One of the best examples of a good MUGEN fighting game that isn’t simply a clone of others, TMNT: Tournament Fighters Remix is a good PC remake of an old SEGA Genesis game, released by Konami. The game stars the famous Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, now on a quest to rescue Splinter from their old nemesis Karai.

The author deserves credit for tweaking MUGEN to create new options that mirror the original Genesis game, including the two-on-two mode where you can play with another friend against 2 computer-controlled fighters. Each of the four turtles, naturally, has his own attacks and special moves. The game plays very smoothly, without any out-of-place pixellation found in many MUGEN game. The game mechanics has also been tweaked to make a more balanced game than the original. Whether or not you are the turtles’ fan, this is a fun fighting game that deserves space on your hard drive. This one-man fan effort comes highly recommended.
