are we ever going to get anymore of the TMNT NES games or SMW2YI?

LOL, Princess Tomtato......man that game was a little whacky. It was one of those weekend rentals when I was 10-ish, when you would get a crappy game, and make yourself like it.

It was pretty hard. I got stuck in some maze at the very end. The whole damned game is a maze, and your rpg intuition just isnt the same in a, uh, in a salad kingdom. You know?

I dont know if this is a good download or not, because younger kids probably wouldnt have the patience, and people that used to play it know how hard it was vs/ the reward. I probably wouldnt get it. Shadowgate or something would be better.

Music was pretty good.

If you are a retro gamer that hasn;t played this before and want a laugh, get it. It's not Metroid, Zelda, SMB.

If you have a broken leg or are going to take a bunch of "1-up" mushrooms, this game will work also.

Going to toss it into the old emu and rip some of the tunes I'm not talking about emulation, I have a giant bird that I toss things inside of.
