TMNT: Manhattan Missions Discussion

retr0pia75 · 07-10-2016, 02:41 PM

I saw that there wasn't a thread dedicated to this game (though that's probably because of how obscure it is), so I decided to help out with that.
For those who don't know, Manhattan Missions (not to be confused with the recently released Mutants in Manhattan) was an action-adventure game released in 1991 for MS-DOS. It was based on the then-ongoing 1987 cartoon, but was more akin to the original Mirage comics in terms of visuals and story. Characters such as Shredder, Casey Jones, and even the Triceratons appeared. The game also had a time-limit similar to Spider-Man Vs. The Kingpin (another obscure game).
For those who know about this game's existence and have also played it, what are your thoughts?

This was one of my favorite TMNT games, because it was basically a mirage-based Game, that actually used OT elements. Plus it felt like each of the missions were separate stories, with an overall story leading to the end

Agreed. I always thought that the Mirage comics could lend themselves greatly into a video game format with their violent nature and all. I've always wanted to see a game that was based on them 100%.

Pulling characters from TMNT & Other Strangeness was a massively bizarre choice... which I fully support.

This game is a hidden gem, especially when you consider the fact that so many licensed PC games of the early 1990s were complete trash.

Oh, yes. Now that I think about it, a lot of early PC games really weren't that great.
