  • Thumbs up if you played this when you were a kid and now wanna play this game when you're a grown man!

  • I love this game. AVGN and Irate Gamer suck at this game. Not all hard games are bad. This is a good game AVGN bashed because of how difficult the gameplay is, so fuck him. The controls were decent, graphics were great, and the gameplay carried this game to a million copies sold. It just pisses me off AVGN bashed this game.

  • I haven't played this game in 21 years, but I've always remembered the tune of the 'overworld'. Maybe because I was 5 years old, so obsessed that I wore nothing but TMNT clothes and this game was the most exciting thing in the world for me. Awesome to see it all again. :D

  • i had this game when i was younger, and i downloaded it to my wii. still cant beat the water level.

  • Very true about the water level but i remember my big brother would nail it every time, evreytime he did i thought he was some kind of computing genius! Hard game but a truely brilliant piece of my childhood!

  • oh my dam!!!!! miss it soooo much. used to spend hours blowing my cartridge (yes...i said blowing) to get this dam game to work. then would spend many more hours playing it...simply cause i knew if i turned it off...it may take another 3 hours just to get it working again...good ol' nintendo lol

  • ahh the memories... the dam level used to give me emo rage

  • man this game was ridculously hard, especially the underwater and the last couple of levels. fuck

  • It's the world's shittiest turtle game. it's single palyer and that's superlame! If youn finally get to the dam, just kill yourself you don't stand a chance! :D:D

  • if bebop was so easy to beat then why did they even put him IN this game? bebop and rocksteady are harder to beat in the 2nd and 3rd games.

  • Call me crazy,but I don't think this is necessarily a bad game. It's really tough and has it's flaws, but seems to have nostalgiac value to those who've played it in the NES days.

  • i remember standing up there with don and killing rocksteady by holding down and A. lol the memories

  • 1:36 best music in the game

  • HATE moment on 6:23. Dropped down to the floor there multiple times.

  • I like how they came up with all these fake bad guys that were never in the comics or the old show.  There was never a guy made of fire, mechanical flies, or fucking LEATHERFACE in the old show.

  • I could get to the last level inside the technodrome, but could never find Shredder. That's why I'm watching this, to see where the hell he is. I hope you go that far, anyway, hahahaha.

  • water level!!!!! respect man you did it

  • I play this game on a PC emulator, don`t have the NES. I lost it!

    Anyhow the game is much harder for me now.

  • i would spend hours playing this back in the day.

  • Pro lol

  • nostalgia hits me very critical. seriously. I bought this game some 15 odd years ago, came home, and went to sleep at 3 a.m. Never will be the golden times of my childhood again...

  • I like how the last hit on Rock Steady was giving up on hitting him from Donatello's stick and just getting the last hit in

  • These games were much more realistic than today's games. Back in the day they had one very important message: When your health is gone, you're dead, and it's all over. No checkpoints. Nothing.

    ...

    So eat a lot of pizza to regain your health and use your most useless brother if you ever need to defuse bombs in electric alguae infested waters.

  • Oh man good times!!!

  • I hated the water lvl

  • Great fun game - but bloody difficult !!

  • kids these days are so lucky....growing up as a kid 20 years ago, i wanted to cry because I couldn't beat this game.

  • This game is horribly difficult!!!!

  • This game gives me nothing but awesome memories as I remember playing this as a kid throughout my summer holidays! However even to this day I could never get pass the Technodrome! once im inside im always certain to meet my doom!!

    kool vid my friend! =D

  • most irritating and annoying part of the game starts @ 6:38

  • Are you playing this on a harder difficulty somehow? It seems a lot more difficult than regular... which is hard enough!!

  • this games hard cant past that Airport level

  • сколько я джойстиков поломал на этой игре... эта самая сложная часть...

  • I always got stuck in this game soon after getting the turtle van... if I even got past the water level o_o

    A year or two ago, I decided to give this game another shot, figuring I'd be better at it now than I used to be.

    Seconds after starting, I got run over by a foot clan vehicle in the street. I gave up minutes later :P

  • I played the shit out of this game when I was a kid. To the point where levels like the electric seaweed could be completed without taking any damage. I was never able to beat the game though. My older God brother and I would try and beat it for hours and never get any further. He told me his cousin or friend was really good at it and he could beat it for us. One day he actually showed up and we got to see him beat what we couldnt for ages. It was the most amazing thing I ever saw at that point.

  • Resource usage post-mortem for TMNT for the NES: 80% music, 10% art, 5% gameplay, 3% level design, 2% jumping, walking, and swimming animation.

  • I never realized how epic the dam music was until now. Shit's like a prog metal anthem.

  • I never ONCE in my entire gaming life got the hang of this game

  • like in the wwf quick tag ins and tag outs were the key to surviving in this game...

  • You can change the character????? :O

    hahahahaa now I know why i LOOSE

  • This game is so hard - and I suck so hard at it - it makes me laugh. It's a miracle if I can complete the dam bomb level. But I keep coming back to it. It's so culturally significant to me, and just plain cool with its music and graphics.

  • wow u talk way too much in that video

  • Courageous way of dealing with the rhino

  • WOW! i used to actually play this game and had some fun

  • AVGN RIGHT

    THIS GAME IS GARBAGE

    ITS SHIT VOMIT IN BUFFALO TURD

    AVGN SHOULD HAD BURN IT

    BUT AT LEAST JAMES SHOWED THIS TO BE FUCKING GARBAGE!

  • @metriodpower I like AVGN as much as the next guy but it's fans like you that make me wish he wasn't so popular.

  • Hardest part for me was always figuring out where to go. What the heck is that fire thing!? o.o

  • i cry.

  • Fun game ever ya.

  • I'm glad I'm not the only one that thought the dam level was a bitch.

  • Is that the master system II shinobi's engine ?

  • this is a real game....they dont make em this good anymore, classic. oh the memories.

  • til this day....this is probably one of if not THE HARDEST GAME I EVER PLAYED....there is NO other game that had me throwing my controller like this game!!!

  • Is the girl tied up at 1:24 topless? I think I see nipples.

  • That last jump, before going outside to the top of the dam, use to burn me up. When I thought I had it, then I fall down & start all over again. Oh, the memories.....

  • I remember the damn level with water,I've failed many times and got angry hehe

  • I swear I can't even watch this game being played... I get to scared that he's going to die and have to do the water level over agian....

  • I CAN't make the jump at 6:22.

  • 7:55 - 8:00. the biggest pain in the butt ever lol

  • Mother fucking bee bop and rock steady!

  • Wow.. This reminds me why I died so many times in the water.. This guy knew what he was doing and still only had 30 seconds and 3 blocks of life left :(

  • what the hell is a longplay? 100%ing the game?

  • @Nickj109 A longplay is playing the game without rushing it.

  • Great game. the music from the cartdrige version wasn't that speed, though.

  • Shredder made 5 troll accounts and voted negative.

  • You just brought me way back........ wow

  • water level made me shit brix as a kid

  • @Blacknerd Yes, the water level was a sum bitch.

  • i just HATED them - not only bit in my controller ONCE if u know what i mean ... but it was a damn fantastic game ^^

  • @cowboyzfan713 The water level always made me quit the game for months on end before I could be bothered trying it again =((

  • @cowboyzfan713 but the music to it is superb.

  • I love this game. I wish people wouldnt always shit on it. It still is my favorite Ninja Turtles game.

  • loved the Konami NES pause sound. :D

  • Wow this game was hard for me back then.

  • why risk donatello on the water level?!

  • OH MY GAWD I LOVED THIS GAME I REMEMBER WHEN I WAS 4 YEARS OLD PLAYING THIS ahh classic games XD

  • Finally beat this game this morning after twenty years. Good times.

  • I miss this game so much!

  • Crystal clear graphics, excellent job, what did you use to capture this video? A Dazzle?

  • I never got past the water level because of how long it was. who has the patience to give that kind of extreme precision effort for such a long time? and then the freakin timer runs out on you.  Undoubtably one of the most assholish levels ever made for any game.

  • @waldoman7 Coulda been worse... you might have had to escort someone through that whole underwater mess at the same time.

    It's really not that difficult anymore, but back in the mid '90s being able to get through both this level and the Turbo Tunnel in Battletoads without losing a life would automatically get you recognized as a video gaming god.

  • @PascalHoomiku

    I master most games with ease these days. I dont' do much online play anymore because it got too easy. Yet i tried this level again recently and failed. Sure i only gave it one go and i was not in a patient mood, but still....

  • Man I would love it if they would make an HD remake of this game, I always liked it, it was one of my first NES games along with Super Mario 1

  • the old good games :')

  • This gameplay and this game is like ninja gaiden style

  • Loved this game as a kid, remember how easy it was to defeat Rocksteady as Donatello in this game

  • I swear that jump you made at 6:23 used to drive me fucking insane!

  • @slyslasher Me too:>

  • I never use Donatello in the water level. I always bring in Raphael and let him take some for the team. If I owned a Lamborghini and a Ford Escort, I would make sure to drive the Escort through a freezing rain storm. If I'm coaching a football team, and we're leading 42-0 in the 4th quarter, I'm pulling my super stars and letting the second and third stringers get some action.

  • I like how the turtles mate with the bombs to disarm them.

  • I haven't played this game in like 16 years but these levels and music come right back watching this! haha! Awesome game, i remember sucking at it.

  • When Donny Rescue April..He walks like a pimp and he has that bad ass music..LEgit

  • It's insane how easy you make it look.

  • This brings back some good memories, i could never pass inside the technodrome bastard hard.thanks very much for uploading

  • amazing game.

    amazing player.

  • I domminated the water level when I was child. Good times with that game.

  • the water level THAT DAMN WATER LEVEL!!!

  • The flies ( 0:16 ), the butterflies ( 2:24 ), the AT-ST and the crazy australians from the outbacks ( 2:43 ), the DREADED HARPS ( 4:33 ), the chainsaw maniac ( 5:12 ), the guy I used to call turdman when I was a kid ( 5:18 ), Pancake UFO ( 5:32 )... This game had some messed up enemies!

  • Grand Theft Auto is great, but in all honesty, if they told me they were going to start making 80's style video games again, but the only hitch was I had to sacrifice my copy of GTA 4, sorry Rockstar, I would not only sacrifice it, but sacrifice it to the ancient gods of a jungle temple during a full moon. TMNT for Nintendo brightened up many rainy days for me. Nice video.

  • @chainbluelightning1 BEST COMMENT ON YOUTUBE!

  • These games were so challenging and fun.. Reminds of of those weekends when I was a child and everyone would be outside playing or inside in the living room playing Nintendo playing games like this and sharing turns lol!

  • @Jeffrizel1986 yeah, the time the world was somehow more social. 

  • Love this game...soo retro now but better than the shit kids watch today

  • GET EXTRA ENERGY WITH PIZZA.

    YOU CAN DO IT.

  • I used to pee my pants in pure frustration over that water level. Well done, sir!

  • 1992 a long time ago

  • HAHA EVERYONE KNEW THE GLITCHES LMAO!!!!!

  • it was a hard game but freakin awesome when i was 7 :D

  • wow this is great! last time i played this game was when it 1st came out! wow im old...lol,but its a great game for its time! long live nes!

  • competed this game for the first time in 1991 - I was 4 at the time, I was genuinely terrified of the underwater bomb diffusal part - the music was awesome in this one though.

  • my dude i haven't played this game since it 1st came out!! wow........

  • when i was a kid i didnt know you could change characters

  • donde puedo jugar ese juego?

  • awesome game, but very difficult. this game and turtles in time on snes was a huge part of my childhood ! another awesome game on snes is zombies, that game was GREAT!

  • I just started cryin..... Damn... for real???

  • aw, i always thought this game was easy, i could make it to level 3 without gettin hit once, but level 4 was insane, never beat the game actually

  • This game is shitty, thank goodness for the arcade game following this piece of shit. Very rare sequels are better the original, but the TMNT sequels are superior. I am not too sure about Battle Nexus.

  • Look at all the enemies you have to fight in this game. All kinds of them. Shredder truly is an evil genius.

  • I think beating the (god) dam level and beating the turbo tunnel on battletoads are my two biggest achievements in life

  • I remember this game being so difficult! I think i only made it to the water level....fail :(

  • Horrific game.

  • the music for the 8 bit was way cooler then now aw how i miss the 8 bit music lol

  • brings back great memorys this game was really hard

  • THIS WAS MY GAME!! I still got my NES too :]

  • Changed days compared to gaming now! haha

  • this game is a prime example of why classic games are better than todays games. most games today it takes you less than an hour to beat, no matter what difficulty it is. games like this would take you hours to beat and still come back for more and beat it all over again. games today once you beat it, its like...ok everything unlocked and done...now i'm bored....

  • how to get the song when the character is outside ? It was really one of my favourite of this game !

  • Why does April's face look like an Octopus?

  • @animalchandler ahaha

  • one of many games i;m gona review CAUSE IT SUCKS!

  • Dude you suck eggs this game was hard as nails back when I was like 12. and why review a game you dont like when you could spend time reviewing a game you do like. because quite simply it is pointless waste of time. besides I would prefer to hear your view on the next kick ass games

  • awesome! haha & the sounds (i was 8 when I played this)

  • I can breeze through every part of this game up until the final hallway before shredder, and I still can't get past it. I blame poor level design. Despite this game's sheer brutality, it's still awesome...

  • I had (and still have) the Commodore64 version of this game, and it is considerably easier than this version!!

    It's still a very tough game, but with a slightly different and less death defying layout. I can see why AVGN hated the NES version so much!! The C64 version is one of my favorite games

  • Oh god, my cousins have this game on the Wii, and it...is....haaaaaard!!!!

  • hey good game. do u know where can i download this game?

  • @anthonyanswer download for my pc

  • I don't know anyone who beat this game. It was great but waaaay too challenging

  • I totally agree, an immense challenge indeed.

  • well im one!! here's a tip: LOAD UP ON SCROLLS IN STAGE 3!!! XD

  • OK dude seriously that water level is BULLSHIT!!!

  • This is what made games FUN back when....Simple ideas, seemed easy, but offered a great challenge......Todays games are too over done with everything that they lost what games were about...

  • AHHHH...The memories of the headaches this game gave me!!! I still love this game play it on my Wii

  • First game I ever played @7 years old :3

  • haha brings back memories

  • Those were the days... But why did you choose Donatello for the diving challenge?

    Donatello is the most effective Fighter with his bo. I wouldn't immolate his energy. I always chose Raphael for this :o)

  • This game was amazing in so many ways and offered tons of pure fun back in the day: amazing graphics, great music, challenging enemies, the ability to switch between all 4 turtles at any time in the game (which is unique in the history of TMNT games, none of the other games have that) the possibility to use the turtle van (shoot move, destroy foot soldiers, cars and barricades with it), a fight against the TechnoDrome, this game had EVERYTHING in it (except Krang, but that's ok).

  • @cnh2132 oh i didn't know you could switch characters any time, maye that's why I had such a hard time finishing the game back then. Or maybe I just can't recall anymore, lol! twas such a long time ago.

  • oh I miss that

  • god damnnn i hated that water level when i was a kid

  • water level was fun :)

  • @EmbrunFalcon91

    same here lmao

  • @EmbrunFalcon91  no kidding I hated myself too I dont know if it was because its difficulty or because it was annoying but I hated it a lot.

  • @EmbrunFalcon91 i know i never could get past it going on 16 years now

  • i dont think I ever made it past the water level.

  • @EmbrunFalcon91 I still hate it

  • lmao @ 2:01

  • Comment removed

  • fucking badass.. this person who played this sure made the angry Nintendo nerd look bad

  • None of the games AVGN reviews are as bad as he purports each to be.

    James Rolfe is only in character and the series is meant as satire.

  • i still love this game. i downloaded it on my Wii, and i can't believe the stuff i forgot. back in the day, i thought the art in this game was amazing. some of the techniques and tricks you used in these videos is the exact same as the ones my brother and i used when we were kids. love it!

  • how did you do that download the game to the wii tell me how you did it ok cause i want to play this game on my wii-umm when i get it of course :) really tell me how you did it and how may times can you download it on the wii

  • well, if you have wireless interwebs (a wireless connection in your house) and a wii, with at least 500 wii shop points, you can go on tha virtual channel and DL ONE copy of this game! hope that help'd

  • wow throw back 4real lol luv it

  • So let me get this straight.

    A lot of people hated the NES version, and there was a worse Amiga version? Ouch.

    For what it's worth, I actually like this game a lot.

  • XD oh oh oh yo jugaba eso!!! :P

  • I think that Don is the stronger, then Leo, then michaelangelo and finally Raph

  • at least, Don is the more intelligent...

  • Besides the stupid dam swimming part this game isn't that bad.

  • had this for the amiga, killer game, but the nes version was slightly superior

  • the overground music is oldskool

  • this game is not that bad unless you know what your doing

  • It's too bad all the turtles do the same damage. The only diff is some of them have a longer attack range. But why bother playing as them when you can just pick Donatello?

  • no don did a little more damage than all the rest so he was the best.

  • after doing research, some have told me that the turtles did have different power attacks. And attack speeds. Raph and Mike having the quickest, yet short range but did big damage. Don diong the least but having the longest range

  • strange when i played don always did a block of damage so i always used him for bosses and i wasnt sure but mike might have had better defense but that might have been guessing oh well i believe you then just saying what i got from the game

  • who knows... I doubt even a strategy guide had all the details

  • further research has told me this. Don has long range, but little damage and dies quickly. Michaelangelo has the fastest attack and his damage is normal. Raph has the shortest range but biggest damage. Leo is somewhere in the middle.

  • You could have saved the time and just played lol.  You immediately notice.

  • I don't have the time to play this game, so I just looked it up. ;/
