TMNT I & II: MS-DOS PC versions
 

Okay, I don't think I'm violating any rules because this is definitely related to the subject matter of the forum and thread, but I just wanted to post my latest TMNT game article on Scary-Crayon -- a two-in-one review of the MS-DOS versions of TMNT I and II. In addition to the numerous images in the article itself, the corresponding blog entry has YouTube videos of the final portions and endings of the games, so you may find those to be interesting as well. As tends to be the case with SC articles, there is some light swearing, but there's nothing that would really garner the review higher than a PG-13 rating (if it were a film). So here's the link:

And for those of you expert gamers who finished TMNT I on the NES (or, more recently, on the Wii Virtual Console), I will be especially interested in hearing how you fare with the DOS version... :evilgrin:

well i read the review and I say impressive. unfortenly I won't be able to do the tmnt 1 thign because I never beaten the game, I am afraid to try.

Anyways, you forgot to mention in the tmnt 1 review of the password thing you had to input before you even got a chance to play this game

I knew a friend who had this game and he has passwords for this game.

True -- but almost all DOS games had passwords back then (even Manhattan Missions had a similar thing with matching flipbook-style screencaps on specific pages of the manual), so I didn't think it was that big of a deal. In any case, the password thing seems to have been hacked out of the abandonware versions (or, in the case of TMNT II, modified so that any number code works).

Once again, bravo on the review. Nice job on the multitude of screencaps, too -- I know how time-consuming a process that must've been.

that jump was always a bastard. but seriously ive watched my perfect game go down the drain with that frikkin spot. the nes is hard but if you get the tap right it no snap :)

Y'know. I just got done playing the NES version earlier tonight. I was doing so well until I had to disable the Technodrome. By the time the battle was over everyone but Mikey had dangerously low health. I sent Mikey in with half health and didn't even make it to the first decending ladder.

So, I better not try the PC version right now.
