I love this game even 15 years later! This is an awesome beat-em up game with everyone's favorite four turtles, Donatello, Michaelangelo, Leonardo and Raphael. The game starts when the turtles are vacationing on a beach, the evil Shredder comes and steals Manhattan Island. The turtles go back into action, brawling baddies on the beach and then surfboarding back to NYC (first 2 levels).

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 each turtle has their own special manufer that will drain health when used. There is a wide array of character bosses from the cartoons and movies. Rocksteady, Bebop, Tokka, Rahzer, Super Shreder, Krang (and his body), Groundchuck, Slash and more.

More foot soldiers, more tricks, traps and obsticles! Its an amazingly great game! It was awarded best game of 1992 by Electronic Gaming. Find this game, rent it, buy it, play it and you're in for some fun, especially with a friend as another turtle.

Ok, this was 10 times better than the previous Ninja Turtles game. I love TMNT II The Arcade Game, but TMNT III The Manhattan Project made TMNT II looked like the first game with a little more colorful graphics, new super moves, more sub-levels, and a new choice to switch between turtles upon loosing lives and continues. It looked as though TMNT III was meant to be released for arcades, but Komani decided to take it straight to the households. TMNT has a main objective (return Master Splinter to his human form by stealing Shredder's mutantgeon gun); TMNT II does'nt have a main objective, but TMNT III has a true objective. In the beginning of the game, Shredder interupts the turtles' vacation by elevating Manhattan Island from the ground and its up to the team to bring it back to the ground level by slashing their way through 8 levels of hundreds of foot soldiers, rock soldiers, mousers, random robots, and several of Shredder's mutants standing in your way!

Although the 8-bit console has technical limitations that prevent it from being a four player game console (with support of the NES satalite), but it was another fun beat em' up classic game and the second TMNT title to strongly follow the 1987 cartoon series. To add on to the challenge and excitment, they added several bosses from The Turtles second motion picture and the line of the popular action figures such as Tokka, Razhar, Leatherhead, and Groundchuck. Rocksteady, Bebop, and Krang return stronger and deadlier than ever and you must fight Shredder twice (the second time is on the final level, as Super Shredder). Although the cover art looks like it was taken straight from the comic books, the game is really straight out of the cartoons (the mutant Triceratop on the cover does'nt appear in the game) for the kids, who are the target audiences of Ninja Turtles franchise. Other than super moves (like cyclone sword spin and kangeroo kick), the turtles are allowed to throw the foot soldiers and mousers over their heads with their weapons. April O'Neal is still the damsel in distress that you must rescue in the Technodrome. Then you must fight off more of Shredder's mutants, chase Shredder to Krang's ship, defeat Krang and Super Shredder and return Manhattan Island to the ground. Now thats a adventure to remember. Konami hardly lets me down when it comes to fun games with cool sound effects and spine chillin' soundtracks and TMNT III is no exception!

great game, I highly recommend this if you already have 1, and 2 even if you don't like it when you get it do it so you'll have the whole set it is fun to play with a partner

In this game you must battle your way through six stages of foot soliders and other enemies. Bosses include super shredder, krang, Toka and Razor slash leattherhead and other notorious villians from the comic book and tv show. Acutually if your interested letter head has actually been on both sides a hero and villian depend which comic box or televison series you have read or seen. The turtles are on vacation when it is trashed by shredder who once again kidnapes that beautiful reporter april O Neil and tries to beam New York city right of the planet. Your mission is to defeat all the boss befoe newyork vanishes. A fun game can be hard though enemies endurance is low the strongest boss takes about 25 hits to take down but the graphics and music are phonimal for it's release back in mid 1992 or early 1993 on NES. About two year before the fantastic nina turtle four was planned to be released in super nintendo and the arcade format. Can the turtles stop Shredder your are at the control. The fate of Newyork once again lies in your hand. This game should be fun for people ages 7 and up due to mild action,fighting game violence. You will enjoy this game now go forth and defeat the foot may the ningistu be with you!

It was 1989. Konami has released a highly popular arcade game called Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, which is based off of the also popular comic and television series of the same name. In the same year, Konami also made a TMNT game for the NES. It was rather a platformer instead of a port of the arcade game. A year later, the arcade game was ported to the NES as TMNT II: The Arcade Game. Now, here's TMNT III, released in 1992. Is it as good as the arcade game?

Yes, it is. The graphics are even better, the sounds are great, the music still rocks, and the gameplay is pure beat 'em up goodness. If you loved the arcade game, then you will totally enjoy smashing through ninjas in this game's levels. In face, there are some cool new moves you can perform. You can also just flat-out pick up the enemy with your weapon and throw him behind you!

The action is also tighter than in the arcade game. Unfortunately, the life bar isn't as big as the previous game (NES version), but at least you can still plow through the enemies easily. I find myself using the pick-up-enemy-with-weapon move very often. It kills the enemy within 1 hit, while it takes 4 hits to kill with normal attacks.

Overall, this is a very fun game. I recommend you to buy this, especially if you and your friend love the Ninja Turtles.

A perfect example of a top notch NES game... One of the BEST!

TMNT!
