Agreed with all of your points.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for the NES.

A game that will live in infamy.

Meh, I still like it. Probably because I actually beat it.

Sanjuro · 06-07-2009, 12:16 AM

I've played most of those games and most of it is spot on. The worst one in my opinion will forever be Batman: Dark Tomorrow being a huge Batman fan and attempting for eight hours or so to play the damn game.

I enjoyed the first turtles game. It was more the wrong game than an abomination. Tournament Fighters I have no problem being there, I always hated that version of the game.

Best superhero games that stick out in my mind that I have ever played are Batman (NES), X-Men (Arcade), and Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction (XBOX/PS2/GC).

I own both games, and while I don't know that I would personally put them on a worst comic games ever list, I can certainly see why someone would.

TMNT 1 for NES had a good concept, but, like a lot of NES games, it's just way too hard to be any fun. Having to constantly backtrack to find respawning pizzas to heal your turtles after a series of disastrous enemy/hazard encounters is a major buzzkill.

I own dozens of fighting games across numerous systems, and I have to say TMNT TF for Genesis is mediocre at best, and that's being generous--it's hard to believe the same company released the exceptional SNES version. It did give the world Sisyphus . . .

And the world is still trying to forget. But ot be honest I think JLA:Task Force is WAAAAY worse than TMNT:TF. Or maybe it's the crappy intro scene? And Spiderman and X-Men Arcade's Revenge is also craptacular compared to TMNT-NES. I dunno but it seems that the general consensus is that both games are pretty bad.

From that list I've only played the TMNT games, since I'm not a fan of comics.

TMNT 1 for NES has serious problems no doubt, but it's annoying the amount of hate it gets just because the Angry Video Game Nerd ranted on it, and some people don't know that many games he rants on he doesn't actually hate them (Castlevania II), people take his reviews WAY to seriously.

I've always liked TMNT 1 for NES, it has a great concept and it's the most original TMNT video game, not to mention one of its features is 4 lives = 4 turles (each turtle has a life) which was NEVER implemented in another TMNT game again.

I used to play that game all the time on my older brother NES, in fact it might've been the 1st video game I've ever played, and even though it was impossible when I was 6 years old I had a blast playing it, I can't even count how many times me and my brother died at the Dam level, I remember picking up the game for the 1st time in years last Summer and I felt so proud after beating the Dam level for the 1st time in my life. Now, the furthest I've gotten in the game was the Airport level.

It's one of the hardest games I've ever played and probably would enter in a "100 hardest games of all time list".

Congratulations.

I'm serious, whoever was able to beat that game has my respect.

I'm afraid you're incorrect that only the NES game uses all four of the turtles as lives. Both 'Fall of The Foot Clan' and 'Back To The Sewers', for Gameboy, utilize the turtles in a similar fashion. Lose all four and it's game over. And, like the NES game, BttS lets you rescue captured turtles, thus regaining 'lives'.

*Ninjinister* · 06-17-2009, 10:56 AM

S***, son, you had me actually thinking I had missed a Back to the Sewer game for a second there.

The GameBoy game was "Back From the Sewers".

I don't think I've ever played that game. But yeah, still future games should consider using all 4 turtles as lives.

Man, these guys were harsh on comic based video games. I actually liked the 1st TMNT, but probably because I played the snot out of it, memorized, and beat it. I also liked Wolverine: Adamantium Rage, though I admit to some Game Genie action there. Oh, wait! Superman 64, lol. I DID hate that game.

I DARE you to find somebody who didn't.

That'd be more difficult than those cyclone missions in that crapfest.

Whoops, you got me there. Easy mistake to make, but my apologies anyway.

I loved the first two original Game Boy TMNTs, but the third one, "Radical Rescue" deserves to burn in video game hell. It tries way too hard to be Metroid.

Patraw · 06-22-2009, 10:37 AM

I have the exact opposite opinion, it's because the game aspires to be like Metroid, not a cookie-cutter beat-em-up, that I think it's the best of the original Gameboy trilogy. Not that I dislike the first two, I just felt the third was more innovative and the exploration-based gameplay richer. That said, I do give the first two credit for incorporating a fair amount of platforming gameplay, in addition to the redundant Foot Soldier whacking.

*Kendamu* · 07-04-2009, 09:05 PM

People just seem to forget that most NES games were harder than fossilized snot coated in steel.

~~Dan~~ · 07-04-2009, 09:56 PM

Actuality I thought a lot of the games on that list weren't that bad. How did The Death and Return of Superman and the NES Wolverine game not make the list?

strawberryfields · 07-09-2009, 12:20 PM

Man, the first TMNT game was O.K.

I played it back in the late nineties and I had no idea it was bad until I played the Arcade game and Manhattan Project.

I think its only bad because we got tons of other sweet TMNT games that far exceeded it. If, however, it was the only TMNT game to ever see a release, I think people would think differently of it.
