Technically played via the Cowabunga Collection on Nintendo Switch.
Those Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles made a decent enough leap to the Game Boy with 1990's Fall of the Foot Clan so naturally a sequel was bound to happen and it arrived a year later in the form of Back from the Sewers.
It's a game that does play a lot like the previous title but unfortunately in this game's scenario, our turtle friends seem to have taken a few rather nasty things with them out of the sewers... like the fact that they seem to walk at the speed of treacle and that their hit boxes seem to have taken a turn for the worse, or the enemies being more annoying this time around or the screen crunch fucking you over in certain cases or the poor bosses.
There's not even any funny story text to laugh at unlike the previous game so no Shredder milkshakes for you this time.
:(
But there are some voice clips though which is kinda impressive for the Game Boy so there's that I guess.
I wanted to like this just as much as the first GB game but I'm afraid to say, this wasn't much fun to play and is a massive stepdown in quality. Better to just leave this one in the Turtles time machine.
Anyway, "Pizza time!"
