Beware of trading scammers!

A subreddit for anything related to games (but not sports).

"Related" means that posts must contain gaming-related content in the link/post body, not just a "forced" connection via the title or a caption added to the content.


Posting Rules

  • Posts must be directly gaming-related. Thus, "generic" image macros/memes (where the character itself is not related to gaming) like Scumbag Steve, Good Guy Greg, etc. will be removed. Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission; similarly, reaction GIFs are also not appropriate as submissions.

  • Following Reddiquette is encouraged

  • No "general" URL shorteners (bitly, tinyurl, etc). Single-site URL shorteners (such as youtu.be or fav.me) are allowed.

  • No game or product giveaway of any kind

  • NSFW submissions and comments must be labeled

  • Spoilers can be posted using the following formatting:
    [X Kills Y](/spoiler)
    Result: X Kills Y.

  • To mark a spoiler as relevant to a specific game/topic, use the alternate formatting:
    [Player 1 wins](/spoiler "Pong")
    Result:
    Player 1 wins

  • Report posts containing spoilers not using the above method

  • Don't post users' personal information.

What's amazing is that despite not touching it for the better part of 2 decades, I still remember the sound of touching the seaweed and dying.

And the worst part, is when you finally beat it for the first time, and exit up to street level... you WILL get run over and have to do it again.

[–]Real_Flashfire 4 points5 points ago

Just wait until level 5, when they randomize the position of the Technodrome.

Don't even get me started on level 6.

[–]EdgarVerona 2 points3 points ago

Aye: people who complain about thefact dam level likely never made it to the last corridor in the technodrome. THAT was a pain in the ass.

[–]vitalAscension 0 points1 point ago

I could never figure out what to do with the rope once I had it after the dam level. I got up to the roof and could see where I needed to go but then... nothing.

[–]EdgarVerona 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Ah: you have to stand at a certain spot. Walk right up to the ledge, and he'll deploy the rope. Whatever you do, don't attempt to jump across!

That's EXACTLY the part I can never get past. I know I'm close to the end, but the waves of hard to kill enemies that do big damage take me out every time. It's unreasonable.

[–]EdgarVerona 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yeah, my strategy was essentially that the whole game revolves around level 3. If you have the patience to get all 4 characters with 60+ Kais (those scroll weapons), and have them all survive all the way to that one section, then you can win just by kai spamming all the way down the hall. It takes like an hour just to get everyone equipped with those kais though, and if you don't have all 4 characters there by the time you get to that last hallway you might as well press the reset button.

No. It really is. I've tried until I was blue in the face and if it wasn't for my respect/love of the NES I would have smashed many a controller.

Joe & Mac: Caveman Ninja was another one. Frustrates me even thinking about loading the cartridge. removing it, blowing on it and loading it again.

Yeah, the dam level is really just a way to make it so that those without the skill to survive won't waste too much time struggling in vain. It's like the creepy signpost that says "abandon hope, ye who enter here."

The dam level serves its role well in turning away those unprepared for the terror that is the technodrome level. I assure you, it is not worth the struggle. :)

The secret is that you can switch your turtles while your playing so if you were about to die with leo, you switch to raph and drain his life bar. That level is a mere precursor to a fowl and dispicable game

I really think that there is a whole generation out there (us) whom were trained in videogame difficulty to an extent such that we now, in our adult life, have a huge challenge trying to find difficulty in new games. This is perhaps because the new generation of games is much easier, but it also might because we have spent decades manipulating things with control pads and these days it is impossible to make a game that an 8th grader can get into but we would find challenging.

This level is actually easy if you know where to go and switch turtles. It is not until about the 4th level where the game decides that you should not be winning.

I recall this level, though impossible, had great background music.

This level was not NEARLY as bad as the next (or the 4th, which I only ever reached twice.)

Why must you remind me of the pain and frustration of my childhood? I don't want to go back and replay this. I think I have may beat this level once.

Holy crap, I just realized the 2 hardest games I ever played involved anthropomorphic water animals.

And I still need to beat one of them.

I'm not going to lie. As soon as I saw the pic, I had a brief flash of panic. Damn you, Goku, DAMN YOU!

The worst part was the moment when you realize you're not going to finish it but still keep playing out of self-masochism.

The platonic example of Nintendo Hard.

This level was a piece of cake, it's the next one that gave me problems. Pretty sure I could get through this now without losing a turtle despite having not played the game in well over a decade. I beat the next level once, and my NES promptly froze. I haven't played TMNT since.

[–]Git_Off_Me_Lawn 0 points1 point ago

I never used Raphael up to that point to insure I had a fresh turtle to do that part with.

Eventually I got way too good at it and could make it through with only a hit or two.

This was one of the few games I owned for the NES when I was a kid. I played it so much I actually wrote by hand a strategy guide with diagrams and notes. I even was able to find glitches that allowed for some easier play in difficult areas.

So yes, I remember this level but overall it wasn't hard if you were trying.

That game was the biggest bag of shit I've ever played. Even with the game genie hooked up I hated it. It was such a let down after playing the arcade version so for me there were no TMNT games on the NES until they ported the arcade version.

Yes first for the NES but not first before the arcade unit was out which came out at least the same year as the NES game and even if the NES game happened to come out a month or two before the arcade machine I saw the arcade machine first and it was the vastly superior TMNT game.

[–]Goku707[S] -3 points-2 points ago

Superior how? It certainly wasnt more challenging.

[–]toadwarrior 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

The original NES side scrolling TMNT game was only more challenging because it was poorly made. It wasn't a fun challenge at all so I wouldn't consider that a benefit.

The arcade was mutliplayer, had much better graphics and gameplay. It was all around a much better experience.

I went back and played it... beat it first time. I NEVER beat this when I was little.

No joke, I played this level at a buddy's house after never seeing it in like 15 years and beat that level first try... because I probably spent all of ages 6, 7, and 8 trying to beat it the first time.

I remember the same sort of level but in Earthworm Jim 2? I think. The one where he's a worm sperm and has to navigate the vagina. Good stuff.

The PC version of this is worse. There's a level that has no record of being beat without a cheat code
