I've been playing this all week and I can beat it without continuing, but I'm not sure how far I was getting on one life. This should be a good one.

I hope to get my first score in sometimes in tomorrow. I'll probably just be in it for the participation point.

This is Manhattan Project, right? Might have to dust it off out of the attic.

Since the rules are one life only, should we take our pictures as soon as we lose our one life and the "turtle select" screen comes up at the bottom of the screen?

I would say it is the best time to take your picture.

It's been a while since I played this. I'll probably post a score later in the week to get a participation point when I come up with something respectable.

In all seriousness, I never played this and I didn't like the second one on the NES! Seems like a participation point week

Broke 100K last night. Tip, the only boss you really need to be concerned about is the first one. Let's see what I can get today and post a pic.

Good timing, I bought a copy of TMNT 3 last week and it's being delivered today. Of course, I haven't played this game in a good 20 years.

No worry, he's simply travelling for a few days.

Got to play this for about 20 minutes tonight. At first glance it doesn't look as good as Turtles 2 but I'm still looking forward to digging into this game tomorrow evening.

I'll give this another go today. Maybe if I try playing it safe by using the throw move more often I'll be able to get farther.

I justed watched James and Mike play turtles in time on cinemassacre.com . (avgn)
And while they're are playing they talk about turtles 2 and 3 for the nes.
Guess what? they compared the tmnt 2 nes version with the arcade version.

I'm so sick and tired about this!
People always talk shit about the nes version.
It doesn't look as good as the arade version.Like seriously??

I played the arcade and the nes version back in the day.
And i think the nes port was great!
It doesn't look as good as the arcade.My god people the nes is not a neo geo aes.
The nes version even has extra levels.(but no 4 players)
The programmers did the best the could with 8 bits.
Give the game some credit.so now i can play tmnt 3

Nerd rage unleashed

It's definitely not THAT bad, but I for one was still disappointed in TMNT 2.  Not so much for the reasons others complain about.  I was just expecting a little bit more faithful translation of the arcade game.

For example, one of my favorite scenes from the arcade game was when you're just about to rescue April and you have to fight Rocksteady and Bebop at the same time.  They replaced that battle with Baxter the Fly.  Not only was he a letdown, but he was also a pushover.

Then they changed some of the BGM music.  My favorite track from the arcade was during the skateboard level, but they didn't use the same tune on the NES.

I also didn't like how they made every level longer.  Things like this make the game kinda drag on, particularly near the end of the game.  I would have preferred a few more new levels instead of what they did, but oh well.  (To be fair, TMNT 3 drags on near the end as well [*cough* rooftop] I don't like it in that game either.)

TMNT 2 is still a very good rendition of the arcade.  I just don't like it as much as I wish I did.
