Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Arcade Game (NES)

I don’t know why they have to be so confusing with game numbering sometimes. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Arcade Game was in fact based on the original arcade game. However, when the original arcade game was released in 1989, a different Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game was released at the same time for the NES. Hence when they released the one actually based on the arcade game a year later, they put a II in the title. The home computer ports just stuck with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Arcade Game and left off the II.

he NES version is probably the best known port and included a couple of extra levels with new enemies and also extended many of the original arcade levels. The NES version also added some Pizza Hut product placement advertising. I believe that the computer ports (Amiga, Atari ST, Commodore 64, DOS, etc.) were more straight ports of the arcade.

The original NES version, to the best of my knowledge, has not seen any subsequent releases. A port of the arcade version appears as a hidden bonus in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: Battle Nexus for the PS2, Xbox and GameCube and an emulated version of the original arcade game appeared for Xbox Live Arcade in 2007 but if you want to play the NES version with extra levels, you’ll have to track down an NES or emulate.

The NES and arcade versions were especially good with most of the other versions being worthwhile as well. If you like arcade style games then this is one of the better ones from that era. And who can resist the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?

The One (April 1993)

The One is a computer gaming magazine that was published in the U.K. in the 1980s and 1990s. It covered various computers over its life but by 1993 it was exclusively covering the Amiga. In fact, at that time it was called The One Amiga. The April 1993 issue includes:

Vintage Photos - Lot 6 (373-376)

The photos in this set were probably all taken in the 1960s and 1970s in Michigan.

The first photo features a woman standing in front of a bridge. It is labeled "Covered Ada Bridge". This bridge is located near Ada Township close to Grand Rapids. My best guess is that this photo was taken in the early 1960s. However, the car that can be seen at the other end looks to be from the 1950s so it could be older. This bridge was destroyed by fire and rebuilt in 1979. The original was built in 1867.

Digital Archaeology: Floppy Disk #14 – FEMALE.DOC

This post includes the contents of FEMALE.DOC. This file is dated September 2nd, 1985 and is in a subdirectory called TELEPSYC. This is an article on nonmedical female sexual problems. No name or other credit is listed in the file. I tried doing a web search on a few strings from this article but couldn't find anything so I'm not sure who wrote it. Like the last few posts in this series, I believe this article came from a special interest group or some other kind of feature or area on Delphi called "TelePsych". As far as I can tell, these articles were exclusive to Delphi.
