What's the Best Turtles Arcade?

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

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.

I liked Wrestlefest.

The first arcade is the one I fancied most.

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.

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.)

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.

I gave her that Shredder pic. I hoped she would get a kick out of it. Heh.

And although I prefer the first arcade, I do like the small feature in TIT where tou can grab the Foot Soldiers and toss them at the screen.
