RAD Episode 276: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3: The Manhattan project, 6.9 out of 10 based on 7 ratings

We are preparing to finish up our NES turtles and move onto to fresher pots of turtle soup here on RAD! In this episode of Reviewaday we look at one of the last NES games for the heroes in a half shell with TMNT 3:The Manhattan Project.

Our turtle heroes are sitting pretty on a beach when Shredder decides to steal Manhattan island… and April for good measure. The boys head back to NYC and encounter a rogues gallery that includes some familiar and some new faces.

Have you ever wondered why New York only ever has to seem to have one news reporter? Why does Shredder have this per-occupation with April? Also find out how far Birdman went to get this game when it was first released. It involves a truck, a highway, and a phonebook….

He’s Birdman and this is Jackass comes to mind!

*Editors note*
Birdman has a television audition on Tuesday so RAD will be back on TUESDAY evening after the audition.

Birdman

Mike Dodd is the guy who always said video games could be turned into a profession and eventually it turned out he was right. Mike is a passionate nerd about all facets of nerd culture from the love of the BBC’s Doctor Who to the very latest in the fight game scene, he’s on to it and likely turned into his new obsession. Dodd was raised to love all things that were pop culture from viewing his first horror movie at five years old to owning one of the first Nintendos in North America, it’s been a childhood dominated by the controller and movie screens and he couldn’t be happier. Roleplaying games such as Dungeons and Dragons dominated the high school years and unhealthy doses of Japanese anime were frequent as he completed his education and took sometime off to explore Canada and the US. However as all good times must come to an end, a decision was made to get some experience and do something fun and learn something and meant getting involved in the media. Mike volunteered with Rogers Television and became the audio/technical director for several successful programs and decided that he should further that experience by going to college. 4 years and several massive headaches later, Mike became known as “The Birdman” of This week in Geek but that is a story for another website….

    Great review, Mike. This is easily one of my favorite games of all time. While it may not have been “original” in a story sense, it just felt like its own game, and not just a port or a direct tie-in to anything other then the franchise itself.

    I hope this will get a release on the 3DS in the near future, just so I can have it with me on the go. But until then, I still have my original NES copy to keep me going.
