TMNT

[esper]

This movie is edgier, grittier, and darker than any TMNT stuff before (not like this is very gritty at all)

I take it you never read the original graphic novel.

If only they'd make TMNT games as good as the NES ones. Ahh.. those were the days...

Dude! Do you still have blisters on your fingers after all these years from the little slidey move you had to do on the controller between the B and A buttons in order to do your little turtle jump slash? I do. That and jumping between walls on Ninja Gaiden, I believe, are the primary reason my handwriting sucks today.

It may sound stupid... because it is... but I think every friend I had between the ages of 8 and 12 I made while playing TMNT: The Arcade Game.

[Tuomas]

you know, you're thumb covers the both buttons if you hold it in a horizontal position, that way the whole movement is easy to produce. Dude, you were just playing it wrong, TNMT 2 for NES was by far the best turtles game ever.

[Steel Drummer]

The SNES Turtles games were pretty cool too, but the NES ones were the best.

[esper]

Which one do you think I'm talking about?



I mean TMNT 2: The Arcade Game for NES. The original TMNT game on NES wasn't that great, but this was one of the best games ever. It was way ahead of anything else they ever did on the original Nintendo console. I did find, however, that holding my thumb horizontally just made things a bit more difficult. And the worst part of the game was that you could only continue mid-level if you had a second player with you.

Konami's SNES TMNT games, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles in Time and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters, were the best TMNT games of the 16-bit era.

Not surprisingly, as Konami was probably the best third-party developer working on the SNES.

Of course, as good as the SNES TMNT games were, Konami's AAA SNES output (Cybernator, Legend of The Mystical Ninja, Castlevania IV, Contra III, etc) was even better.

But I digress...

Yes, I knew you were talking about that one. Me and my friends used to play that for hours. Another game for the NES I remember fondly was BattleToads. Anyone else played that?

[Snarky]

I thought the first game was better. It seemed longer, more varied, and with more exploration. The second game, as I recall, was just wave after wave of Foot soldiers.

[Steel Drummer]

And the first game had wave after wave of foot soldiers, and a bunch of other annoying enemies. If I recall, the first wasn't even two player. 

[R4L]

I loved the first one, even if it was very hard. It was fun to me then, and it still is fun to me. I loved the second one as well, even if it was EXTREMELY hard too.

mmm, Battletoads! I loved that game (remember the exaggerated fists and boots? )

It was really hard! I don't recall getting past the 3rd level (the one with the hover cars! OMG! IMPOSSIBLE!!!)

Hmm, idk about Cybernator, but Contra III was very awesome for its time. Castlevania IV was really great too.

[Steel Drummer]

Battletoads was good. I think I got up to the last level. Whenever my friend and I played it on multiplayer, he could never get past level 3.

The second TMNT game was a lot more fun, especially on rainy days, with nothing else to do.
