Absolutely brutal game, but damn if it isn't nostalgic. Kind of hard to call it "fun," per se. I don't think I made it much farther than the underwater bomb defuse as a kid, but thanks to the "Cowabunga Collection" and the rewind feature, I finally beat this game. The music is still infectious.
I wish I could rate this one higher because I love Ninja Turtles (the 90s movie is an all-time favourite)! But this game was just so dang difficult! Even if I was lucky enough to make it past the notorious dam level, I never did make it past Area 3. It wasn’t until college, when I saw a friend playing through it on an emulator, that I discovered just how much of the game there was still left to beat!
It didn’t help either that they had weird choices for enemies that seemed totally out of place with what I knew of TMNT.
I appreciate the strategy needed to beat this game much more as an adult. My kid patience game (pun?) handled TMNTs 2 The Arcade Game on NES better, but now I think I want to do a playthrough of this game at some point.
I'm STILL a humongous TMNT fan. This game was heaven for me. I forced myself to love it, even though half the enemies have nothing to do with TMNT. The graphics were actually really good for the game. Music was outstanding. The water level...is hard but like the Battletoads Turbo Tunnel, it wasn't the most difficult part. You NEEDED Nintendo Power to beat this game back in the day so you knew where to find enough scrolls and pizzas along the way. Plus, it has the most kick-ass box art and one of my favorite TMNT pictures of all time.
Jesus. Just seeing the artwork again gave me a panic attack. This game was insanely tough and I’m fairly sure there were teeth marks in my controller because of it.
Look I'm just going to say it...hard for the sake of being hard isn't good. Nigh impossible without a Game Genie. The water level is notorious for not only setting the bar for water levels being annoying and difficult but for being the benchmark of laughably impossible gaming levels with or without water (give me the Battletoads bikes any day). The rest of the game is fun but you'd never know it. Generational trauma for people.
Like many NES games this one requires a lot of time to figure out how to get through the levels. You will lose... a lot. But it's fun and satisfying every time you advance a little further.
