Wow, Cavaleiro looks interesting!

Clearly inspired by Ghouls 'n Ghosts... but, probably, too short!

Do you guys feel any love for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (NES)?



I do feel... a little. Back in the day I finished several times the Amstrad CPC of the game, which is pretty much the same thing but shorter and erasier.

Anyway, if you feel the difficulty of this version is a bit unfair you could do worse than trying TMNT - Pizza Party. It can also be applied on top of an earlier difficulty hack called Return to New York.

When I was young :cry: I played the TMHT* game in my Amstrad CPC and it wasn't one of my favorite games. I think that it was because it had a very little play screen and very badly defined graphics... I should give a try to the NES version, but having the amazing Arcade version...

*TMHT: Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles, at least in my country. Seems that the word "Ninja" was too heavy for children.

[Neville]

Yes, it was a censorship thing in some countries. Because sticking a katana into other sprites fine, but ninjas?! Not ninjas on our watch!

BTW the CPC version of the game is pretty good. Its only downside is the sound FX, there's only one of them and sounds like a fart.

Really  love the typo here, having had only the CPC as a child and never seen a NES at the time, the CPC can indeed be defined as an erasier version of the NES 

[Neville]

Yep

Take a NES, erase its color palette, its instant game loading, its cool controller, its exclusive titles... and you eventually get a first generation CPC xD

I finished it as a kid, not sure i'd be able to re-enact that feat.
You hear a lot about the difficulty of that game, but what i found the most difficult was to do "low" jumps consistently (you had to press jump very briefly, the timing was extremely hard). There was a screen in the sewers where you'd die if you failed that jump, and this is probably where i died the most.

[Neville]

That's true. I had forgotten about the "instant death" stages. They were the most trying in the CPC version, but nothing you couldn't finish after a few tries. I say "stages" because I think there was at least another one, but maybe it wasn't present on all versions (?).
