What's the Best Turtles Arcade?
 

Which of the two turtle arcade games is the best one?

the original is simply the best arcade game ever imo

I like Turtles In Time best. Though I really like the first one too

I agree, the first turtle arcade to me is the best arcade game of all time. My 2nd favorite is probably The Simpson's arcade and my 3rd favorite is the X-Men arcade... all 3 of them are made by Konami.

yeah, the 6-player X-men arcade rocked

I really Enjoyed the Sailor Moon arcade game... (It was very similar to the X-Men arcade game.) As for the TMNT games, I thought In Time was a better game, but I liked the first one better.

Alison... I sort of hear what you're saying.

Like.. with the first one, it's more nostalgic. It brings back more memories of my childhood and how much I was obsessed with the turtles back then.

With Turtles In Time... it's a better-made game overall, graphics and whatnot, but it's not the one that my friends and I would walk up to when we first saw it and said "Wow... this is the coolest video game I've ever seen."

The first arcade game just has that... visceral impact.

Yeah that's exactly it! the first one has that draw to it that makes me feel like a 10 year old (or 9 year old, whatever) when I play it. But In Time has better graphics, better play etc.

Now THAT was poignant. :lol:

lol Krow... bad poignant or good poignant?

I can never tell with you, pal. :P

Heh, 3 Arcade Machines I Own :D

Quit bragging. :x :lol:

Those graphics made even more of an impact when they were projected onto a honkin' big 60" screen. (Which is the way a local arcade establishment had their Turtles in Time machine set up. HUGE display.)

TUrtles in time is my fav, about to buy it for snes over ebay.

I remember playing the first one more than Turtles in Time in the arcades. I remember Turtles in Time having better graphics than the first one. I like both of them though.

you can probably get it for pretty cheap over Ebay Silent Fox.. good luck bidding on it bro hope u get it.

by the way i love your avatar shredder in a rain coat LOL :lol:

I like the intro to Turtles In Time.

Ya Krow I think they call that effect Mode 7 graphics or something. Where it appears 3D, although the graphics are still pixelated and out-dated looking. Still a very cool feature for a game as old as Turtles in Time.

Mario Kart or F Zero also use Mode 7. Ive recently been working with Mode 7 and creating a FPS. Its pretty unique the effects you can get.

that's freakin awesome jason. let me know how the game turns out man. A lot of the old Super Nintendo games made use of the Mode 7 effects. That was pretty much the only true 3D we had back then, aside from a handful of PC & arcade games.

Oh yeah, Jason, I'm actually glad I caught you on this thread, cuz I need to ask you a question about my turtles arcade machine...

My Leonardo has been having problems with getting a delayed response from his attack button. The joystick and jump button are in pretty much perfect working order, but the stupid attack button is... well... here's what it's doing: I'll hit the attack button, Leo might attack, he might not. The harder I hit the attack button, the better it seems to work. In fact, when I just lightly tap the button, it's not very responsive, if at all. Any idea how I can fix this without risking busting my monitor by takin it out and trying to repair it from inside? like... should I get a can of compressed air and try getting as much dust out of there as possible or what? Not sure if dust/dirt is the problem... thanks for any ideas and info.

Yes, commen fualt, its usally when the microswitches break.

Bassically, all you need do is unscrew your control panel (usally their are screws on the actual control panel itself)

Press the attack button while looking inside and you will see a little plastic part of the button which presses down on a little switch on a black box.

This black box (or green depending on what ones you have) is a microswitch, you may need to replace the microswitch or maybe fiddle with it alittle to make sure when you press the button, the button smacks it down harder.

Microswiches only cost around 50p each, very cheap. Its probely best to get lots of them just incase other ones start playing up.

If you need anymore tips just let me know.

damn i'm lucky i found you on these forums man LOL.

thanks a million J :wink:
