I love this game even 15 years later! This is an awesome beat-em up game with everyone’s favorite four turtles, Donatello, Michelangelo, Leonardo and Raphael. The game starts when the turtles are vacationing on a beach, the evil Shredder comes and steals Manhattan Island.

If you’ve played TMNT the Arcade Game, its the same system, just with more diverse fun. The graphics and gameplay are taken straight from the previous TMNT Arcade Game (NES port). New moves include throws, and … Continue reading Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III: The Manhattan Project NESReview

The quest leads you on a massive fantastic journey through a dark world that is full of full of mythical monsters, such as mummies, gargoyles, and the grim reaper. This game is not what I expected, from the usual whip and holly water game. This … Continue reading Castlevania: Circle of the Moon Game Boy Advance Review
