GameTap Thursday: Batman Returns with Aces of the Pacific (now landing in Port Royale)
Port Royale 2 joins the GameTap buffet this week for those looking to channel their inner accountant during the era of pirates on the high seas. It's hard to be an accessible economics simulator, but Port Royale 2 does it with ease (especially compared to its predecessor). GameTap also goes back to 1992 and brings us the Batman and one of the great flight combat simulators of the time.

- Aces of the Pacific (DOS) - It's like Wing Commander, just without space, lasers and evil space kitties.
- Batman Returns (Genesis) - Sorry, just keep flashing back to renting this game from the local video store as a kid. Local video stores without the words Blockbuster or Hollywood in the title, remember those?
- Port Royale 2 (Windows) - Arrrrrrrr, dominate your enemies by shoving doubloons down their throats!

Bah. The Genesis Batman Returns doesn't hold a candle to SNES Batman Returns.
Jacob Jones @ Mar 6th 2008 10:04AM
I was just going to say the same thing, I still play the SNES version.
Yourself @ Mar 6th 2008 10:18AM
Hell, I don't even remember "local video stores" at all.
Deck @ Mar 6th 2008 12:41PM
Oh Local Video Stores... how great you were. Though, now you are non-existent. So sad.
Kizzle @ Mar 6th 2008 1:34PM
Anyone remember the first Genesis Batman game being long-coveted by American gamers, but not being able to come out here due to the NES game's stranglehold on the license? EGM would tease readers with screenshots of it, talking about how awesome it is? Then it finally DID come out here after years of people complaining and/or spending the money to import the Mega Drive version, and looking back...well, I guess it was ok at the time, but hardly worth all that anticipation?
No?
Oh well.

Ah, Aces of the Pacific. I think I still have my 3.5" floppies around here somewhere. Many hours were spent on this gem of a game. Would love to see an XBLA port.
Scott @ Mar 9th 2008 10:47PM
You and me both. I loved 'Aces Over Europe', too.
