Gameplay from Lego Batman: Batman takes something from a stuffed bear and plugs it into a computer. Subtitle: Red Hood One put something in this bear, but what? Let's analyze it.
On the computer monitor appears two screens of what looks suspiciously like Commodore BASIC, followed by a banner that reads: BAT BASIC v19.89
Video cuts to a Commodore 64 emulation, where the above program listing is typed in and run. It brings up a small yellow Batman logo, which bounces around the screen.

in reply to Cabel Sasser • • •I did. I only caught a quick glimpse of it and thought it was going to cycle the border colours (similar memory area) but then noticed the data and looping and realised it was going to be a sprite animation..
