A strange little side quest
The rules may be simple on screen, but the backstory around Batman - The Cobblebot Caper is anything but tiny. By 1987, fantasy role-playing had become a major computer-game direction, with Zelda, licensed Dungeons & Dragons games and other story-led adventures expanding the form. That old idea kept changing rather than disappearing. Midway's Gun Fight from 1975 was the first arcade video game to use a microprocessor. So a round of Batman - The Cobblebot Caper is not just a quick distraction; it is a tiny stop on a much longer role-playing games timeline.
