I can certainly tell you why Turtles in Time was so great though. Other than the fighting game TMNT Tournament Fighters, there’s been little in the way of fun Turtles titles on any platform since TMNTIV. But it was also kind of the end for Turtles games. Released in 1991 as an arcade title, TMNTIV was brought over to the SNES a year later. I mentioned a “rocky road” earlier in this article, and that’s because TMNTIV on the SNES was perhaps peak Turtle when it comes to games.

I won’t go on about that one, since I wrote a full review of it not all that long ago.Īnd that brings us to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles in Time. Roughly the same thing goes for the third title in the set, The Manhattan Project. Not only were Rocksteady and Bebop in the game, but the graphics were excellent and looked way more like the cartoon. It fixed everything, literally everything, that I had an issue with from the original as a TMNT-worshipping kid. TMNT 2 was actually an adaptation of the excellent arcade game. Thing is though, the game also included chainsaw-wielding maniacs and oddball monsters as enemies.
Sure the Turtles were there, and some of their supporting characters as well. It wasn’t the most “TMNT” of games though. Their very first adventure for the NES was blisteringly hard, but fun. However huge they might be though, the TMNT have had a rocky road when it comes to games. The green teens ran wild for a chunk of the 90s too, and now again today they’re as popular as ever. They were red hot in the 80s for sure, but unlike most 80s toons, they didn’t stop there. Starting off this Retro Review, I think I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention the odd history of the Turtles in video games. And it’s still one of the best games the franchise has produced. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series continued onto the SNES with Turtles in Time.
