It's hard to explain just how magical this was back in 1989 when we, as kids, first laid eyes upon it. You could literally play the cartoon which is what we all wanted to do. Those times are gone forever. Hold on to your memories and hope dementia never sets in.
Indeed! This was at the time where the arcade games had the cutting edge tech. The effects, the amazing graphics, the intense sound, the crazy number enemies on the screen at once and never once dropping any frames.
This game is etched in my memory because of how closely at emulated the cartoon, and the graphics were amazing for the time. In 1990 I had an aunt who was in her early 20s at the time and took me and my brother and my two younger cousins to play this one night with a tin can full of coins. She loaded those credits up for the four of us could play this for about an hour and a half, long enough to complete surrounded by a crowd of other kids. She’s now in her 50’s, and sadly never had children of her own. One of the photos that she keeps on her mantelpiece in her room as of me my brother and two cousins in that arcade, playing TMNT. Thanks Aunty M.
This game certainly revolutionised 4 player coop. Hard to believe this game was made in the 80s and not the 90s. Up till 1989, I think only Gauntlet really was the only other main stream multiplayer game. But Turtles is honestly perfect, a show with 4 heroes and since they are green, it really does stand out who you are.
@King of The Zinger I'm old enough to have played this TMNT game at the arcade. It was loads of button mashing fun. We got as far as Krang before the quarters ran out, not knowing how close we were to beating the game until much later.
If "I'm sorry, I can't explain it. You just had to be there" was a person." I'm 37 and I remember the days of getting dropped off at the arcade with $20 and spending hours just running around playing different games. But nothing beat the experience of being on this cabinet and having random people come up, drop a quarter, look at you and nod as in "let's do this bro". This game is one of the reasons I'm proud to be a gamer still to this day.
This game was a masterpiece for the late 80s. The animation, gameplay and music was unsurpassed. It was so incredibly addicting. Konami really outdid themselves.
It was released in the U.S. on October 11,1989. So yeah, pretty much the early 90s. Epic game for the time and the popularity of TMNT was at its all-time peak around this time.
Konami Really Make good with that :) Best in the world hopefully. At Estonia atleast because this country just end war and it takes Every Fun as good they can take! There is other countries who was not efected with war and they just try to get along like 50 years before..Can say:They did not take it as fun wecdid for sure,because they had other fun things..golf,more "Real life" things..Sorry but estonins not have those "real life" things like they had. We Had War Nice and sadisfieng game. Thanks China i quess
The 4-Player gameplay was absolutely awesome in the arcade. Every arcade in the 1990s had TMNT, Neo Geo, Street Fighter 2, Daytona USA, Pit Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Killer Instinct, and that 6-Player X-Men game that used two screens. Those was the last Golden Era for arcades.
They actually had to use a full extra 512 KB ROM chip on the board, just for the theme. The whole ROM set is 4MB, so that's about 13% of all the game data. For context, the entire Sonic 1 ROM is 512 KB.
Crazy of this era too was Capcom was making Street Fighter 2 this far back but memory issues forced them to hold off thus came Final Fight which to many while not being the first beat em up game was the biggest in terms of making them grow and of course two years later in 1991 we got Street Fighter 2 The World Warrior. What a time.
Imo I don’t think the animation had anything to do with the times, but rather the art of the show. I’d prefer this game over the new style they made for the ninja turtles today
This was an era where what you played in the arcade looked and sounded a million times better than what you played at home. I don't think any of the console ports did this game justice.
They're not really.. I mean.. there's animation? Like there's a bare minimum standard you need.. it's not crap so.. it's good? Back then yeah it was fine but compared to what's released today.. it's not "good"
@@Ryrynz2000 if u like how the new turtles it’s all good, what I was saying is just an opinion, not a fact, but I think it’s bad because of the way present the story; the new style I do like.
That laser Shredder does is such a quarter muncher move. An instant kill that covers a lot of the screen, classic arcade shenanigans. This game and the Jurassic Park arcade with the moving bench was the reason I loved Chucke Cheese as a kid.
I still remember the first time I saw this back in 89. I was 10 and I walked into the arcade with 3 friends. We spent every quarter we had on that game XD
We did too... what made me really like this version was the digital audio jungles and dialog which was super crazy advanced compared to what i was use to with the tmnt games prior lol
I remember walking into the local mall's arcade just after it got this machine. There were four kids like eight or nine playing it and yelling "TURTLE POWER" and other stuff from the show. Still makes me smile.
My parents had this in their bar growing up. On Fish Fridays they'd take me out of school early so they could get ready. I had a kiddie cocktail and a tumbler full of quarters and this babysat me haha.
@@nebularain3338 Their was no other Arcade game that looked better than this. That's why the line was so long. Streets of rage was the closest. Yet it still didn't compare. Stfu
There was nothing like going to the Grand Prix as a kid, playing this game by myself at first, but then having three other kids who i've never met a day in my life join in with the other turtles and we just kick ass into the wee hours of the night. Great times man!
That awkward moment when you got to play this by yourself and some random kid you didn't know decided to join you, you start to become friends, then you never see them again.
One of the very few times that a popular kids show was adapted perfectly for its time. Mighty Morphin Power Rangers never got anything even close to this.
I regret to report that I was wrong. I have sailed over to the Isle of Wight this weekend to have my yearly blast on TMNT only to be told they have sold the game to a collector. Absolutely gutted. 😢
@@greenman3464 Kid-themed "entertainment place" for children's parties and the like. Well known in the US for that, and kiddie pizza/amusements, as well as their gray mouse mascot: "Where A Kid Can Be A Kid" was their theme line.
I remember when Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles The Movie hit theaters in 1990, there were 4 arcade machines of this game in every corner of the movie theater. All of them were full. I was a freshman in highschool at the time. Me and some other kids finished the game when it first came out in the arcades. Such great memories.🍕🐢🐢🐢🐢
I spent a lot of time in the arcade as an 80s kid and 90s teenager, and this was my favorite arcade game ever. NBA Jam is a close second, but the OG TMNT arcade 4-player game was just epic. So much fun to play.
In the first cut scene when they jump down to the rooftop and Mikey is so clumsy he falls on the floor and is last through the door. It's little touches like this that i love.
I remember my dad and I were playing this game one day. A guy and his girl came into the arcade and started playing with us. Didn’t know who they were but all 4 of us had an awesome time.
Stellar job by the developers on this. Felt very true to the nature and aesthetic of the cartoons. Gameplay was a lot of fun being challenging but not overwhelming.
Nice trip down memory lane for me, as I recall the precise area of the arcade this particular machine was at St. Albert Centre Mall in the early 90's, around the years when we all became somewhat enthralled by the original Ninja Turtles cartoon. As I listened to this, I couldn't help but be reminded of the many years of early morning news paper delivery work I needed to do to meet my video gaming aspirations (20 years delivering the Edmonton sun/Journal and Calgary Sun etc.; I sort of wonder if kids now adays would bother playing their games half as much as they do if first they also needed to get up at 4am and deliver 120 heavy TV guide newspapers before school, and the evenings where we needed to canvass and seek new delivery custumers; no mommy and daddy allowance. lol. This was such an awesome time warp down memory lane! Kowabunga!!. I'm totally blind now, but just enjoy hearing the audio sounds from the game, and I can envision the action in my mind from when I was younger and could still see. In my case, I think If I had all the dough back I inserted in quarters in those arcade games, I'd have today maybe a couple hundred thousand dollars; ironically easily more than enough to buy a game console to play everything at home. I mastered and conquered games like Black Tiger, Final Fight, Karate Champ, Double Dragon, , etc. , in those old 80's days. It actually really saddens me to hear that youngsters hang at home these days on places like Twich.com and just watch people play games instead of living their own lives. My advise: games are for sure totally cool and fun, but don't forget to really also live life; play street hockey, skateboard, climb trees, run 4 miles to the nearest slurpee store and play an old arcade game with hard earned money. . Blessings.
Me and my cousin would go through so many quarters playing this at the skating rink. We wouldn’t even skate, we’d just play this the whole time. They also had rampage right next to it. Along with a robo cop game. Damn I wish I could go back
What year was this game I remember when it came out we had the arcade game of this up at the Pizza Hut and I have this game for nintendo it does not sound anything like this there was no words while playing the game the characters did not speak the music did not have words
Wish I could get this game for the playstation or any console for that matter. So desperate to play this game again. I used to love playing this in the arcades. The nostalgia feel is through the roof for me ❤️
I remember playing the xbox arcade version of this game over and over as a kid, it's really amazing how the graphics and animation still look good today. I'm looking forward to playing the new Ninja Turtles game by Dotemu, it looks like a real love letter to the TMNT arcade games.
Watching the older kids complete games was amazing to me. They were like real life super heroes. I remember watching a guy beat ultimate mortal kombat doing all the fatalies, and beating shao khan like it was nothing. I stood there in school. Lmao
Fun Fact: They wanted robots for Shredder's footsoldiers so the boys could just cut loose with all of their weapons and deadly moves No one was killed, we got to see mindless violence Good times
The foot soldiers were robots anyway in the original cartoon series that this was based on. So more so that they were sticking to it than the concern of violence.
I dont know how to describe the feeling, seeing these old games makes me sad that those childhood moments were gold, i dont know whether scarcity is a factor here, things are in abundance and so perfect that i personally dont enjoy anything like i did when i was a child, movies tasted different, sega and Nintendo games was a killer, getting the opportunity to play contra, sonic, sega mortal Kombat, mario, was better than eating my dinner. The world is gone.
It’s funny how I remember this game coming out and I remember playing it, but I have no memory of the fire in the top and bottom of the screen! Love Tom
1 thing that I'll never forget about this game is when you are fighting both Rocksteady and Bebop and they run into each other and crash. It sucks that in the NES version you fight Baxter Stockman in his fly from instead.
@@krvnjrcbs No you are wrong,No offense. I had the cartridge for my NES. One of the advantages of having Asperger's syndrome is you have a photographic memory with the intelligence of an elephant. An elephant never forgets BTW that's my favorite animal to see in the zoos and Circuses. With that kind of intelligence you are good at video games. I know for a fact that the Baxter Stockman in his fly form is at the DMV stage where in the arcade machine version. You fight both Rocksteady and Bebop. The snow stage in the NES version comes before the DMV stage where they altered it to Baxter Stockman in his fly form when it should have been Rocksteady and Bebop put together. WTF were they thinking??? I never seen or heard of Tora or Shogun in the franchise or much less heard of there being toys of them. This is why the actual arcade machine is much better than the watered down NES crap 🎸🎸🎸🤘🤘🤘🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🐢🐢🐢💫💫💫
Wow, this game was so ahead of its time. The ninjas get so bored, they are on their phones, waiting for their turn to attack. You can't unsee that now 😆
I remember vividly how my friends and I skipped class just to see if the rumors about A NEW 4 SIMULTANEOUS PLAYER TMNT VIDEOGAME just arrived to one of Santiago de Chile's biggest city town arcades were true back in 1989. The machine was surrounded by easily 80 kids 12-16 yo, gasping in awe to the characters every move. Such beautiful memories. Thanks for uploading!
When multiplayer was going out to an arcade and physically meeting new ppl. Felt so good to have others jump in a game while you’re playing.. this game, the simpsons game and the marvel game (the one where the players shrunk on certain levels).
Born in 83, I used to play this at Chuck E Cheese all the time. I’d play it all the way through to the end. I can distinctly remember one time when I ran out of tokens and I was at the last boss and the timer was ticking down and I was genuinely pleading for someone to give me a token so I could finish. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Simpler times.
This game is interesting. The animation is well done and reminds me of "The Simpsons" arcade game. Music is great too and shares similarities with Turtles in Time for SNES
If anything, the music shares similarities to Hyperstone Heist (aka, the TMNT Turtles in Time port) since the arcade uses an FM chip and PCM while the Mega Drive uses FM and 2 PCM channels. Then again, Turtles in Time arcade (the ORIGINAL version) uses an FM chip and PCM chip too, but the PCM chip was much more advanced.
@@licen5767 The actual ROM is playable on MAME32 emulators. A port was made for the NES. I don't know if any modern consoles have a download file of this game.
Really brings you back. These were great and then the Tournament Fighters came out on Super Nintendo. That struck an obsession with how cool they looked.
Anybody else here from Solihull, UK? they had this game at the arcade at the old UCI cinema in the early nineties, along with Michael Jacksons Moonwalker, WWF Wrestlefest, Altered Beast, Shadow Warriors, Midnight Resistance, Power Drift and a couple of others. The Turtles game always had the volume cranked up very high and you could smell the pizzas from the Pizza Hut they had next door - how appropriate:) you could never get anywhere near Turtles, it was always surrounded by a crowd - such an awesome game. I would have been happy staying in the arcade, rather than seeing the films most of the time :) sadly that cinema is long gone, demolished some time back and now it's all car dealerships. The Cineworld in Solihull town centre unfortunately isn't anywhere near as good, and of course there is no arcade there :( but it's great to see old school retro arcades seem to be making a comeback with places like Arcade Club UK and NQ64.
This is best action arcade video game teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles original 1989 I play this game when I was 9 years of age way back then now I'm 43 years of age I still 👍 like this video game that's turtle power 🍕 pizza it reminds me 👍 very good old days and now
Thank god the new Shredder's revenge fixed so many gameplay mechanics of the original. Hitboxes, grabs, just basics of what a brawler should nail down!
Esse vídeo meu trouxe para o longínquo ano de 1990, jogando em um bar na esquina numa maquina de 4 controles, com os meus 09 anos era uma coisa única, uma sensação maravilhosa. Que saudades!!!
Eu com 8 anos ia de ônibus aos sábados pro shopping da cidade com meu irmão de 11 anos, com dinheiro para 5 fichas para cada um, às 9 da manhã, esperávamos o shopping abrir para sermos os primeiros a jogar, e ainda assim tivemos que esperar na fila algumas vezes... Jogo épico, era febre na época!
Leo says to Raph, Don, and Mikey when he gets home to the sewer: "a lot of help you guys were. you wouldn't believe the day I had. forget pizza... I need a beer."
everyone remembers the first time they saw this shit out live at an arcade back in the 90s....shit was like 40 Christmas holidays at the same damn time.
Impressive is an understatement. This dude beat the game with a single quarter. I didn't watch the entire video but I'm assuming he didn't die once. So he actually beat the game with 12.5 cents. There's no way I could have done that in my wildest dreams. Those 2 rock generals usually massacre all the turtles during a 4-player arcade session. But I bought this game in the Mini-Arcade version from Walmart in 2020, and then again on the PS5 TMNT Collector's game. It will never get old. Great video.
i remember when there was a group of people first trying to emulate this game back in 1999/2001 somewhere in there? cant find their website but it was before MAME took over. I loved watching the progress of one of my favorite childhood arcades come home to the PC
Simply fantastic and fabulous ... still remember it when saw it for the first time in the late 1980s and 1990s ... even now looking really good ... Great Memories ...
I remember a local pub up the road from me 🤣 this had the Arcade machine me and a school kid Ben Jones went into the pub and played it for about ten minutes before been spotted lol by the pub owners....where are your parents lol
Got chills and goose bumps when the music came on! I have spent Soooooo much time on this game as kid!! It was amazing playing with 4 friends feeding the arcade machine as we had no idea how to play lol.
I can still picture being at the roller rink, playing this. The roller rink was the only place I could play it for a good while because I wasn't tall enough to see the screen without skates on my feet. That place seemed so cool to me as a kid. Dank, grey, clouded with cigarette smoke.

Me too especially back in those Boblo Island days in the early 90's

It's little touches like this that i love.
Spent half my childhood playing this game. This game brought me and my bro’s so much joy. Great game!!!
I remember my dad and I were playing this game one day.
A guy and his girl came into the arcade and started playing with us. Didn’t know who they were but all 4 of us had an awesome time.
Stellar job by the developers on this. Felt very true to the nature and aesthetic of the cartoons. Gameplay was a lot of fun being challenging but not overwhelming.

Fred: Hey Bob, how long do you think we need to stay behind this billboard? We've been here all day.
Bob: One sec, I think he's passing by now.
This game is as old as I am. Amazing that it still holds up! Remember growing up in arcades playing such masterpieces like these 💜
Nice trip down memory lane for me, as I recall the precise area of the arcade this particular machine was at St. Albert Centre Mall in the early 90's, around the years when we all became somewhat enthralled by the original Ninja Turtles cartoon. As I listened to this, I couldn't help but be reminded of the many years of early morning news paper delivery work I needed to do to meet my video gaming aspirations (20 years delivering the Edmonton sun/Journal and Calgary Sun etc.; I sort of wonder if kids now adays would bother playing their games half as much as they do if first they also needed to get up at 4am and deliver 120 heavy TV guide newspapers before school, and the evenings where we needed to canvass and seek new delivery custumers; no mommy and daddy allowance. lol. This was such an awesome time warp down memory lane! Kowabunga!!. I'm totally blind now, but just enjoy hearing the audio sounds from the game, and I can envision the action in my mind from when I was younger and could still see. In my case, I think If I had all the dough back I inserted in quarters in those arcade games, I'd have today maybe a couple hundred thousand dollars; ironically easily more than enough to buy a game console to play everything at home. I mastered and conquered games like Black Tiger, Final Fight, Karate Champ, Double Dragon, , etc. , in those old 80's days. It actually really saddens me to hear that youngsters hang at home these days on places like Twich.com and just watch people play games instead of living their own lives. My advise: games are for sure totally cool and fun, but don't forget to really also live life; play street hockey, skateboard, climb trees, run 4 miles to the nearest slurpee store and play an old arcade game with hard earned money. . Blessings.
Me and my cousin would go through so many quarters playing this at the skating rink. We wouldn’t even skate, we’d just play this the whole time. They also had rampage right next to it. Along with a robo cop game. Damn I wish I could go back
Man, you showed the best trick to beat Krang! Didn't allow him to walk around the screen or gave him any room! Good job!
What an awesome game! The visuals in this game were absolutely stunning, and still bring me back!
What year was this game I remember when it came out we had the arcade game of this up at the Pizza Hut and I have this game for nintendo it does not sound anything like this there was no words while playing the game the characters did not speak the music did not have words
Wish I could get this game for the playstation or any console for that matter. So desperate to play this game again. I used to love playing this in the arcades. The nostalgia feel is through the roof for me ❤️
Well, good news for you!

I remember playing the xbox arcade version of this game over and over as a kid, it's really amazing how the graphics and animation still look good today. I'm looking forward to playing the new Ninja Turtles game by Dotemu, it looks like a real love letter to the TMNT arcade games.
New one is good
I was 10 when this was released. I remember watching four older guys complete this in a local arcade, good times.
Watching the older kids complete games was amazing to me. They were like real life super heroes. I remember watching a guy beat ultimate mortal kombat doing all the fatalies, and beating shao khan like it was nothing. I stood there in school. Lmao
Fun Fact: They wanted robots for Shredder's footsoldiers so the boys could just cut loose with all of their weapons and deadly moves
No one was killed, we got to see mindless violence
Good times
The foot soldiers were robots anyway in the original cartoon series that this was based on. So more so that they were sticking to it than the concern of violence.
All the quarters I spent playing this game were totally worth it!
My favorite arcade game as a kid. The music was awesome!!
I dont know how to describe the feeling, seeing these old games makes me sad that those childhood moments were gold, i dont know whether scarcity is a factor here, things are in abundance and so perfect that i personally dont enjoy anything like i did when i was a child, movies tasted different, sega and Nintendo games was a killer, getting the opportunity to play contra, sonic, sega mortal Kombat, mario, was better than eating my dinner. The world is gone.
It’s funny how I remember this game coming out and I remember playing it, but I have no memory of the fire in the top and bottom of the screen!
Love

1 thing that I'll never forget about this game is when you are fighting both Rocksteady and Bebop and they run into each other and crash. It sucks that in the NES version you fight Baxter Stockman in his fly from instead.
@@krvnjrcbs No you are wrong,No offense. I had the cartridge for my NES.
One of the advantages of having Asperger's syndrome is you have a photographic memory with the intelligence of an elephant.
An elephant never forgets
BTW that's my favorite animal to see in the zoos and Circuses.
With that kind of intelligence you are good at video games.
I know for a fact that the Baxter Stockman in his fly form is at the DMV stage where in the arcade machine version.
You fight both Rocksteady and Bebop.
The snow stage in the NES version comes before the DMV stage where they altered it to Baxter Stockman in his fly form when it should have been Rocksteady and Bebop put together.
WTF were they thinking???
I never seen or heard of Tora or Shogun in the franchise or much less heard of there being toys of them.
This is why the actual arcade machine is much better than the watered down NES crap 🎸🎸🎸🤘🤘🤘🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🐢🐢🐢💫💫💫
Whoops I had it backwards.
I meant the automobile dealership
Not the DMV.
LoL
Wow, this game was so ahead of its time.
The ninjas get so bored, they are on their phones, waiting for their turn to attack.
You can't unsee that now 😆
Haven't seen this game since we were actually playing It in an arcade in maybe 1992 - - gosh, I remember the graphics as being so much better ha ha
The graphics were much better than this. They look like crap on a LCD screen. CRTs are the only way to view these games.
Definitely one of the better final boss fights imo in an old school game. Thanks for sharing
Wow thanks for posting, this just transported me to El Salvador very early 90s spending all my money playing this, great times
I can't even count how many times I've played this game back in the day
I remember vividly how my friends and I skipped class just to see if the rumors about A NEW 4 SIMULTANEOUS PLAYER TMNT VIDEOGAME just arrived to one of Santiago de Chile's biggest city town arcades were true back in 1989. The machine was surrounded by easily 80 kids 12-16 yo, gasping in awe to the characters every move. Such beautiful memories. Thanks for uploading!
Go, Leonardo! Go! You have always been my favorite turtle.
Leonardo my favorite character
voiced by Liquid Snake
Which console the game available on it?
The leader
This was a dam good Arcade when it came out. Me and my cousin spent 5 dollars in quarters beating this game.
A classic, timeless, and solid game! And one of my ALL TIME favorites!
When multiplayer was going out to an arcade and physically meeting new ppl. Felt so good to have others jump in a game while you’re playing.. this game, the simpsons game and the marvel game (the one where the players shrunk on certain levels).
Words can't express how much I LOVED this game
Born in 83, I used to play this at Chuck E Cheese all the time.
I’d play it all the way through to the end.
I can distinctly remember one time when I ran out of tokens and I was at the last boss and the timer was ticking down and I was genuinely pleading for someone to give me a token so I could finish.
Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Simpler times.
This game is interesting. The animation is well done and reminds me of "The Simpsons" arcade game. Music is great too and shares similarities with Turtles in Time for SNES
@@Multifacted_Brotha
As with Turtles in Time. Konami has many splendid games.
If anything, the music shares similarities to Hyperstone Heist (aka, the TMNT Turtles in Time port) since the arcade uses an FM chip and PCM while the Mega Drive uses FM and 2 PCM channels. Then again, Turtles in Time arcade (the ORIGINAL version) uses an FM chip and PCM chip too, but the PCM chip was much more advanced.
@@solarflare9078
Hats off to you for being very knowledgeable
Which console the game available on it?
@@licen5767 The actual ROM is playable on MAME32 emulators. A port was made for the NES. I don't know if any modern consoles have a download file of this game.
Really brings you back.
These were great and then the Tournament Fighters came out on Super Nintendo. That struck an obsession with how cool they looked.
Nostalgic for sure. I like how the enemies explode like a bomb when defeated!
it makes sense, since this iteration of the Foot were machine
Anybody else here from Solihull, UK? they had this game at the arcade at the old UCI cinema in the early nineties, along with Michael Jacksons Moonwalker, WWF Wrestlefest, Altered Beast, Shadow Warriors, Midnight Resistance, Power Drift and a couple of others. The Turtles game always had the volume cranked up very high and you could smell the pizzas from the Pizza Hut they had next door - how appropriate:) you could never get anywhere near Turtles, it was always surrounded by a crowd - such an awesome game. I would have been happy staying in the arcade, rather than seeing the films most of the time :) sadly that cinema is long gone, demolished some time back and now it's all car dealerships. The Cineworld in Solihull town centre unfortunately isn't anywhere near as good, and of course there is no arcade there :( but it's great to see old school retro arcades seem to be making a comeback with places like Arcade Club UK and NQ64.
One of my all time favorite games.
Absolutely killed this game in the arcade & on Nintendo...the good old days...
This was the best time... Kids from now will never experience something like this!
This is best action arcade video game teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles original 1989 I play this game when I was 9 years of age way back then now I'm 43 years of age I still 👍 like this video game that's turtle power 🍕 pizza it reminds me 👍 very good old days and now
11:19 😅Boy- that Bird flipping foot soider must really have strong resentments towards the turtles.
The memories of playing this in the Arcade hall while skipping ' school day ' xD
Man this game was fun. I was "too old" to enjoy the cartoon much but this game was arcade gold.
I love having this unlocked on Battle Nexus, but having this playing in the background with the original music makes it even better! Thanks!!
Thank god the new Shredder's revenge fixed so many gameplay mechanics of the original. Hitboxes, grabs, just basics of what a brawler should nail down!
Esse vídeo meu trouxe para o longínquo ano de 1990, jogando em um bar na esquina numa maquina de 4 controles, com os meus 09 anos era uma coisa única, uma sensação maravilhosa. Que saudades!!!
Eu com 8 anos ia de ônibus aos sábados pro shopping da cidade com meu irmão de 11 anos, com dinheiro para 5 fichas para cada um, às 9 da manhã, esperávamos o shopping abrir para sermos os primeiros a jogar, e ainda assim tivemos que esperar na fila algumas vezes... Jogo épico, era febre na época!
Leo says to Raph, Don, and Mikey when he gets home to the sewer:
"a lot of help you guys were. you wouldn't believe the day I had. forget pizza... I need a beer."
Leonardo my favorite character because i love Rainbow blue
🤣🤣👍🏼
Who else is here before playing TMNT Shredder’s Revenge?
Me
o/
everyone remembers the first time they saw this shit out live at an arcade back in the 90s....shit was like 40 Christmas holidays at the same damn time.
The single greatest beat em up of all time!
Impressive is an understatement. This dude beat the game with a single quarter. I didn't watch the entire video but I'm assuming he didn't die once. So he actually beat the game with 12.5 cents. There's no way I could have done that in my wildest dreams. Those 2 rock generals usually massacre all the turtles during a 4-player arcade session. But I bought this game in the Mini-Arcade version from Walmart in 2020, and then again on the PS5 TMNT Collector's game. It will never get old. Great video.
I loved this arcade game and I remember it being harder to beat than turtles in time.
Bro.... You easily argue that this game is one of the greatest arcade games EVER MADE... 🤯🙌🏾🔥
This game is amazing! I never experienced it in an arcade because that wasn’t my era but I played it on the Xbox 360 as a child and loved it!
The REAL Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles not that crap that Nick forces down our throats.
One of my fave games completed this many times in the arcade with friends loved it , great share 👍
I am enjoying this game from the Cowabunga collection! Epic!
You and me both buddy
This game was in the skating rink we went too, best game ever !!!
This game was the future. Left me without words back then
This game and the X-Men game were 2 of my favorite arcade games.
Xmen
i remember when there was a group of people first trying to emulate this game back in 1999/2001 somewhere in there? cant find their website but it was before MAME took over. I loved watching the progress of one of my favorite childhood arcades come home to the PC
After 33 years, April has became a kungfu master herself.
Simply fantastic and fabulous ... still remember it when saw it for the first time in the late 1980s and 1990s ... even now looking really good ... Great Memories ...
This is one of the best arcade games ever made.
Congratulations!!!!! I am so inspired by y’all love and relationships. I wish you best of luck on your journey together!
I remember a local pub up the road from me 🤣 this had the Arcade machine me and a school kid Ben Jones went into the pub and played it for about ten minutes before been spotted lol by the pub owners....where are your parents lol
Cool
Got chills and goose bumps when the music came on! I have spent Soooooo much time on this game as kid!! It was amazing playing with 4 friends feeding the arcade machine as we had no idea how to play lol.
This game is still standing solid against today's 4K graphics .. awesome 👌
4 player of this at the arcade is how we make friends back in the 90s
heck yeah i remember making friends out of nowwhere by meeting at the arcades.. NOW 2024 is online
I vaguely remember playing this game in the arcade. It was great, but I remember the Nintendo version more. One of the best game sequels ever made.
A sequel only for the Nintendo NES. The arcade was the first Turtles game.
I can still picture being at the roller rink, playing this. The roller rink was the only place I could play it for a good while because I wasn't tall enough to see the screen without skates on my feet.
That place seemed so cool to me as a kid. Dank, grey, clouded with cigarette smoke.
