Batman Forever

2021-01-14T17:48:46Z

Childishbeat: /* Mode R */ The second sentence is worded more clearly.

'''Batman Forever''', often simplified to "the Batman demo", is an Amstrad CPC6128 demo released in 2011 at the [[Forever]] demoparty by the [[Batman Group]], a former Amiga demoscene group.

This award-winning demo redefined the Amstrad CPC demoscene. Since its release in 2011, the Amstrad CPC demoscene is still awaiting for a "Batman killer". Many tried, few were close... yet Batman remains undefeated.

Some demoscene aficionados would even comment that this is the best Atari ST demo ever... oh wait?!

It requires a disk drive and 128kb RAM.

It was released at '''[[Forever|Forever 2011]]''' demoparty and somewhat helped the Amstrad CPC to (re-)gain some publicity in the global old-school demoscene since.
