I didnt even fuck with the first NES game; I went straight to the second one, which was an adaptation of the (first) arcade game...

the first NES game is like stockholm syndrome for a whole generation of children
― Nhex, Friday, 23 March 2012 16:23 (1 year ago) Permalink
It's got great music, absolutely horrible controls. If you lose Donatello/Leonardo you may as well hit reset. The underwater level gave me strife as a kid but i think after 4 or 5 tries I figured it out and it's actually pretty easy to beat once you get through it. Wading through the relentless respawning armies in the following stage, however...

yeah, it's really the first sewer/city level that's the worst
this is coming from someone who was readily able to beat the speeder stage in Battletoads

I salute you. That thing destroyed me

Wow @ speeder stage in Battletoads. You are a god among men.

my memory of being a kid reading Nintendo Power is that every other issue was about Battletoads (and the rest were inexplicably about Star Tropics)

Maybe this 300 page TMNT graphic novel I have from 88 will finally be worth something.
― calstars, Friday, 23 March 2012 18:08 (1 year ago) Permalink
i wonder if this is the reason for all the tmnt references on tv shows l8ly
― Lamp, Friday, 23 March 2012 20:03 (1 year ago) Permalink
no thats because tmnt is a permanent part of the pop culture zeitgeist

i have to say tho that the cartoon and the snes game is probably a much bigger part of my pop culture zeitgeist than the og movies as much as i enjoy 'turtles in time'

can't believe there's not a chillwave band called Star Tropics. or Tar Stropics.

star tropics is good stuff.
was able to get aaaall the way to the technodrome in tmnt and some sadistic shit w an autoscrolling screen where you had to diffuse bombs in battletoads. could never beat either, and man, did i ever waste a lot of time trying.
god, even thinking about these games is basically giving me an aneurysm!!!

How were you able to beat the speeder stage? That part is impossible. Game-breaking bug and they never expected anyone to beat the game.
― Spleen of Hearts (kingfish), Friday, 23 March 2012 23:14 (1 year ago) Permalink
the other levels were nearly impossible - i never did beat the final tower, even using the warps to get there. but the speeder stage could be memorized and doable if you did it a million times. i probably still have it committed to muscle memory, considering how many times i died over and over again. i vaguely remember pausing a lot, training to learn the placement of the blocks and such
now the snake and unicycle levels, forget it.. i think i maybe beat them once ever, if that

used nhex's method of pausing and memorizing nintendo power maps to beat the speeder stage of battletoads iirc

which turtle is Shia Lebouf playing. also what percentage of the Turtles' dialogue will be an offensively awkward attempt at street lingo as filtered through alien amphibians
― Bo Jackson Overdrive, Saturday, 24 March 2012 00:53 (1 year ago) Permalink
as part of mikey bay's homage to silent classics like 'the artist' the turtles won't have any dialogue
― Lamp, Saturday, 24 March 2012 00:58 (1 year ago) Permalink
the pause music in battletoads is better than 99% of other music
