Description of The Koshan Conspiracy
The follow-up to Konami's underrated B.A.T. 1 improves upon its predecessor in every respect, including a more intelligible plot that actually develops into an interesting pan-galactic drama.
However, as in the first game you still have the freedom to ignore the plotline for as long as you wish to explore the wonderfully realized gameworld that is populated by colorful characters, shops, and strange gadget to find and use, including the programmable B.O.B. computer in your arm that is much more versatile and intelligent than in the previous game.
In B.A.T. 2, you are still a member of the clandestine galactic peace corps, but your tasks this time around are much more questionable if not downright strange (burglarizing a bank as a pretense to saving the galaxy is, after all, not a very common cop-thing). As in B.A.T. 1, the freedom the game affords you can be a double-edged sword: while it makes it much more fun to explore, it does mean less clues and frequent hunting for a store (among dozens) that sells the particular item you need.
The world, while large, is also very disorienting since it's not laid out in easy cardinal directions, and the fact that you only need to use less than a fifth of all objects you can collect make puzzle-solving more difficult.
Despite all these shortcomings, however, B.A.T. 2 is still a highly atmospheric and original game that will please sci-fi lovers and anyone who likes non-linear games (or at least games with the illusion of being non-linear, like this one).

Sadly - this download requires more information to get past the verification:
"BAT II TECHNICAL MANUAL PAGE 13 - LINE 03 - WORD 03 " Any chance this pdf will be made available so users can enjoy this game?

One of my favorite all time games when I was a kid. They don't make em like they used to.
Dos and Amiga version the best ones. A friend of mine was able to beat it. I forgot the ending but its quite a challenge at first.

I used to play the heck out of this game when I was a kid. Definitely within the top games of all time as far as I am concerned. If you try it out you just might like it. It is a bit slow to get the ball rolling in this game tho, just to let you know. Also talking to everyone is fairly important.
