How did you find out about the TMNT - Page 2

Shredder's Girl · 04-01-2004, 08:54 PM

My passion started in 1991 during a trip to the USA. I found the 1989 Arcade game and simply loved it! So when I returned to my country I started to watch the cartoon and get the NES games. I'm still watching the old toon series and I'm currently buying some tapes with episodes from this series.

The earliest I can remember was buying a Archie comic in 1991 (just around the time movie #2 came out. And it had a little contest where 20 readers could win tickets to the movie, I tried it out, and won! One of the few comics I have left is a later one which has my name among the winners

My sister brought me back a pirate version of the first TMNT movie in the summer of 1990, she was on holiday in Spain, I think.
I instantly loved them, btw I don't think I'd seen the cartoon before that.
It was the American version too, so it was uncensored which was really cool, I got to see it about 50 times before it was released in cinemas in Ireland ha, ha.

It was TMNT...everyone knew about it, it was a huge thing during my childhood. Avoiding it would be impossible.

i really don't know how i found TMNT but it was the old series and the archie comics for me probably about 89, when i was in kindergarten. I didn't even know about the mirage Universe and the all red tmnt till like 97. I thought any TMNT art i saw was a flub if the team had red bandanas...ha. now i'm wiser and wish i could invest in the mirage comics and for nestelgia purposes the old show and archie comics...i won't grow up u can't make me!!!

I was about 4 or 5 and I ran home from the playground to my house and turned on FOX to watch The Real Ghostbusters. Ghostbusters wasn't on and some intro to a new show about some Turtles or something was on.

Throughout about half the intro I was too busy being pissed to notice what the show was. Then I saw that part with Mikey doing his whole little Nunchaku thing knocking Shuriken and stuff away and it caught my attention.

The episode came on and it was the one where Baxter got turned into a fly. I was hooked from then on out.

When the first 5-ep mini series appeared, I watched it out of curiousity and was hooked. I didn't miss it when they rerunned the 5-ep thing again and went crazy when they got their own series! Games, movies, the Archie comics.. I was even lucky enough to get an issue from the City at War series.
