B.A.T.

DOS - 1990
Also available on: Amiga - Amstrad CPC - Atari ST - Commodore 64

One of the best cult classic games ever made, B.A.T. is a fun cyberpunk romp through the underworld of crime and corruption. As agent for B.A.T., an ultrasecret organization serving the Confederation of the Galaxies in the 22nd century, you will be assigned various missions covering a wide range of spy activities and planets.

The game sport many original concepts such as the ability to program the B.O.B. (organic computer implanted on your arm), and RPG-style character development based on various stats. Unfortunately, the tedious interface and obscure plot mar the games' strong points. Still, it's a refreshingly innovative game that's vastly underrated.

I would be very interested to know which “indie” games (sci-fi, space, RPG + adventure mix, cyberpunk setting) released after B.A.T. and B.A.T. 2 come closest to B.A.T. these days? Can anyone recommend such inspired successors?

one of the best games ever created. this is not negotiable. includes every single aspect, man would expect from cyberpunk genre. i would never want a remake of this game. everything in the game is as it should be. even the graphics! this game is all about imagination.

apart from that, the game should be applauded also for its success to combine rpg and adventure elements perfectly.

The best point-and-click I've played in a while. I can't believe this snuck by me back in the day.

What more could you want than a cop drama set in a future dystopia with cyberpunk aesthetics, delivered with an interface that's like a comic book come to life. The adventuring is sliced up with surprise action sequences to keep you on your toes. The artwork is among the best of DOS in the cyberpunk genre, much grittier and detailed than most other titles.

This game is confusing. There is no real introduction into the game, and no tutorial. I can't figure out who to talk to to get the game started (after the strange guy in the bathroom). Everyone says the same thing.

This is a piss-poor early game from Ubisoft. It's a good thing they've gotten better.
