My favorite: TMNT 2 for NES not the arcade version, I like the NES version better. 2nd favorite: TMNT 3 3rd favorite: TMNT 1 and I haven't played any of the others. Although I played Turtles in Time in the arcade for about 5 minutes. Couldn't beat Baxter at the time.

I feel sorry for the kids whose only TMNT experiences were through the crappy obsolete NES system. That system was cool for original titles, but when it came to arcade conversions...OUCH! Luckily when SNES came about they were able to better port the arcade rgaphics, such as Turtles in Time.

I just downloaded the brand new MAME32.63 Windows release, and wow. All the sound problems and glitches have been fixed from the previous issue. And my...there is nothing more glorious TMNT video game experience wise than the 1989 original arcade game!

**Karpo_007** · 01-15-2003, 04:15 PM

You are absolutely right! TMNT 3 for nes wasn't that bad, but TMNT 2... Well after playing the arcade you can't go back...

*Deathknight* · 01-15-2003, 05:03 PM

Sure you can, I like the NES version better cause it has longer and more stages. But the major thing I didn't like about the arcade is that it eats away your quarters soooooo fast.

Are you talking about in general, or with one of the games specifically? For the original TMNT game, yeah, it was fixed, but I noticed the problem was taken away when .62 came out. As for Turtles In Time, it still has the major problems of types of foot soldiers and that little glitch that shows something that looks like a pair of certain " perky female organs" instead of a shadow.

Oh, and I downloaded Golden Axe: The Revenge of Death Adder, but I'm guessing the ROM wasn't dumped correctly or something because there's not backdrops in the game! Plus it runs slow, that and Alien 3: The Gun (which also has some scenery problems...)

The longer and added levels were a way to make up for the amount of enemies you encountered at one time. Not only did you only face 3 at a time max (Foot Soldiers), which in itself makes for a boring game, not to mention the consistent attack patterns, but only one TYPE of enemy could be fought at a time. No two types of Foot Soldiers could fight you at the same time. Bleh...MAJOR bleh!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the point of ALL arcade games to get your money as quick as and as much from you as possible?

Hmm, never thought of it that way, but I still love the snow level and the level where you fight the samurai. And I know that all arcade games are meant to get as much cash as you as possible but it got ridiculous at times at how fast you could die. The helicopters that drop the bombs in the cheap-skate level usually kill me in one set of bombs and it's not the easiest thing to dodge.

Yes, the new MAME32 just released for windows fixed a lot of glitches. For instance my two fave games Narc and Ninja Warriors are now working perfectly. Revenge of Death Atter is totally screwed up because of the new type of raster bit module used in the board. It was one of the first arcade uprights in 1992 to use a newer type of chipset...hence Im guessing why its a bit messed up, and only displays the characters. Thoguh..there is a ton of even late 90's arcade games that work fine so who knowss.

I got really sick how the mainstream video game magazines would run these retarded "Emulators: Is it right? The pros and Cons" Man, STFU!
Thats why its HILLARIOUS when it says 'only proceed if you own the ROM'. Please. Im pretty sure companies realize people arent gonna shell out $1200 a pop just to play a rom when ya can download the dang thing in milliseconds. Forget Fileplanet, they can suck it. Mame.dk is where you need to go. First register, and the glorious wonders of 3000+ arcades games is yours!

As for the NES TMNT arcade over the arcade version!?!?!?! Yeahhhh...

Turtles in Time! I played it in arcade form in Orlando, Florida the first time and then loved it on SNES. Now I have it in ROM form. I can't get past Slash, his range is too good.

The reason Revenge of Death Adder and Alien 3 don't work properly is because they both run on Sega System 32 hardware, and support for it was just added in MAME 0.63. For more accurate and faster System 32 emulation, try Modeler, at least until MAME's System 32 support is improved. I think you can even use the same ROM sets that you use for MAME with it.

Anyone remember the VERY first TMNT video game? That Konami handheld LCD game? Heh, wow that is going wayyy back^_^

**Karpo_007** · 01-17-2003, 01:33 AM

Never heard of that...

Heh, I couldnt afford a Game Boy in 1989, so that was my only TMNT on the go.^_^

heintzvelvet · 01-17-2003, 03:01 AM

I can understand how some of you can not like the Gameboy Games, but Gameboy was my only game system, other than Atari, and I had turtles 1 and 2 and I thought that they were GREAT!! I loved playing them!
I did get the chance to play The Arcade game at Chucky Cheese and stuff, and the nes games at friends houses, but I would have to say that MY favourite TMNT games are TMNT 1 and 2 for gameboy! Hours of fun for me.

Oh! yes, I have played all the games through Emulators and I still think the Gameboy ones are the best! - I'm really looking forward to seeing what Konami puts out for the new Cartoon!

**Karpo_007** · 01-17-2003, 05:28 AM

Gameboy ones... The first 2 are totally boring. The third had some point in it.

~~Reznorite420~~ · 01-17-2003, 08:07 AM

As for the GameBoy ones, the first 2 were brainless and simple...yet still fun for some reason. Radical Rescue, on the other hand, while a bit more fun and interactive, is a bit too difficult. Does the entire game take place in that underground mine/complex?

And about the LCD versions, there's pictures of them at the official site, so you can save yourself the trouble Shredder (HE ACTUALLY POSTED!), and I don't mean to rip off the second movie with that line
