  • The 16-bit versions are similar to the 8-bit versions, but the extra memory, processor power, and graphic capabilities were put to use in the second and fourth levels, creating a full 3D effect instead of the side-scrolling subgames present in the 8-bit versions. Batman became the bundled game with the Amiga.
