>jank hitboxes
>music only or sound only
>no continues
>no HP recovery between levels
>lives max out at 3
>struggles to run on a stock Amiga 500
>a real copy is rare and expensive

No one really talks about this version much but it is absolutely grotesque. Even the britbongs couldn't help but roast it in all their magazines.

>TMNT at home

its almost comical how long the turbo tunnel keeps going on for and how fast it gets. I cant even fathom how many times I restarted trying to get past it as a kid. only to find out the game gets EVEN HARDER later on. I never beat it and didnt know anyone who did.

Dude, wtf is that. I didn't know that such a thing existed. How could they fuck it up so bad?

"Lets create a teenage mutant ninja turtles clone but with imposible difficulty, so the people is only going to rent it for a few hours and later return it for a new better game."

>Let's make a challenging game. Players who find it too difficult will simply move on to stuff more their speed rather than getting hung up on it and whine for literal decades, right?

They forgot to optimize for NTSC so it ran way too fast.
