While the first TMNT game for the NES received a decidedly mixed response, Konami hit on a winning formula with TMNT II and continued the beat ’em up format into the third installment, The Manhattan Project. There may not be any radically improved graphics or sophisticated mechanics in this sequel, but it is a solid beat ’em up for the NES with an energetic and fast-paced feel.

Zelda II: The Adventure of Link – NES
Zelda II The Adventure of Link is typically the recipient of much undeserved criticism. Undue censure is bound to target anything that stands out from the crowd, and with that said it only makes sense that Zelda II would find itself in the crosshairs of the public eye. At the time, The Legend of Zelda had recently graced the Nintendo Entertainment System with substantial praise, so expectations were high. When Nintendo gave us something new and different, reactions were mixed. Some adored this fresh entry in the series, some reviled it. Whatever stance you take on the Zelda II debate, ZB would like a moment of your attention in order to discuss the finer points of Zelda II The Adventure of Link.

Many other now-popular Sonic Universe characters get their start here as well. Check inside for details, trivia, and more.
