In the original comic book, they were drawn in black and white. When they went to color, co-creator Kevin Eastman's favorite color was red. As the turtles gained popularity, they went with the colors we see today. Raphael kept the red because he was Eastman's favorite turtle.
@PetePete1984 Oh god, that stupid electrified seaweed crap, and the electric 'fences' AND the insane time limit. This game was impossible for my childhood self :(
"The original ninja turtles is one of the most annoying games I ever played. You first play it and think 'well this can't be too bad, the controls decent, it's fun killing things, sound effects are cool. You may think I'm comparing it to the sequels which are far superior....."
I never truly got why the folks in charge of the box art decided to draw all four turtles in Raphael's colors wasn't Leonardo supposed to be the leader? or maybe it was because Raph was the "badass" of the group so it would look cool making the other three look as pissed off as him
This music reminds me of a few lines from "The Wizard": "It doesn't take much intelligence to play that game," "I got the scroll weapon, and I almost beat Mecha-Turtle at the end of level three," and "You got the scroll weapon...you lost your mind."
@crohnoes Oh noes, the HORROR!!! It was the most annoying sound of all time. Fuck this game by the way. The developers smoked crack and worshiped satan during the entire making of the game. One of the hardest games to beat of all time.
This game wasn`t so hard. Just the last level was a pain in the ass. The fucking guys flying and shooting those fucking beams. God, how much i hate them! -.-
@Robben911back At maybe 10 years old that was the farthest I could ever get- where you're inside the technodrome. It was the very last room with all of the purple flying guys. I'm 14 now, maybe I should try again. Still can't believe I had the patience to do all of that, even the Dam level didn't give me much trouble after a bit.
@MrRetroGamer96 Yeah, I see. Exactly where I got stuck aswell. But when I grew older, I figured out you could just duck and wait for them to disappear out of the screen. Haha.
@Robben911back True, just like the one level in the third world where there was a tiny gap you had to jump over- and 99 percent of the time you hit the wall and fall back down. Little did most people know, you could just WALK over the damn thing. Gotta love stupid game designers.
@MrRetroGamer96 Yeah, mate. You`re totally right. I remember never getting past that hole. I always tried to jump over it. And remember there WEREN`T any computers at that time. You couldn`t look it up!
@Robben911back True there was just Nintendo Power, and that didn't help too much but then again they did have maps. Also, remember the pizza the developers put in the area with the walls closing in? That HAD to have been a joke. Not even stupid 8 year olds would go for that pizza if they knew what they were doing.
@MrRetroGamer96 Hahaha, omg, yeah I remembe that one... They werent thinking straight. Its not technically possible to get that pizza. The spikes have already reached the pizza when you are miles away... That mustve been a joke... Seriously...
@mrstightjeans Yeah... Pretty smart for the creators to do. To piss off every child on earth. Children dont think like that :-p Everything they think about is to get over that hole by jumping, and not by walking right over it xD
yes it was. But it is beatable, which takes some major strategy. I could always make it to the technodrome, when I was a kid, but the final part where you try to get to Shredder always was the hard part.
I finally did beat the game when I turned 27, which was 3 years ago.
It's not a terrible game...just incredibly difficult
Hey I LOVE konami and their games but this one...don't know, I know it's not the best TMNT game but certainly one of the most recognizable
