Atari ST dongle edit

The Atari ST version shipped with a dongle promoted as a 16-channel sound card which was required to play the game. Headphones or external speakers were needed to hear the audio. The card contains a 12-bit DAC, giving the dynamic range for 16 simultaneous 8-bits samples at the expense of the CPU given the lack of DMA. The game audio itself only uses 4 simultaneous samples.

Reception edit

Computer Gaming World praised the NPCs and graphics of the Amiga version of B.A.T., but criticized the combat, puzzles, user interface, and arcade sequences. The magazine advised traditional RPG fans to avoid the game.[1]
