738.0. "TMNT III _ The Taking of Manhattan" by SALEM::KUPTON (Pasta Masta) Fri Mar 20 1992 11:33

    	My son and I rented Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III, The Taking of
    Mahattan this week. I'm a terrible conquest game player but I did
    rather well. My son (9) didn't complete the scenes but he enjoyed it
    immensely. 
    
    	I thought the graphics were great for the NES.
    
    	There's very little challenge from the footsoldiers, but the big
    guys like Rocksteady, BeeBop, Rahzor are tough to kill. 
    
    	Up to 3 can play and you get to use 2-3 of the turtles each. The
    same turtle can be used by both players at the same time.

738.1More than 2 players ??NROPST::MPO13::CWHITTALLOnly lefties are in their right mindMon Mar 23 1992 08:5925

	?? I'm confused.  My son bought this game a few weeks ago.

	   He's loaned it out to the neighbors, so I haven't played
	   it myself that much.  

	   But, when we did play it, we could only play two at a
	   time, and we couldn't select the same player.

	   Do you have a different version..  When the games starts,
	   you can play 1 player or 2 players
		The two player mode has two options.
			Players cannot harm each other
			Players  CAN   hurt each other..

	   I didn't see an option for more than two players.

	   Also, we couldn't pick the same turtle for both players.

	?? Just curious..

	Thanks,
	Charlie

    	Both of us had the same turtle at the same time with the same
    weapons. I thought that being able to play three players was strange
    but thought it might be for something that adapts to the system. I
    couldn't figure out how to play three players....We rented it one more
    time and my son became bored with it so I'm glad I didn't buy it.

    Perhaps it requires the use of the NES Sattelite, the accessory that
    allows the use of up to 4 controllers/players?
738.4Nope... I've got the NES Sattelite...NROPST::MPO13::CWHITTALLOnly lefties are in their right mindTue Mar 31 1992 09:0411
Well, I rechecked over the weekend..

The instruction books states that it is a two player games,

and you CANNOT pick the same player..

Not to beat a dead turtle, I'll chock it up to different cartridges.

I also have the Sattelite, and still only got two players.

738.5Game Genie??SALEM::KUPTONPasta MastaWed Apr 01 1992 10:3412
    	The cartridge we used is at Dial Video in Derry, NH. My son and I
    both had turtles with those 3-pronged knives at the same time. I don't
    remember if we had the num-chucks at the same time or not. As is the
    case with most rentals, we didn't have the rule books......BUT
    
    we were using the Game Genie....and that may explain the
    inconsistencies between uses. 
    
    We also used the Nintendo Power magazines as a guide through each
    challenge.

738.6Possible GG is the key..NROPST::MPO13::CWHITTALLOnly lefties are in their right mindWed Apr 01 1992 15:0615
Ahhhhh 

The old Game Genie trick...

Are there codes for TMNT III for Game Genie..  

I have GG, but haven't spent the money to get the updates, and possilbe,
you have..

It makes sense that one of the options would be,  both players able to
use same player..

Thanks,   ...  This possible explains my confusion...

738.7extra life codes ???CANYON::LEEDSScuba dooba dooSat Apr 18 1992 12:499
Anyone seen a way to get more lives (like the trick for TMNT II) ?? Ya 
know, where at a certain point in the startup you do 
up-up-down-left-spin-around-standup-sitdown, etc ....


Thanks
