Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Review

The original Ninja Turtles was a lot different from its sequels; instead of the arcade action, this was a platform sidescrolling adventure which occassionally transitioned to overhead map views and cruising around in the turtle van.
THE GOOD
It was fun, of course.You got to change your turtle within a mission and select different weapons that you collect along the way.The music was good, especially when considering the time period of this game.Some might this as a burden, but I enjoyed its difficulty.As I've said in my other reviews, this game was made back in the day when NES games kicked your [...] and forced you to defeat it on its own terms.When comparing this to the much easier 2,3, and 4, I enjoyed this much better (but I still like the others for their multiplayer ability, don't get me wrong).
THE BAD
While this was difficult and I enjoyed it, there were some things that do place a detriment to the game.The turtles are uneven in their abilities.Leonardo has a long reach, but is the weakest of the four (why do that to my favorite turtle?!).Mikey is not much better than Leo in terms of weapon power.Raphael is good for his fast attacks despite his up-close range.Donatello pretty much defeats all of them because he is the strongest AND has the farthest reach.You could beat this game on him alone.
If you're a fan of the Old School NES, you will no doubt enjoy this game (or perhaps just a fan of the Ninja Turtles in general).It's a good platform game that is unique in comparison to the sequels that followed.Today's gamers will no doubt turn away from it because of its dated graphics (which aren't bad, especially considering the time period) and its more difficult levels.
"It's too hard!"
Well, I suggest you try harder.This game doesn't spoonfeed you; it's a difficult adventure.So strap on some turtle shells (and even a game genie if you want it) and some weaponry and engage yourself in a classic game.

Zelda II: The Adventure of Link Review

Zelda II: The Adventures of Link is the direct sequel to one of my favorite games of all time - The Legend of Zelda.Zelda II expands on the story, having a grown up Link fighting to save the princess (who has been cursed into sleep) and Link is also trying to stop the forces of evil from reviving Gannon (the bad guy from the first Zelda game).
While the first Zelda game was a straight adventure game, Zelda II mixes in RPG elements in how you search the towns, talk to people and try to discover what to do and where to go next.When you are in the overworld, you control link from the top down and this is very similar to an RPG.As you walk, you get into random battles (which are partially avoidable) and the action is now side-scrolling.You can fight with your sword and cast magic.Throughout the game Link levels up as he gains experience and can earn more magic points, health, or strength.
This is one of the more difficult Zelda games and it was only until I replayed the game a couple years ago that I was finally able to make my way through the final dungeon to defeat the game (I could never find my way to the last boss).Even with the advanced difficulty, this is a stellar game and fully lives up (or helps to set up) the Zelda dynasty and is part of the reason why this is such a well respected and beloved video game franchise.

Game Genie Review

This is a really cool device to gain an advantage for a bunch of old but awesome snes games. Unfortunately Nintendo put a lockout chip in the last version of the Snes they released ( the smaller one with a push button reset switch )( It works on just about all of the older units with two large purple slider barswitches )
[web page] has a bunch of codes for just about any game you can think of, it also loads quick and has very little advertising.
Enjoy beating the **** out of all the games that used to be soo tough. There's even a code to beat all the Bosses in Chrono Trigger with one hit!!
