TMNT II and TMNT III (NES) reviews

*Ecto Jedi* · 06-26-2004, 04:01 PM

Hey guys, here are my reviews of TMNT II: The Arcade Game and TMNT III: The Manhattan Project that I wrote for my upcoming site called "the video game basement."

The main site isn't even close to being finished, but here are the links for those two Turtles games.

Tell me what you think!!

How can you prefer the polar bear to any other characters

*KROW* · 06-27-2004, 01:16 AM

You didn't beat TMNT II?

I did. Many times. It's easy. All you have to do in the entire game is jump-kick the bosses--even Shredder. How could anybody have trouble beating this?

You didn't beat TMNT III, either?

I did that, too. Also many times. And the special moves, although indeed disappointing due to the fact that it drains health, should be used as a last resort. Shredder was a bit harder in this game, yes. But, again, more jump-kicking and in no time Shredder is down.

These games were so fun. They were challenging yet easy once you got the handle of the fighting patterns--which didn't take very long.

Those reviews make me crave to play the arcade turtles game. I played it before but I dont remember it and i never beat it cause I never got very far

I only managed to finish the game because of "savegames"...

How the hell do you manage to defeat Krang without losing 2 lives ?? I tried the jump-kick but he always kicks my butt when I try to go away.. I really don't see any strategy to beat him... And when I face Shredder, I don't have any extra life and I die in a single shot of his Retro Mutagen Ray... (but it's ok for him, he can be defeated)

No, I did not beat TMNT II...however I beat the arcade, but that's easy...As long as you have quarters you can't lose...

But I did beat TMNT III once. Boy had I drunk a lot of Coca-Cola that night...I was bouncing off the walls, and there was just the right amount of grease on the controller...

*KROW* · 06-28-2004, 06:38 PM

Nice, Ecto.

But, to X-FLO, yeah, Krang was pretty damn hard. All I can say is to try your best to avoid him and jump-kick when you get a clear chance. It takes a while. But soon he's flashing red and boom! he's down.

As for Shredder, I don't remember myself how I beat him. If I played it again I'm sure it would come back to me and I could beat him easy.

Sanjuro · 06-28-2004, 07:18 PM

When I was a child I beat TMNT and TMNT II. First one was hard as hell and the day I beat it, it was one of the greatest accomplishments in my life. The 2nd one I beat in the arcade and NES MANY times. Krang was fairly easy, if you were patient. It took a hell of a lot longer, but it worked.

TMNT III I rented and got pretty far. I only could play NES at my dad's house and I would go there on the weekends. I returned the game and next weekend I was planning to rent it again. Next week came and the VIDEO STORE CLOSED!@&%!^$#&#$&%# By that time NES games were phazing out of rental stores and I didn't get to beat the game until a few years after.

*KROW* · 06-28-2004, 09:22 PM

Well, Sanjuro, you're one up on me. I never beat TMNT I. It was just too damn difficult for me. Of course I was real young at the time but if I played it again now I bet I would still have a hard time.

*Spitfire* · 06-28-2004, 09:38 PM

I was going through my old games and I started to play a few. I was playing Spawn. Robocop Vs Terminator, Super Mario World and Tourment Fighters for my SNES and I spanked the hell out of them. I remembered when those games used to be hard as hell and now I just bitch slap it. Im sure I would smack the crap out of these old turtles games too. Ever since I mastered Super Smash Brothers Melee and Devil May Cry Ive gotten faster and more acurate at games. So not much is hard for me

You know, it's funny. I've been playing again TMNT 1 and I realized that I'm not better now than when I was 8 (well maybe a bit). Those good old games were hard as hell, but were simple at the same time

*Coola Yagami* · 06-28-2004, 11:21 PM

the hell? Tora was from the Mirage comics??? Which issue???

*Ecto Jedi* · 07-11-2004, 11:38 AM

Hmm...Thanks guys, you just gave me the idea to review TMNT 1 as well. I didn't really like that one very much, but I'll review it just the same. Any more comments on how I could improve the reviews or which games I should review?

(the TMNT III review is a little short...I'm going to make it longer very soon.)

*KROW* · 07-11-2004, 01:02 PM

How about reviewing the Game Boy games? Or the Sega ones? You could also do an entire article on the history of TMNT and video games with the reviews in it. Just a thought. I think a magazine did that already, though.

*Ecto Jedi* · 07-12-2004, 01:58 PM

Yeah, the point of the site is to archive the "dead" consoles...So we've got sections for NES, SNES, Genesis, PlayStation and N64. No GameBoy though...

Mostly because it's difficult to determine connotation via text, did you mean "Yes there ought to be Gameboy games included" or "No, Gameboy isn't a dead console"? Otherwise, I was just going to point out that technically it is because of the recent success of the GBA. If the first of the two is what you meant, I apologize for stating the obvious.

*Ecto Jedi* · 07-12-2004, 07:47 PM

I do consider the GameBoy a dead console. We just don't have the time to create a section for it.

For anyone who hasn't played the entire Arcade version of TMNT, check this out:

Kind of a picture guide.

*KROW* · 07-12-2004, 09:59 PM

Whoa. I just scrolled through the whole thing. It felt like a movie. I especially like the end credit noticed by Dr. Doom. That WAS funny. You're awesome Ben. Awesome.
