TPWW Forums - Rate the Game: Week 101

Oh, right, I still have to keep doing this.

Well, we're in triple-digit territory now, folks, as we kick off week 101 of this sucker. Ending things last week with 100 and a game like Super Mario RPG would've been fine with me, but I pledged more than that, so more is what you're going to get. Speaking of Super Mario RPG, how did it fare? What spot on the leaderboard will it claim?

Well, if nothing else, Ghosts n' Goblins' spot doesn't seem to be threatened anytime soon. Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars earns itself some high praise but it ends up scraping at the door alongside Mega Man and Donkey Kong and doesn't enter the elite top ten despite its respectable 4.44 overall average. It's alright; I have no doubt that if ClockShot and DAMN iNATOR had played it, they'd have given it fives, too.

But what will they, or any of us, be giving this week's game? The bowl has work to do!

Well, we begin the countdown of the final 25 games with this lovely gem, one I remember being specifically requested. It's another Konami romp through beat-'em-up territory with some familiar reptilian faces, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time! No, not that shitty movie from your childhood that made you question everything. It's the arcade title that sends our four heroes in a half shell through a temporal adventure. What do you say, TPWW? Are we talking "Cowabunga" or what? Let's do the rating thing and we'll see you next week!
