Me too, aswell as TMNT 2 Arcade.

I have one for playing and 1 of each still shrink wrapped.

I would like TMNT 2 arcade, been looking for it.

Either 2 or 3. It's hard to choose. TMNT III has everything compared to part 2, better moves, you can actually attack things without them smacking you around mid-attack, better graphics, updated characters like Slash, Groundchuck and Dirtbag, everything's new and never-before-seen, weapon range, throws, etc. I still love TMNT 2 cause as it simple as it was, it's still based on the classic arcade game that I spent a lifetime of quarters on back in the 90's.

I always loved "The Manhattan Project" because I had Game Genie at the time, and with the infinte lives option I could keep changing turtles every time I ran out of of energy for a life.

I played TMNT III again the other day all the way through. God, I love that game.

It's very "cinematic", or at least as much as an NES game can get. The way the Foot Soldiers interact with the environments is really superb. SMashing through windows, popping out of manholes, sliding from tunnels, coming down poles, jumping over the edge of a bridge, being manufactured Terminator-style in the Technodrome, popping out of the sand, pretending to be statues...the list goes on. These are just the grunts you kill with 1 or 2 hits to rack up points, and a lot of effort went in to making them cool.

Then there's the bosses. They were all very unique-looking, and for the most part, really cool. My favorites were Slash, Tokka and Super Shredder. Their special moves were best; Slash's spin attack, Tokka slamming you into the electric billboard, biting your head or blocking your jumpkicks with his shield (he was really cool) and then Super Shredder and his crazy Dragonball Z sh*t.

Then there's the graphics. The game was made close to the end of the NES's lifespan, so the graphics were at their finest. The villains, the levels and everything else looked great and rarely flickered or slow-moed.

And the controls were great, too. You could jumpkick your enemy, impale then and hurl them over your shoulder, hit em with a special move or just slash in the face. A wide variety of options and the controls were so simple and easy to use, you never got screwed up.

It's not only the best TMNT game (IMO) but one of the best NES games, period.

All 3 of the nes Ninja Turtles games were excellent. I picked the 2nd one because I played that soo many times.
The 2nd one was so good because it was like the cartoon had all the enemies you saw in teh show and the turtles were cool to play with.

The first one was challanging. I can only make it to stage 3 until you had to jump over a legdge which was like impossible. The 3rd one I really didn't play much. It was still good and still challanging like the other 2.

I like 1 the best because it was more of an adventure game and wasn't as action oriented as the latter ones.

mine would be Tournament Fighters, but out of the 3 listed id have to say a tie between TMNT(1) and Manhatten Project.
