That’s what classic gaming is all about.The following emulators are available for this game: NeptunJS (JavaScript), Nesbox (Flash), RetroGames (JS) and vNES (Java). I was like Charlie with a the golden ticket in Willy Wonka.

I’ll never forget when my mom let me buy it at a garage sale as a kid (it even had the box and instructions!). There is actually some quality here, despite it being responsible for thousands of broken controllers back in the day. and rush a crappy video game and roll in cash. Companies would just take a popular movie, cartoon, TV show, etc. Most licensed games back in the 1980s and ’90s were trash. Overall, despite the fever-dreams I still have about the underwater level, I still really dig this game in 2018. Why not let them all have swords? I guess that is a different topic for another day. Master Splinter really has some explaining to do for the inconsistency in weapons he handed out to the Turtles. That made it great to just go straight kamikaze with Ralph and Mikey (and their worthless weapons) while saving Leo and Donnie. I always loved that you could switch what Turtle you were on the fly. Plus, it’s worth getting past that level so you can cruise around in the Turtle Van. Turns out the underwater level is a bit easier as an adult (especially when playing on an emulator when you can save). Overall though, the game is pretty rad and does hold up. *Nobody in the history of video games, especially early Nintendo games, has ever said, “Oh, good! An underwater level! This will be fun!” Mario, Turtles, Sonic …all trash. Early Nintendo games were always hard as hell, but this one just felt particularly cruel seeing as it was based on a children’s cartoon. Kids born in the 1980s still have nightmares over the dreaded underwater level* in this game. So lets make it the hardest (expletive deleted) video game of all time.Īnybody who grew up playing the original Turtles game on NES knows exactly what I am talking about. Konami Executive Two: You’re right! A video game starring the Turtles would be a no-brainer. Konami Executive One: You know what’s hot with kids these days? Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Have a game you want to see him take on? You can tweet him or email him : Every week here at he takes a look back at a classic game to see how well it holds up in 2018 with a bit called ‘Remember That Game?’. There are few things Dana Wessel loves more than old-school Nintendo games.
