RAD Episode 274: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, 
Birdman is back for the first of five TMNT themed shows for RAD!
In 2013, we’re taking things back to basics and we’re talking about one of the first games Birdman ever rented as a kid. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on the NES is a game that has driven many kids insane and frustrated others but we loved it just the same. In this first show of 2013 we believe it time to take on a challenging game and do it with a grin on our collective faces and see if we can indeed keep up with our heroes in a half shell.
Take ourselves back to the summer of 1989 and fight with turtle power!

Great review, Mike. This game doesn’t get enough love, in my opinion. Regardless of the difficulty, it was fun and certainly a different style game then what the series has ultimately become.
Was I the only one who got sucked into this game by the box art alone, way back when? I miss the old days when box art alone could pull you into a game you’d otherwise not even play.
Tips for beating it:
Master jumping: hard jumps
Know where to go: there’s a lot of alternate harder paths, dead-ends or places you only need to go if you lose a turtle or need pizza.
FILL UP THE SCROLL WEAPON BEFORE GOING TO THE TECHNODROME: It’s the best weapon in the game and that last corridor before Shredder will be the end of you if you don’t.
I’ve beaten it twice! once with my dad’s help when I was 5, and once a few years ago.
It was a challenge man.
My wife was wondering why I was yelling fuck every few minutes lol
Iv’e been playing games since the 80′s and your pretty brave beating that game lol..I usually get halfway through a game and my mind starts to wander and I move on to another one. Although I did finish most of the old Sierra games and Monkey Island..Checkout Ron Gilberts new game called ‘The Cave’ it’s another classic..
Simply MUST play Persona 4 Golden on the Vita. The original is still very excellent but the extra content on the Vita version is substantial enough to warrant favoring it. Also, it’s the version that can more easily be picked up as a new copy and hence support the publisher.
