The Music of Video Games [44] TMNT 2

[mrreeg]

I always thought 2:56 was the best music and that one day it would be sampled in a rap song. I guess a lot of rapper never played TMNT 2 when they were young lol

[RonnyVain89]

I love the drum beat on this.

[nintygaming]

I never will forget renting this game in 1990 and enjoying it to the fullest. I would finish watching my Saturday morning cartoons and then tear through this game (or so I thought at the time, I was young though) over and over with the code for I think it was 9 lives and allowed advancing to the last level. The game was so impressive to me at a time when I was so young that I didn't even know what "good graphics and sound" were, all I knew was this game was INCREDIBLY FUN TO PLAY!

[budmon5587]

I still have this game and the booklet that came with it. The back page of the booklet was a coupon for a free large pizza from either Pizza Hut or Domino's Pizza. I can't remember which pizza place because it's been a while since I've looked at the booklet, but I do remember not cashing in on the free pizza because I didn't want to destroy my booklet. LOL

[hockeycox07]

I like how Raph just calmly walks through the level bitch slapping the foot clan.

[CMOODO]

i own this game, thought thought all of you needed to know

[RonnyVain89]

@CMOODO ha-ha.

[GialloHorror]

Well, now here's a fucking classic! This game was so much better than the original. It was more like the arcades version. I remember spending hours at the arcade playing TMNT with my friends LOL!

These games bring back so many memories 

[CMOODO]

waaay better then the original Ninja turtles theme song

[CHighwind]

The technodrome music is awesome, I'm looking for a metal version of it, because it is perfect for electric guitars.

[Hazanko84]

I had this game man, and this brings back emotions I havent felt in awhile. Brought a tear to my eye!

[Crooky0]

The 2 best stage themes in the game weren't included in this compilation, ugh.

[George91280]

Love this game. But the Arcade version was better. Me and 3 other buddies at a birthday party at a bowling alley or a pizza hut, I cant remember, beat this game in like 3 hours and like $30 in quarters! HA Great times!

[Crowster12781]

@George91280 This game and the X-Men arcade game took so much of my damn money when I was a kid...I'd probably be rich as hell if not for these games.

[th3planetsghost]

No, you are new, I've been on the internet for 14 years. I understand your enthusiasm we all loved this game when we were little...but...cmon..its what? 20 years later.. cmon. maybe talk a bit cooler and less like some gay person.

[JustinEvitable80]

The first level should've been added. Besides that, most were the good ones

[SesaruMKM]

You forgot the one from stage one! It was a good song, in my opinion. (:

[Camwi]

Man, this game was such a blast to play. Awesome music and everything, but man, whoever came up with the idea to have an attack move that drains your health should be shot!

[julesTEO]

@Camwi

maybe that guy was just thinking about TINSTAAFL at that time (anoying as it is) the principle is the same hehe

[jorgemiguelhp]

is the magic of the MIDI

[Challseus]

I loved the boss music in this!

[figassss]

Agreed =D..Damn i played this game so muuch those songs really kept me going with a smile on my face like :"Bring it ooooon" =D hehe ^^

[KineticsReborn]

the character select music (starts at :17) is awesome.

[cheapspace]

0.35 best boss music eva!!!!

[OfExecution]

Exactley !!!

[superrandy69]

michelangelo sucked in the game

[stingfeyd]

c7lee I totally agree! they should have made X-men arcade for NES and Simpsons arecade for NES!

[XrisSmiles]

Konami had that distinct sound, i knew a Konami game when i heard it

[c7lee]

was anyone else ever disappointed they never did the same arcade-console transfer for the x-men arcade game?

[FSinWCR]

i was more saddened there was never one for the Simpsons (other than an apparently crappy PC port)

[helikestv]

Dude, I waited forEVER in vain for them to do an SNES port of X-Men. Then again, nothing is the same as playing that gigantic 6-way cabinet with 5 other people.

[MarveIed]

I was wondering if anyone else remembered that game. That's a game BEGGING to be brought to X-Box Live with co-op play.

[grayfox1471]

The Arcade version of it IS on XBL. I have it on my 360 right now.

[KamiKaZantA]

BEGONE VILE NECROMANCER! Leave my dear old, pure, AWESOME NES-games alone!

[nyamco02]

whoever is playing this is doing a damn good job. i've heard to many people whine about how there is no action in a game like this. this is straight art of war technique.

[VengaboysRbackINtown]

Do you like war then?

[Effedup]

I couldn't even tell you how many hours I spent on this game when I was kid...good fucking times :)

[MickeRamone]

I remember playing this the first time at some arcade...I was like 6 y old, And I remember I thought the fire at bottom off the screen in the first stage looked so real! haha

[n40p69]

This game was so fucking awesome.

[alejandrolm21]

COWABONGA

[TuucciZ]

At first I couldn't remember a thing. Then, at 2:25, I realize: "Holy shit, the rhino guy is going to come with the drill thing to get his ass kicked. Damn, I've played this game!"

Oh, the memories.

[jp7725]

i spent many quarters playing this one in the arcade

[Trapster2]

I played this with my cousin many years ago.

[vancity9]

agreed, the technodrome music is so tiiiight.

[RyukendenY]

Best song in TMNT 2 is in Technodrom stage.

[DrJohnCockwalrus]

The only NES music I like better than the Technodrome theme in this game is Dr. Wily Stage I/II in Mega Man 2.

Fucking awesome.

[majortom321]

loved the music

[LoneWolfLogan]

Great vid and music uptakes. made this ol' shellback smile at his pizza a little easier haha Rated you a +5 !

[EvilOstrich]

The Technodrome music is fucking epic!!

[LoneWolfLogan]

ahh memories! I agree the Technodrome theme rocked. I remember when I was a kid going to the arcade to play this game.back then 10 bucks in quarters for four of us to play it . We had a crowd of gamers watching me and my crew shell it out. Was a great game then, still is today!

[strugglepoo]

You might want to note that the original arcade version was done by Mutsuhiko Izumi (who also worked on the arcade version of TMNTIV) & Miki Higashino. Keizou Nakamura arranged and composed the additional stage themes for the NES version.

[garudoh]

Sure, that sounds noteworthy to me. Thanks for the info man, I modified the description for this entry, as well as the arcade version (was missing Miki there apparently). Props man, always cool when users help me out here and there.

[Gladchild08]

I loooove this game, but the first part of level 4 is a chore to do after beating the game a bunch of times, and those guys with the spears I hate fighting.

My favorite music is the snow world. (not played)

[mackincheese]

this was the first video game i ever played. :D I was like 3 when it came out.

[lirale]

GOSH. I used to play this game for hours with my little brother XD Such good memories.

[4Kidsenthater]

D: where's the first one

[x3n0g3ai2s]

Besides annoying bosses in this game, I love every part of this game!

[majortom321]

the bosses were pretty good..

i replayed the game.. and unfortunatley i got disapointed with fighting the foot soldiers it was repitive .. 2 hit kill .. or 1 combo

[L324RT12]

I was 8 when this game came out. I can remember waiting in line for hours at the arcade just to play one game.

[MyssHydra]

Awesome, thanks for uploading it.

[knowsthatknowledge]

Man, i was 12 when this game came out. I love old school video game music;NES, SNES, Sega, you name it.
