What kind of sadistic freak did this?!

So, you think the original NES TMNT is hard, right? You might be thinking, "Oh, that dam level and it's electric seaweed is a bunch of crap!" or, "That stupid robot Turtle guarding Splinter is impossible!"

You have yet to truly experience impossible.

Grab it from Megaupload.

I didn't even get to Rocksteady before I was like, "My curiosity has officially been satisfied."

Man,that was hard. i didnt even make to far anyways.

*gobo* · 04-11-2011, 10:21 PM

What's different about this one?

It's been ages since I played this game.

*Kendamu* · 04-11-2011, 10:25 PM

Major layout differences inside sewers and buildings and much more difficult enemy placement.

*oldmanwinters* · 04-12-2011, 10:42 AM

One of these days, somebody should make a TMNT1 "Light" hack so that all the poor people who were tortured by this game may actually stand a chance at beating it.

That super-difficult hack sounds fun though!

EDIT: Well, I've played through the first level, and it seems really familiar to me. I think I've actually played this before, but the version I played only hacked the first two levels. I died in the second level this playthrough. Next time I'll see how far he got with the hack.

*shuriken* · 04-13-2011, 12:33 AM

wow. I just got my ass kicked, and I actually completed the original

*Kendamu* · 04-13-2011, 01:10 AM

I played through it with Game Genie and everything through the Airport is rather different and a lot more difficult. There are enemies from the final area that show up much earlier.

Speaking of the final area, I don't have the caves memorized so I'm not sure if the layouts are different, but the Technodrome layout is the same. Also, the Shredder battle is the same.

Cool. When I have a little more time I'll try to give it a legitimate playthrough.

The Mechaturtle fight is easy what are you talking about?

*oldmanwinters* · 04-13-2011, 11:24 PM

Oh yeah, I made it up to Level 4 this time and I'm really enjoying the changes!

This reminds me of the time I tried to make a hack of the game, and it went horribly wrong!

More of an issue of me not knowing what triggers a specific set of enemies.

I was quoting common complaints. I'm actually pretty decent at the game up until you have to fight the Technodrome itself. By the time I get inside I'm wiped out and have no way to recharge.

I'd like a ROM of that. What program did you use? Do you need to actually know Hex to use the program or is it like a Super Mario Bros. editor where you can click your way through making changes visibly?

*oldmanwinters* · 04-15-2011, 06:12 PM

I just gotta give Frank Maggiore credit for how well thought out his redesign of the JFK airport stage is. Every little section is designed to make the player think twice about every jump. It's so challenging but so good! I can't imagine what devious traps he's got in store for the last section of the stage (the two rooms with spiked walls closing in on the player come to mind).

Yeah I actually found the levels themselves to be hard but the bosses to be easy.

*shuriken* · 05-04-2011, 03:26 PM

Fighting 20 Rocksteadys is hilarious

Boy Wonder · 05-11-2011, 12:24 PM

A couple years ago when I got my Game Genie for the NES I tried to beat this with the invincibility cheat on and I couldn't even do that. At somepoint near the middle of the game I fell into a fire pit and couldn't get out. I wouldn't die, but I couldn't jump out. I'll stick to the arcade games where I can Game Genie it up to my heart's content

Demon-Alukard · 05-11-2011, 01:35 PM

Awesome Hack! I've passed the first level =)
Second one is a hard enough too...

Yeah, I agree! I really appreciate the opportunity to test my skills against the hardest enemies in unfamiliar settings!
