I'd run through the game again, but for some reason I keep ending up at Pizza Hut instead. I wonder if they would still take one of these:

Well, it did expire 22 years ago.

Thanks for writing. I apologize for the delay in responding to your email during this busy time of year.

In regard to your email, it is great to hear that you have found a copy of Perfect Dark for the Nintendo 64. Perfect dark was a first person shooter game that was released in May of 2000. I personally enjoyed this game a lot during my mid-teen years since it allows for up to four players to play at one time. All the Perfect Dark cartridges were black.

I hope this information is what you are looking for.

-Response I received from Nintendo customer support when I asked if they knew any thing about a black Perfect Dark cart.

I was so psyched from beating Krang that I screwed up Shredder. My own fault. But now I'm confident that I can beat Krang with plenty of life left over for Shredder. Its happening tonight!!!!

UPDATED SCORE: Tier 3 - 739 (Stage 10, Shredder)

I switched to Raphael and had a cool (but rude) run. I had a decent score going into the Technodrome and then I blew it at the liquid nitrogen and Shredder clones.

~~Tier 3 - 740 (Stage 10, General Traag)~~
I played the hell out of this game today and had a decent run but I think I can tighten it up. The low score rule is a great challenge. Looks like the top scores will be very close this week. Hopefully Ninja Gaiden II wins for round 2!

Updated my score although I'm not sure if I should have bothered for an extra 3 points. It would be nice to get in the 720s or even 710s but I seem to always have extremely unwilling participants when it comes to getting hit with background objects. I find it funny that you can kill foot soldiers with traffic cones and candle stands yet they are impervious to giant steel ball bearings.

Tier 1 --- 734 --- Game Completed

Probably the only turtles game on the NES at which I don't suck! Fun little beat'em up, I'll be getting it ASAP! Thanks god for that jumpslash that kills most enemies in one hit. The bosses seem hard at first, but as soon as you get their pattern down, they're easy! The only one that gave me problems is that old chewing-gun Krang. He made me lose one time at Shredder (forgot to snap a pic on this one due to ragequit), but this time it's done!!! See ya on next contest!

I was hoping for Baseball, but sadly, it's not even in contention. I can't stand Ninja Gaiden 2 or Life Force and I've never played Qix, so I'd better keep my fingers crossed for Donkey Kong Jr. to have much of a chance beyond this round.

Well you shoud try to play Qix! It's a great game with some kickass music!

I'm not really into puzzle games (other than Tetris), but I'll make sure to give it a try sometime.

That 3 points may come in handy. The way it's looking, I might be lucky if my current score even gets me to the next round. Donkey Kong Jr. took over the lead for the next round's game, so I'd better step it up. I don't want to miss out on an entire week of potential DK Jr fun!

It's not REALLY a puzzle game, it's more of an arcade game from 1982...

I did that with Krang the game before the run I posted. It is very frustrating.

I'm actually nervous. I may be the first person to no death a game and still get knocked out in the first round. Forget the trash talk, Tier 1 doesn't mess around!

I've actually put a lot of time into Ninja Gaiden 2, Donkey Kong Jr., and Qix so I'm looking forward to playing one of those three if I make it to round 2.

Tier 1 - 717

Finally beat TMNT II in one life!!! Unfortunately it was one of my worst runs in terms of score though. I'm positive I can get it under 710 if I play my cards right. Thanks for the encouragement gutsman!!!
