Review and Download (if available)

The download link requires fixing, I believe.

Fixed.

With this, I can now enjoy this game without problems such as Error 404 screens.

Well, that wasn't exactly a problem. Adding a game on AB requires a lot of actions to be done. One such action is moving the archive. Well, I didn't, thinking I would do it after making the gamepage. :p That will teach me to do it first.

Never doubt the swiftness of Professor Oak, still, the game is quite an interesting specimen, I believe it'll require rigorous trial and error to succeed.

never played this version before

is this some alternative to a nes one?

"Our green heroes are back once again, this time in a PC-original game, (unlike TMNT 1 and 2, which were ports from NES and arcade systems, respectively)."

oh damn i didn't read the review yet

Coooool!
 

Hopefully this combines the frantic gameplay of the arcade version with the depth of ...well, okay no other Turtles game has any depth does it? ...This one could be awesome can't wait. :rocks:

There's some interesting info on wikipedia such as the controls: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teenage...attan_Missions

Seems no prejudice that short reviews are insufficient. The reviewer should have taken marko_river and his review for TMNT as an example. :perv:

Sorry i'm not the best reviewing...

Oh... the good times! I remember being disappointed with the crappy conversion from the arcades... When Manhattan Missions was released, it was pure pleasure! :D
Hell yeah!

What? You mean someone actually reads the miles long reviews like that one?:yawn: No way... Ok, this Manhattan review may be little short, but common, that's better then writing too long one. The only reason I write so big reviews is to ensure that people don't read them, so reviews don't have to be much good to be respected :fangs:

Keep up the good work, Jogait, you'll get a hand on it :OK: And you can always change some things I guess...

Or you can write shorter reviews so they ain't so ruddy long to correct :bleh2:

Besides, I like long reviews. I just need subheadings to find the good stuff, like game tips and settings ^_^

Thanks, also i don't write long reviews because i don't want to be a spoiler and i'm not the best writing.

Don't let *anybody* stop you :D

Oh, I used to love TMNT when I was a kid. I guess I have to give this game a go now that I've seen it. xD

Hi guys, would anyone like to help explain to me how to work the controls for this game?

Thanks,
Mark

I would like to make some suggestions for additions to the review text, in particular the controls of the game description.

CTRL + P pauses the game

CTRL + Q quits the game to DOS

Hello, It´s been years for me since the last post in Abandonia.

Recently (2 hours ago, lol!) I was trying the TMNT - Manhattan Missions and I found pretty difficult to figure how to control my mutant turtles, so after a bit of research, I found this (It´s a copy paste):

"Controls
========
The controls in TMNT are a little bit confusing, especially if you don't
have a manual, so here's a little explanation about how to us them.

There are two buttons, one called a "base button" and another called a
"post button". Using these buttons in conjunction with pad directions, the
turtles can perform various moves.

In addition, there are two modes for the turtles, walk mode and fight mode.
Walk mode allows the turtles to walk around freely and at full speed while
fight mode equips your weapons and readies your turtle for battle. To switch
between modes, press both buttons at the same time.

Now your turtles can perform different defensive and offensive moves depending
on the mode they're in, the buttons you press and the direction where you press
the pad in. This is what they can do in each mode, according to the manual:

Walk Mode, No buttons
---------------------
Up: Jump straight up
Up-left: Jump back-up
Up-right: Jump up forward

Neutral: Stand
Left: Walk left
Right: Walk right

Down, down-left, or down-right: crouch/pick up item

Walk Mode, Base Button
----------------------
Up-left, left, or down-left: Throwing star left
Up-right, right, or down-right: Throwing star right

Up: Climp up/Enter door on top

Neutral: Stand

Down: Climb down/Enter door on bottom

Walk mode, Post Button

Walk Mode, Post Button
----------------------
Any direction: Use item

Fight, No Buttons
-----------------
Up: Jump straight up
Up-left: Jump back-up
Up-right: Jump up forward

Neutral: Stand
Left: Shuffle left
Right: Shuffle right

Fight, Base Button
------------------
Up: Power Attack
Up-left/right: Attack high left/right

Left: Attack middle left
Right: Attack middle right

Neutral: Stand

Down-left: Attack low left
Down: Attack low/kick
Down-right: Attack low-right

Fight Button, Post Button
-------------------------
Any direction: Block in that direction

PRESS F1 to switch turtles at any time."


I got It from IGN

Well, now I am a bit mor confused, the problem is that I don´t know what buttons to press, really, I don´t know where are the so called "base" and "post" buttons, I will investigate a bit more.

It's for joystick, obviously.

Try this page, it's much more obvious and have keyboard mappings.

Any way we can update the game description page with this information?
People new to it who want to play it would probably appreciate it.

Theoretically speaking - yes. But it must be someone who actually will do that...

Anyone?

Well, I am slightly busy now, but if no one will volunteer, remind me in 2-3 weeks, and I'll try to do that.
