Steven M Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 Edit: IT'S SATURDAY, BITCHES This thread is for the SFGHQ Let's Play of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time (also known as TMNT IV). The sequel to TMNT Arcade, and a classic side-scrolling beat-em-up in its own right, this game sees the titular turtles trash the terrifying Technodrome - before taking a tubular trip through time. Players will battle classic villains from the TV series like Baxter Stockman, Metalhead and the Shredder, and depending on which version you're playing (SNES or Arcade) you'll see some familiar faces from the live-action movies too! RULES 1) If you want to play, great - announce what time you and your mates will play so you all know when to start. We're going to have at least one playthrough per game. If more people want to play, and they can arrange it properly, then it's alright. 2) Have fun! (TENTATIVE) SCHEDULE SATURDAY TMNT IV for the Super Nintendo! This port of the Konami classic has a good few changes from the arcade, the most tragic being that a maximum of two players only are allowed to fight the Foot, the most awesome being the inclusion of the aforementioned Technodrome level. If I remember correctly you have a limited number of continues in this game, so if you haven't played Turtles for a while you may want to get some practice in before the big show. A game of TMNT IV means two players working together via a SNES emulator with online play. You should also have a mic and sound/video recorder setup for the game, too, but that's a given for Let's Plays. SUNDAY The arcade smash hit Turtles in Time, in all its old-school four-player glory! One game of Turtles in Time via MAME, although this is up for debate - if there's enough people willing to organise a game, we could manage two playthroughs. UP FOR DEBATE 1) I'm considering a Let's Play for other ports of this game, in particular the PlayStation Network version and the Reshelled remake for the 360. The big question is - are there enough people willing? Would they be able to sort out a Let's Play for the weekend? Do let me know! 2) Is this weekend too early to organise a playthrough? Is it fine? I'm all for it either way. 3) I'd like a team of people to help me organise this showdown (preferably mods?) in case I have any embarrassing questions to ask in the process (probably a lot) or if I'm not around to sort things out, depending on different time zones. Who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 I was honestly expecting some Rocky Horror related shananigans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tentril Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 We're doing this as a Let's Play? I thought we were just going to set up some times for people to play the game together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ligar Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 We're doing this as a Let's Play? I thought we were just going to set up some times for people to play the game together. Let's plays allow funny banter and lolz for all. Its better. Unless you're too shy to speak in the mic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OverbounD Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 You can get a mic for like 5 bucks. I don't see why you don't just do all the games on MAME if you can play four players on that and only 2 on the other. What is Let's Play anyway?

I already own a good microphone. As for what is Let's Play, it started on Something Awful and has become something of an Internet sensation. Just look it up.

Steven M Posted March 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 We're doing this as a Let's Play? I thought we were just going to set up some times for people to play the game together. It's more fun as a Let's Play since people can talk to each other. I'd say you could do it muted if you really want, but a cheap mic is easy to get a hold of. I don't see why you don't just do all the games on MAME if you can play four players on that and only 2 on the other. Mostly it's due to organising four players per game. Also you have to make sure MAME works properly on your machine (mine doesn't for example). Besides that, it gives people a choice since there are a good few differences between the original and the SNES port. What is Let's Play anyway? You play through the game while commentating on it. List of examples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tentril Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 I am currently without any emulators. Which ones will we be using for online and such? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DimensionWarped Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 Whichever version of MAME supports Kailerra and probably SNES9x since ZSNES's netplay rarely seems to work for most people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowgoten Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 Yea I originally thought this was a spin off of SA's lets play threads. I was wrong. Though that'd be really cool to do that on here actually anyone else think so? EDIT: to contribute to this thread, this is an awesome idea. I used to play and beat the SNES version every weekend. If you haven't played it yet, do yourself a favor and do so (it's not a ground breaking game, it's just a kickass beat em up) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ligar Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 I'm ready whenever you guys are on saturday or sunday. Aero and I could do a lets play ourselves for the SNES version since its two players. Brother action! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wesker Posted March 30, 2010 Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 Depending on exactly what Saturday or Sunday this is, i'm down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven M Posted March 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2010 I figure this weekend would be good, unless that's too early for you guys to get organised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ligar Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 Not a problem for me, although plans for this weekend are question marks, so I'm unsure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1LT Worm Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 Really depends on the time, to be quite honest. If it's in the afternoon or early evening in the States, I'd be down. I have MacMAME and SNES9x, so I'm ready to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wesker Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 Are we playing with someone else online or does it have to be someone in the same room as us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 Best Let's Players: Maxwell Adams (on lparchive.org) and the Freelance Astronauts. CruelestChris (on Youtube. Does Perfect Dark/Goldeneye). Those two are easily the funniest I have ever ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven M Posted March 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 Are we playing with someone else online or does it have to be someone in the same room as us? Whichever's more convenient, though online seems to be the preferred method. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ligar Posted April 2, 2010 Report Share Posted April 2, 2010 Aero and I played Turtles in Time today and things went great. However the sound was kind of low so we could barely be heard. We're gonna try again tomorrow. We're considering this run a test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven M Posted April 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2010 Sweet stuff, Ligar. Have the rest of your blokettes sorted out who you'll play with and which version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
