I played the first one ALMOST all the way through.

reasons it sucks:

#1) YOU CANNOT BEAT IY WITHOUT USING THE CONTINUE CHEAT

#2) it is bug ridden and poorly put together. I was playing with a friend and he got stuck in walls and other obstacles VERY easily. we even determined that the rockets/bombs that come at you only show up when you're stuck to kill you and free you. But then that doesn't even work some times. On one stage he was moving, but still stuck in the grounnd, he went UNDER the mud and water, and when he shot, there was no bullet.

#3) the last boss is a dead guy?

I have beaten this game several times over a 12 yr time period. i own it with original box/manual/sleeve in perfect condition.. i have a massive collection of nes and snes games, all complete. i even have about 10 nes games factory sealed. TMNT is one of em. some idiot sold it to me at a pawn shop for $5! it goes for over $40 on ebay.

crystalis is up there with zelda and i think its one of the best action rpg's ever made. it's classis with a solid story, fun fighting and great gameplay in general. i hope someone will remake it soon and make it as well as the latest zelda games were made.
