Hey hey Yokoi Kiddos!
Johnson Ketchup here again, talking about turtles and foot! Hate to do this to y’all off the bat but man.. I kinda got a deep seeded disdain for this one— but it’s nothing about the game itself, it’s how suggesting the game came to me.
I live in Los Angeles, and predominantly skate/walk everywhere! I was leaving work one late night and walking down the street only to see a massive unit of a man, decked out in a trench coat and fedora.. thought it was a bit odd but proceeded by anyway, that’s when it happened.
“HEY” in a gruff voice, I turn to see this large man wider than tall, was now right behind me and no longer in his weird dark corner, I decided I better walk a bit faster because shoot you never know!
I picked up the pace and all of a sudden for other guys are just waiting for me in some shadows! Why the hell are there so many shadows on a street!? Long story short they beat me up and left this game for me demanding I play it. Which, could have been worse? I mean, I got a little roughed up but.. yeah, they still gifted me with this really cool game!
It’s just too bad I can’t appreciate it the same because I got beat up! Oh well, I’ll try my best!
Popped that babycakes in and started playing, sweet turtles theme!
1990 was a helluva year! I was… 3 heck yeah raddest of times. Anyway I press start… and oh my god no..
Why you gotta be so big bro? Like.. man, this is the one thing that drives me nuts! It’s not as bad as a lot of games that have this issue, so it’s cool keep on rolling.
Oh foot clan you look like an alien and you’re also very large, it’s fine though.. this game is fun!
Alright now that those turtle bros are gone I just wanna say this game drove me nuts, easy as all hell, music that is literally maddening.. ULTRA WHAT DID YOU DO?
Shoot they’re back.. so yeah fun stuff! Oh hey here’s Rocksteady that’s cool..
Beat his buns so now what do I do? Oh next stage already?? Cool..
Gone again oh my god this game, man I was playing Baseball on Gameboy and had a game last longer than this whole game, mostly because I smash at baseball and can be at bat forever..
They’re on to me!!
Johnny Ketchum is a writer/weirdo currently living in Los Angeles, CA. He would probably want you to check out his show Whatchu Been Listening To?. He is on the Twitterz where he rants about baseball.
Rick V also didn’t use any reference pictures to draw this because he has felt like he has been drawing Ninja Turtles since 1988. He’s draws comics and does other stuff too. itsmerickv.com
Nolen Tabner is a game designer originally from DFW, TX now residing in Glendale, CA. He has worked on many games your toddler has played along with games your filthy uncle has played. He is currently working on a game called CHIMPS. Check him out. http://nolentabner.com
Drink a Beer and Play a Game are two friends, Jim and Brian, who enjoy talking about games as much as they enjoy trying new beers.
FINALLY! The game Ian and I have been trying to subliminally get a submitter to pick since we started this whole dang thing! And it was picked by Johnny Ketchum:
I was walking down the street and heard some turtle like folks harassing me and quietly chanting “Go ninja go ninja go!”.
It is one of the last few remaining OG Ultra Gameboy games we haven’t done. Despite the original comic book style cover, the game is mainly based off the cartoon. It’s insanely easy and you will probably beat it in one sitting. But it is definitely very fun and worth playing through many times. -RV
And you can still submit stuff for GREMLINS 2 like crazy!
