I always hated Raphael because his weapons never had any reach in the video games. Michaelangelo, and Donatello have always been my favorites.

But in this thing, they just take it so much farther beyond ridiculousness. It's just a massive exercise in 'ok, what's the absolute farthest that we can take this cowabunga pizza thing?' and they take it pretty far, DUUUUUUUUUUUH!

videogame wise Ralph is always the worst. In most games Leo and Mike are the best, and Don is the strongest/slowest.

BTW, I've been working on a feature for my blog that includes the history of TMNT games on GB, GBA and Gamecube. :)

it's so-so. I like the 2nd GCN one the best (probably). The 2nd one, Battle Nexus has The Arcade Game as an unlockable. The 3rd, has Turtles In Time as an unlockable. Anyway, I'll get into all that in the blogpost which should be pretty massive.

Haha sure don't, never did see Encino Man. I like that part where the turtles are walking up the steps with April though.

I did however just watch this:

It was pretty great.

Fucking insane.

I bought this album on cassette at a Pizza Hut when I was 6 years old. "Cowabunga" is the shit and I still listen to this tape occasionally just for this track -- I love the synths that come in right before the chorus.

Sweeeeeeet.

The first Turtles movie is one of my favorite movies ever. It's crazy how dark it is for a kid's movie. The fighting sequences are top notch, the story kicks ass, the Turtles look REALLY good for the time period/budget.... Just an awesome movie.

And who can deny the magic that is TMNT: Turtles in Time for the SNES? Not to mention TMNT: Tournament Fighters is one of my favorite fighting games ever (In reference to the SNES version as well).

Dr. Eugene Felikson 08.07.2010 02:04 AM

^ Definitely! Both TMNT, and Secret of the Ooze are bonafide classics! TMNT was one of the first movies I ever owned, along with Batman Forever. I still own all 3 VHS tapes to this day.

My cousin and I always used to play his copy of Turtles In Time back in the day. He was always Leo, and I was always Mikey, definitely one of the best beat 'em ups on the SNES... only second, in my eyes, to Maximum Carnage.

I used to own a copy of Tournamnet Fighters, but I sold it. I never really liked it all that much... Wing Nut is really fun to play as though.

 


The coolest TMNT related item I ever owned (aside from my countless action figures) was a Raphael raincoat, complete with a hood that bent over your eyes (with simulated red sash), and a turtle shell on the back. I always felt like the coolest kid in the world when I wore that.

atsonicpark 08.07.2010 06:05 AM

I have had everything. All movies, all comics, all toys up to a point. Costumes, posters, video games, coloring books, Technodrome, etc.

We might just have determined the coolest person in the history of these forums.

Seriously, that's amazing.

Coolest thing I have is uh, second printing of the second issue.

I know everyone's favorite Turtle game is Turtles in Time, but honestly, Manhattan Project is my favorite. That game's got a great vibe.

My main area of Turtles collecting is the comic books. Though I have those original toys of the four turtles still in their boxes. I'm probably going to sell all of my Marvel comics so I can get some more Turtles comics.

Dr. Eugene Felikson 08.07.2010 07:47 PM

Jus picked up Turtles In Time for $5 at a flea market. It's just as perfect of a gaming experience, as I remember it being. You can tell Konami put a lot of work into every last detail with this one.

I'd love to get my hands on some Turtles comics!

I only played Manhattan Project once or twice a long time ago, and it was a really fucked up copy. I really want to play it again, though.

my favorite is probably The Arcade Game.

Kylerobert 08.17.2010 08:57 PM

I feel like I used to own a TMNT Rap cassette... Was there ever an album/cassette that was exclusively all rap songs? Or am I making this up haha?

yr probably thinking of the first movie sndtrk.

atsonicpark 08.17.2010 09:34 PM


 


I have two copies of this.

I've been reading all the TNMT comics lately. I think I'm going to watch the first film tonight for the first time in forever. It's an easy 10/10.

I had EVERY SINGLE TNMT TOY EVER MADE (from the original series, releasing concurrently with the movies and animated series) a few years back. None in the boxes, d'oh, but all of them, all vehicles, etc.. 90% of em in really good condition... some missing accessories.. a few missing arms/legs.. etc... sold all of them -- all of them -- for $1000... hundreds of toys.. you wouldn't believe some of the insane shit... TNMT as cops... TNMT as horror movie monsters... TNMT as samurais... all kinds of ridiculous shit.

Raphael's the best turtle by far

 


I've got these still

 


the black and white "comic toys". Love 'em.

My favorite toy I still have is the INVISIBLE AMBUSH Predator..

 


You had to buy all the other Predator toys and send in all the proofs of purchases and they sent you this. Pretty rare, yet it goes for like $2 online. Just no demand for it I guess. Meanwhile the not-rare-at-all technodrome goes for like $400 in the box. Anyway...

Count Mecha 08.17.2010 09:35 PM

A year or two ago I made an iron on t-shirt of the bottom right panel from this page in Issue #2.

http://ninjaturtles.com/comics/mirage/two/22.jpg

I'd just hotlink the picture, but the turtles website usually breaks them. And the link is touchy, you'll probably have to copy and paste it.

Is the first movie really rap oriented? I just remember that Tequila bit where they say Ninjitsu! instead.

Both of these are amazing. I'd love to have both. Even if the only difference appears to be one's in color and the other isn't.

The thing that's lame about that predator though is that it's the exact same mold as another predator toy. The finger on the right hand is a dead giveaway. Wish I could find a picture of it. So that sucks, not even unique beyond the see through stealth thing.
