About this product
Product Information
The "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" game for the Nintendo Entertainment System is loosely based on the 1987 cartoon of the same name. After it was released in May 1989, it became one of the console's most popular games. Although it uses the same characters, the game features an original story created just for the NES. In the story, the Turtles are out to grab the Life Transformer Gun from the evil Shredder. With this gun, they can turn their sensei, Master Splinter, from a rat back into a human. Along the way, the Turtles must also rescue April and even Splinter after the Foot Clan takes them. This game in the action genre will take the average gamer roughly 3 to 4 hours to finish. Its high difficulty level will ensure you won't finish it on the first try, which translates into hours of enjoyable replayability.As you'd expect from a "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" game, you can play as all four Turtles. Each of the "TMNT" characters is controlled the same way but sports different weapons. Donatello attacks with his long bo staff, giving him a longer reach than his brothers. Raphael attacks with his sai, making up for his lack of range with a fast attack speed. Each Mutant Ninja Turtle has his own life bar. When the health of one Turtle gets low, you can swap to another character instantly. Finding and eating pizza in the levels will restore the TMNT back to full health. If one of the team members runs out of health, that means he's out of the action permanently. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles can also find additional weapons to use, including shurikens and scrolls."Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" for the NES takes place over the course of six levels. The levels in these games occur in environments ranging from the sewers to the Technodrome. While the core of these levels features platforming action, the player will be frequently introduced to new gameplay activities. For example, in level 2, you will need to swim underwater to disarm eight bombs. In stage 3, you'll take control of the Turtle Van and drive around the city and also explore on foot, locating missiles to destroy barricades. You'll fight a large number of enemies in the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" games for the NES. You'll fight "TMNT" mainstays such as Bebop, Rocksteady, and Shredder. You'll also fight brand new enemies created just for this version.The graphics for this Nintendo title are a mixture of the cartoon and the original comic book. The heroes themselves resemble their comic counterparts, but they sport the colored masks from the cartoon. The levels themselves also feature a darker color palette. The music in this NES title was composed by Jun Funahashi, who also worked on a number of Konami titles. "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" for the NES sold millions of copies. This popular Nintendo game can still be a blast for fans of the franchise. If you're looking for a fast paced action game with your favorite scaly heroes, then you can like the variety of content found in this title.Product Identifiers

Great TMNT experience from the past!
Product was not functional at first (as most game cartridges are that are of this age). I cleaned the connectors and the game started right up. As one of the first TMNT games available on the market, it is fun to pay and also compare to all the next gen games that followed it. It is fun to play. My rating of the graphics are for a game of its time (it was good for 8 bit graphics).Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Radical!
With games that are over 30 years old, you never know how good they'll work. But both of these games are in fantastic shape, even the cartridges themselves show no real signs of wear and tear. Very happy to have these games back in my life after a few decades! And it's still so much fun to play!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Classic and Tough
This was never a great game, but it was good enough, very challenging, and a prominent part of my childhood. Just broken enough to exploit a couple of glitches for kicks. As Ultra (Konami) games go, the music is is on point. Great memories and still a good one to play.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Old school gameplay
Not necessarily a fair game, but more fair than many NES titles. Innovative in the top-down/side-scrolling format as well as switching character on the fly. Great nostalgia factor!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

It's 1989 BABY!
That's right! If you came here looking to reinforce the negative stigma you've heard about all over the internet about this game, please look away. I grew up with this game. I had it, and I played it non stop. I still love it today. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is one of those games that really does make you a better gamer. I strongly advise any one who needs to improve their gaming skills to tackle this one. It is beatable. It requires ninja skills. Figure out the formula. This game has received so much unnecessary hate across the communities. Youtube celebs like the AVGN slammed this game, and it created a hate on. The masses became afraid to like it, but throw out that public opinion. We're here to enjoy it. I will continue to beat this game until I'm an old man. :)Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
