Anyone growing up in the late 80's or early 90's is probably familiar with the eponymous heroes in a half-shell. To say that Turtles were a big deal is an understatement; I have memories of my parents being forced to make multiple trips to the nearest Toys 'R' Us to get a full set of the action figures for Christmas since the store would only allow customers one figure per sale!
The slew of TMNT merchandise was endless, from lunch boxes, to action figures to video games. Whilst it's no surprise that an arcade coin-op featuring the turtles exists, TMNT: The Arcade game was a rarity for a number of reasons, not least that it was available in a deluxe and, frankly massive, cabinet that supported four-player simultaneous co-op gameplay! Provided that you had enough friends available and a suitably weighty sack of coins, it was possible to play as your favourite turtle and really sock it to Shredder, Krang and a million Foot Clan goons in this beat 'em up by Konami.
It was a commonly accepted that fact that arcade games with dedicated chips, CPUs and extended banks of memory allowed for gaming experiences that was simply out of reach of home users (SNK's Neo Geo being a notable exception). TMNT is an especially lavish title featuring graphics, animation and sound that were far in excess of many other arcade titles of the era. Everything from the imposing cabinet, brightly-lit marquee, huge screen and sumptuous graphics was designed to attract punters like moths to a naked flame.
Having played the game, perhaps the innovation of it's four-player co-op is also the game's biggest shortcoming. While the first level is manageable by a single player, subsequent levels throw enemies at you in such huge quantities as to practically demand the help from additional players. The enemies are not insignificant in their ability to deal significant damage to your chosen turtle, with many of them carrying weapons that allow them to out-range any of your own attacks. Playing the game alone soon became a lesson in frustration, particularly on the hover-board level where Foot Clan soldiers piloting gyro-copters with machine guns and rockets would reduce you to pile of smouldering ash. A two-player arcade cabinet was also available, but I don't know whether the actual game was any different to account for the reduced player count.
Despite these frustrations, the game is never less than a visual or audible treat. Whilst the graphics and animation are superb, I think that the quality of the sound and digital effects is really the stand-out feature of the game. The opening theme tune from the cartoon show that plays during the game's attract mode is of exceptionally high quality for the time; digital effects and speech were nothing new at the time of the game's release, but this is one of the first that sounded just like it did from the show and not like it was being played from inside a postbox, under water in a distant lake.
The game was ported to the majority of home computers of the day, including the C64, Spectrum and Amiga. Whilst attempts to bring the arcade experience to these machines were admirable, doing so and expecting the end result to be anything like the coin-op seemed like a fools errand. It wouldn't be until Konami released the subsequent sequel, Turtles in Time, on the SNES that a true arcade experience was available to play at home.
Providing you have friends on hand, TMNT: The Arcade Game remains one of the best beat 'em up experiences around. If you're playing solo, be prepared for frustration.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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.

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.
