Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Series

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

The box art's off shade of yellow actually works quite well in a game dealing with the turtles. Going from the writing on the back, it  appears Konami themselves didn't quite know what to make of the Ninja Turtles. Needless to say, they had quite a hit on their hands. I remember receiving an (American) copy of this as a birthday gift from my Uncle. Being so different from the arcade game, I was quite exasperated at first, but squeezed a lot of game play out of it. Never beat the game, of course...

Skillfully utilizing the Ninja Turtles, make your way out of danger.

Highly distinctive from each other, the four ninja turtles make their way through the enemies' various tricks and traps in this authentic action style game. But you should know, these Ninja turtles are always highly energetic and ingratiating!

* The four have weapons including the Sai, Katana, Bo and Nunchucks.

* Disabling bombs, crossing buildings by rope and more, there's a variety of tricks and traps!

* Graphics eclipsing the American comics.

* Difficulty settings that will allow anybody to have fun.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Arcade)

Predating SF2, this was the first "big" arcade to home conversion that I can remember. While the graphics certainly weren't just like the arcade, getting a couple of new levels felt like a huge deal. The American version even had a pizza hut marketing tie-in.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Fall of the Foot Clan

The friendlier faces from the Famicom covers makes way for a grittier depiction of the turtles on the Game Boy. With it's excellent graphics and decent gameplay, this was one of the most fondly remembered early 90s licensed games.

The cute turtles in intense action. T.M.N.T.

The most popular characters over all of North America have finally arrived in Japan. The jovial, energetic ninja turtles are on a rampage in this new sensation of ninja action.

* Huge characters running roughshod make a huge impact.

* Choose from 4 turtles in multi-character gameplay.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time

The Japanese packaging gets a more cheerful and laid back illustration than the gritty, more time travel centric Western art by Tom Dubois. Both pieces are so great that I'd want to have both in my game room. True to the advertising, until 2022's Revenge of Shredder, this was widely considered the ultimate TMNT beat-em-up.
