all his power as a super sleuth to decide which objects to collect and which to ignore as he searches for the Batcraft and the ultimate goal of being able to rescue Robin. Once the 7 missing parts of the Batcraft are located Batman will then have to search for the launch pad whereupon he can fire up the engines and commence the rescue.
