I beat it, just wasn't all that fun

>>8759087
I enjoyed it anyway

Music and design makes it fun even if you do need to learn it to "get good"

Remake of this would be awesome

One of the more baffling aspects of early TMNT products like this game and the first movie is that they seemed to be more influenced by the original comics rather than the much more popular kid friendly cartoon. It’s really strange that the first NES game used this artwork for the box art.

>Okay, you can be the Queen of Diamonds. Now, we take this Jack, which is Jason and shuffle him into these piles which represent cabins. The goal of the game is to find out which cabin Jason is in!
Basing the game concept on the card game from part 6 was a cool idea.

>>8760015
the cabins light up when jasons in them

The first TMNT is pretty much Zelda 1 + Zelda 2 in one game.
Why hasn’t anyone ever tried it again?

>>8759087
Everything is pretty good about this game but it was fucked by bad level design. Seriously it controls well and beating the shit out of stuff feels satisfying but the levels were a fucking mess. I'm not even talking about the difficult levels, the easier levels were just bad and clunky too.

>>8759721
Every single game you listed is good.

>>8760112
It feels like Zelda 2 because it's based on Getsu Fuma Den which itself was obviously Konami's answer to Zelda 2

>>8760118
The first two are, not the rest.

Dick Tracy on the NES.

Donkey Kong Country 3
Putting a DKC game in kong canada was a great idea and there are a lot of cool level concepts, just a shame the level design is so mediocere and annoying

>>8760421
The rest are good aswell, but only the first 5 are what most people will enjoy. The other two are a bit closer to bargain bin games.

>>8759240
wat?
this games great

>>8760403
Would you look at that? There's a translation patch too.

It actually recently got an official western release, bundled with Konami's reboot of Getsu Fuma Den

>>8760403
Doesn’t play a thing like getsu fuma lol

>>8762261
Yeah, but Mike Matei has come out in defense of the game several times.

>>8762348
yeah, because it is a good game

If you think TMNT on NES is bad, try it on Spectrum. You'll appreciate the NES game a whole lot more.

>>8762203
is there a rom of that?

>>8762253
it does, you have the whole system of overworld + sidescrolling levels you can enter from both sides and which scroll from both sides; with, with some levels being optional and others being a multipath. Progression is based on getting weapon upgrades along the way.

some of the attacks and moves are also incredibly similar, from the way the katana slashes behave, to the rolling jump, throwing shurikens (did the turtles EVER throw a shuriken in the source material?), but also enemies behaviour.
There are also tons of sounds re-used from Getsu Fuma Den

>>8763363
No, it really doesn’t, but you can keep whatever opinion you have about it, just know it’s wrong

>>8763648
You're retarded. Don't post here anymore

>>8759991
Is there any TMNT North American boxart that's based on the 87 cartoon? It was either Mirage illustrations/illustrators lying around doing nothing, or that edgy Konami artist that also did CV4, Contra 3 etc

>>8763654
>TMNT is a clone of getsu fuma
>here's a completely different game for example

>>8763312
That’s because the Speccy port is so good it turns everything it touches into solid gold

>>8763656
TMNT 2: The Arcade Game

>>8759087
>Games that were "Good Ideas" but "Bad execution"

Rare games

>>8759087
Battletanx 2. It just wasn’t as fun as the first one, no idea why.

>>8759087
Body Harvest on N64. Its not awful but didn’t seem all that great. A few minor tweaks to this formula and you have the GTA series.

>>8763648
When the character jumps, he is pushed upward for a certain time and hitting a wall doesn't cancel velocity - as soon as there's no more ceiling above the character's head, he starts going up again. This is present in both games. Capcom reused their engine over and over again in the NES era, I don't see what would put Konami above building a game on top of a previous release.

>When the character jumps, he is pushed upward for a certain time
Wow, amazing observation a character goes up when they jump
>and hitting a wall doesn’t cancel velocity
(You)

>>8765298
You're trying too hard now.

Silent Hill 4

>>8759087
How was this bad execution?
Pretty sure you just suck at the game.
Unless of course you're talking the C64 version. Because that legit was poorly executed by featuring an unpassable jump.

>>8766879
>How was this bad execution?

Not him but I can think of a few things
>screen scrolls when you're the 3/4th into the screen
>when entering a screen enemies spawn points depend on the scrolling, meaning their position varies depending on how far the screen scrolled when you went up/down the ladder
>some unavoidable dmg with enemies that spawn in your face when entering a screen (sometimes regardless of scrolling)

>>8759087
NAM
WW2GI
(Maybe) Redneck Rampage

>>8766879
>How was this bad execution?
I'm more wondering how it was a good idea

>>8759124
>Otherwise known as "games that were too hard for me to beat"
wasn't your fault. every version of it released on whatever platform was broken, bugged or just fucked up. it was a very rushed title on all platforms for some reason. nes version was the best, despite being bugged and insanely difficult for no apparent reason.
