The Making of Sunsoft's Batman (Video Games & Computer Entertainment - March 1990)

It's the third Saturday of September which means it's time for another Batman Day! This is the only post I have planned, though I will be posting some comic book and food product ads over on the Vault 1541 Facebook page today. These scans are from the March 1990 issue of Video Games & Computer Entertainment (VG&CE) magazine. It's a relatively short article about the development of Sunsoft's Batman game based on the 1989 movie starring Michael Keaton, Jack Nicholson, and Kim Basinger. Work on the game began in 1988 before the film actually released so Sunsoft had to work from artwork, photos, and storyboards. You'll see screenshots at the bottom left corn of each page which is explained on the final page of the article. This issue of VG&CE doubles as flipbook allowing readers to animate Batman by flipping the pages quickly.
