Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is a notoriously rock hard game. Well I’m not going to argue, this took me many attempts to finish. If you know what you’re doing then making it to the Technodrome really isnt as hard as you might think though.

Acclaims name is on the boxset, but Rare of all people programmed WWF Wrestlemania, Thank goodness, I guess we can expect another Rare Triumph then right?
Wrong! WWF Wrestlemania for the NES is broken! A rush job, produced by the WWF purely as a cash cow to milk something more from their audience. What can you expect from a company that tries to sue a wildlife charity?

Mowgli must recover a set number of gems hidden in each level before being carried off to by a giant bird, you remember the giant bird from the story right? Gems are scattered across the furthest corners of the stages. Most stages work on multiple levels, getting to the tree tops can be challenging, mistakes are costly! Its frustrating to reach the end level only realise you’ve missed a gem at the beginning. However the constant backtracking adds another layer of gameplay and means you’ll get to really appreciate(or dread) every part of the level.

Like Punch-Out, there’s 3 different progressively tougher tournaments. Like Punch-Out, you attack high or low with left or right hooks. You can dodge left, right and bloc, again just like Punch-Out. You can gain a special punch, used with the START button after successfully landing punches that interrupt your opponents rhythm, hmm that’s just like…oh yeah Punch-Out! Whilst the early fights can be won with more direct attacks, you’ll soon face opposition that require you to learn there patterns, so much like….okay okay so yeah George Foreman’s KO Boxing a Punch Out clone!

The Daily Sun needs delivering. The job demands a brave lad to tackle this treacherous paper round. This street is so dangerous, it makes headline news when you successfully finish a weeks paper round!
