Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles arcade gameplay

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Arcade Game is an arcade game produced by Konami in 1989. It is a scrolling beat 'em up based on the popular comic and the 1987 TV series of the same name. As with all merchandise relating to the Ninja Turtles, the name of this game was altered to Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles in Europe, due to censorship issues involving the word "ninja." The Japanese release of the arcade game bore the subtitle of Super Kame Ninja (スーパー亀忍者, Sūpā Kame Ninja, lit. "Super Turtle Ninja"), which was omitted from the later Famicom version of the game.

The player chooses from one of the four Ninja Turtles: Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello, and Raphael. After Shredder kidnaps the turtles' friend April O'Neil and their mentor Splinter, they must give chase, save their comrades, and defeat their nemeses.

The majority of the enemies the Turtles must face are the Foot Soldiers. They wear a different colored uniform depending on what weapon they have.

Up to four players (in the NES version two) can take control of Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo and Raphael. As usual in the 1980s and 1990s TMNT games, Donatello has slower attacks but a longer range, Michelangelo and Raphael have fast attacks but a short range, and Leonardo is a well-rounded Turtle with average range and speed.

The controls are fairly straightforward. The eight-way joystick controls the movements of the Turtle, the jump button makes them jump and the attack button makes them hit in front of them using their weapon. In addition to this, some combinations are possible. The Turtles can throw Foot soldiers overhead, and by pressing the jump and attack buttons, a special attack is performed. Raphael rolls along the ground and finishes with a kick, while the other Turtles do a jump attack with their weapons.

Boy does this arcade game bring back memories. I used to play it a lot at Pizza Hut when I was little. It was also my favorite game of the original NES.

Looks a lot better than the NES port. I always remember the third game being a lot easier than this, and I think the reason is that this game was designed to devour quarters, and as such, not to have limited continues, while the third game was designed with the NES in mind.

TMNT on Arcade had great graphics, as did most arcade games. NES graphics were subpar compared to this. These are basically like, what, super nintendo graphics?
