'''Batman Forever: The Arcade Game''' is a "2.5-dimensional" [[beat 'em up]] arcade game developed by [[Iguana Entertainment]] for [[Acclaim]] and released on [[May 7]], [[1996]]; it runs upon [[Sega]]'s ST-V hardware, and was later ported to the [[Sega Saturn]], [[Microsoft Windows]] and [[Sony PlayStation]] platforms. Based upon the [[1994]] film of the same name, which had already begat [[Batman Forever|an earlier game]] developed by [[Probe Entertainment]] for Acclaim, in [[1995]], the players must use eight-directional joysticks to take control of Batman himself (1P) and his sidekick Robin (2P), with three buttons that make them perform various attacks on a constant stream of mostly-unnamed enemies (and whenever they hit one, an explosion with the text "'''XX%''' DAMAGE", with '''XX''' being the percentage of damage they inflicted, shall appear).

The game also features several powerups (including '''Batarangs''' and '''Batropes''' from [[Batman (Arcade)|the first Batman arcade game]], Gas Guns, Metal Cutters, and "Holo Mode" which generates four hard-light holograms of the heroes that'll mimic their movements and attacks), end-of-stage bonuses (including a "Highest Round Score Bonus", a "Highest Combo Bonus", a "Hero Bonus", a "Crime Buster Bonus", a "Super K.O. Bonus", a "Bat-Signal Bonus", a "Yin-Yang Bonus", and a "Riddler Bonus"), and bosses (which include Two-Face and that aforementioned Riddler); however, operation of this game's cartridge will not work for the ST-V's "Multi-Cart" mode, and the text "PLEASE CHECK THE GAME CARTRIDGE FOR IMPROPER INSTALLATION" will flash up on the screen if its cabinet has been set up as such.
