It might have, if they'd decided to release out of Japan and Scandinavia.

It would have come out in 1993 so it would still be super obscure and carts going for $400+.

They actually tried, but they couldn't get a publisher for the game in the US (probably largely because it came out in 1992).

I'd donate to see someone play TMNT with Michelangelo, the worst Ninja Turtle in this game.

Freshwater as there's no way that a poverty stricken, six-year-old Matt Murdock could afford or maintain a saltwater tank for them.

That "press start at exactly the right moment" trick is totally a "press up and b at the right moment to always catch Pokèmon" thing.

Right. One of the jumps was impossible on the PC.

I remember stage 3 being the hardest and a stupid maze. Once you got past it, the game was easy provided you saved Donatello for Mouser.

A tool assisted speedrun could read the random seed and find the best one for them, but given that the seed should be rotating thousands of times a second I'm dubious that the trick is anything more than a misperception ("It wasn't there... I must have messed up the exact timing at the beginning.")

Yeah, I'm enjoying this a lot. He explains everything and plays really well in a game that destroyed a lot of kids back in the day (even if he missed one pizza because he was talking).

Look at that, the Technodrome strategy worked!

From what I understand the value for "where is the technodrome" is only set in two cases: 1) When you start the game, and 2) when you use a continue. So if that's accurate then it totally works. :v:
