What's the difference between TMNT and TMHT

[ChiMSP]

Just picked up another vintage game on ebay. I thought it said "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" But insted it says "Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles" (dunno). Whats the diffence? s*** i hope it'll work with my NES.

Check it out:
TMNT

TMHT

PALCOM, it looks like it's for PAL systems in europe.

Only the "TMNT" will work on your NTSC system.

but i'm guessing really..

[ChiMSP]

oh s***. oops. whatever.

I gotta agree with you there. The Technodrome levels were the bain of my existence. I still have problems with it.

As for the bootlegged game. You notice it's not made my ULTRAi but some random co?

it is not a bootleg copy, Palcom was an Australian distributor for Konami, Ultra was the American distributor and Mattel was the European distributor. It is the same game, the title 'ninja' was substituted with 'hero' I think I read based on the perception of that term by the media/censors. The same censors that banned GTA earlier this year.

EDIT - here is an article; http://www.nesworld.com/names.htm

I was contacted by the seller. He may be issuing a refund soon. On a side note I also picked up the following. All of them dirt cheap.
Double Dragon
Double Dragon II
Super Mario
Super Mario 2
Super Mario 3
Battle Toads
Bart Vs The Space Mutants
Micro Machines
I have my eye on Mike Tysons Punch Out.

 

[Lord_Zath]

micro machines was a very fun game. why is he issuing a refund?

 

[ChiMSP]

Beacuse it was for PAL nintendo sysytems. That means that it may not work w/ my system at all.
