TMNT 2600

Recommended Posts

I'd love to hear his musical rendition of the TMNT theme as played by a 2600. Too difficult to add a vocal version I know, but I can sing along to the music anyway - THEY'RE HEROES IN A HALFSHELL, AND THEY'RE GREEN! Umm wait.. is it sad that I still remember the words :?

Heroes in a half-shell! Turtle power!

 

They're the world's most fearsome fighting team (We're really hip!)

They're heroes in a half-shell and they're green (Hey - get a grip!)

When the evil Shredder attacks...These Turtle boys don't cut no slack!

Splinter taught them to be ninja teens! (He's a radical rat!)

Leonardo leads, Donatello does machines! (That's a fact, Jack!)

Raphael is cool, but crude! (Gimme a break!)

Michaelangelo is a party dude (Partyyyy!!!!)

I cringe when I see the stupid shit I posted 13 years ago. I really wouldn't mind if Albert went and deleted every single one of my posts from the era, just so I wouldn't have to see them dredged up out of the past at random like this.

 

That said, a TMNT for the 2600 would be pretty sweet...

I would hate to see some of the stuff I said/did 13 years ago ;)

Likewise. Whenever I read one my posts from, like, 2005, I just think "What a tool." There should be a statute of limitations on necrobumps. :P

 

I'd like to see TMNT (both the NES game and the arcade one) attempted on the 7800... *hides*

Also likewise, on either the 2600 or 7800 (or both?). A hack of Kung-Fu Master is probably the best bet. Walk from one end of the stage to the other, smashing up Foot Soldiers and mousers along the way and fighting a Foot Clan boss at the end? Maybe use the game select switch to select your uniquely skilled turtle (essentially treat them as game variations)? Sign me up!

 

I wish I had the skills to do this because I doubt the interest is there for most 2600 programmers and homebrewers. I think TMNT is a little after their time.

I don't think there is anything to feel embarassed about over this. If you got ripped off on eBay and went all psycho then I could understand it, but posting an intelligent suggestion for homebrew development (with graphics to back it up) is a good thing and if people like the idea 13 years down the track why not go with it?

Eh, maybe. Lets just say it's not a post I'd ever make nowadays. If there's one good thing about it though, the response is pretty positive, and truth be told, it has gotten my creative synapses fired up; not that I really have the skills or time to follow-up on them (nor am I suggesting that someone else should - I don't want to be that guy), but just for fun, I can easily envision two Atari TMNT projects:

 

- For the 2600, the aforementioned Kung-Fu Master-like game. Maybe not even necessarily a hack of KFM, but a single-plane game akin to KFM, sort of like the original Game Boy TMNT titles.

 

- For the 7800, a more traditional-style TMNT Beat-'Em-Up, perhaps even a full-on port of the arcade game. And with the amount of sprites that system could push without flicker, maybe even all four players with the addition of a specifically-created 7800 multitap? Hey, I can dream, can't I?
