TMNT videogame memories

lilonardo · 05-07-2005, 06:21 AM

Do you have memories of old TMNT games? I only have 2 :

1. Watching my brother play the original TMNT game on the Commodore 64
2. Watching footage of "TMNT tournament fighters" on the Super Nintendo via a machine in a store of which shows you footage of new videogames (you can choose which game you want to watch by using an arcade style joystick)

I remember playing the original TMNT game on the computer. I used to play it for many hours.

I had lots of fun with that game until I lost the instruction manual, because for some reason we always had to put codes in before we could ever start the game

I remember playing tmnt1 for nes and how hard it was. then tmnt 2 came along and blew me away. i was amazed that could be done on nes.

I remeber years ago back in 89' when TMNT one came out my best friend (at the time) brought it over to my house one day after school. I was blown away by how good the graphics were at the time and we spent a good afternoon playing it. I also liked how it was hard and took time to beat. I remeber level 3 taking me a good 4 weeks to master. Man those purple tanks sure got annoying. And level 2 was hard too. Took me about 2 weeks to finish. The seeweed was frustrating. I played that game probably obsessively for 4 months before I finally beat it for the first time. Now I can beat it without getting 1 gameover, and it is still one of the best games I haver ever played to this day.

The first time I ever saw and played the original TMNT arcade beat-em-up at Chuck E. Cheese's back in the late 80s. One of my fondest, if not my very fondest memory ever for any video game. My eyes were glued to the screen because the graphics were so crisp and sharp and the characters and everything looked just like they were from the cartoon. Back then, 16-bit graphics were pretty damn impressive. Just the fact that you and 3 other friends could pop in quarters and play as all 4 ninja turtles kickin foot soldier butt and tryin to get to the shredder... that was just too cool. The NES version which came out later on turned out to be not nearly as good. You could only have 2 players, and the graphics were 8-bit instead of 16-bit, so they didn't look nearly as cartoony and good as the arcade version. It was fun though, and I'd go over to my neighbors house every day after school just to play it cuz I couldn't afford a copy.

first one i remember was back in 1991 my teacher was always pissed at me becouse i never done my homework. well i would have done them if it hadent been for tmnt in time. my best friend had super nintendo and we always played turtles in time.
we were in our own world and could play for hours after hours with out no break. the second backflash was in 1993 when i got my hands of a tmnt game on gameboy and i played the game in school classes offcourse with no sound. but in fact everybody walked around that time with gameboys and played like crazy.

i just finnished turtles battle nexus and it was ok but not as good as the older games for late 80s and early 90s.
the graphic was better not a surprise really but the game does not stand up for todays standard or the standard turtle games like in time had.
i hope they can give out the old tmnt games on ps2 or x box or even game cube.
i have the old street fighter games from 1991 and 1993 on ps2 and i love it
so i hope they come out with some tmnt stuff soon or ill go crazy.

I remember playing TMNT 4 with my uncle for hours on end. I loved that game as a kid, still do o_O. And I remember the first time I played TMNT 1 in the arcade. I spent an hour and about 5 bucks trying to beat it

*Weapon X* · 06-20-2005, 11:10 PM

That would be cool, I hope they do it, if not on a console even a release on PC would be nice, like Konami did with the old castlevania games, those games bring back a lot of memories and are fun to play and I would love to be able to sit down at my PS2 and play them on one big TMNT anthology or something.

Man i have a lot of tmnt game memories but my first was when I played part one when i was about four years old. that was so hard and i barely beat it like last year. so overall it took me like 11 years.
Another great Tmnt memory is when my younger cousin and i passed tmnt 3 manhattan project for the first time when i was like twelve . I almost cried i was so happy
