A kind of mediocre beat em up that made a ton of money way back when. It took me $9 worth of continues to beat.

Pros:
pretty great art
very faithful to the show
plays decently
Helped to bring back arcades for another decade along with final fight and double dragon, which were starting to have issues at the time.
Indirectly lead to street fighter 2 being created.

Cons:
A real quarter sucker
Fairly bland unless you really love the tv show
That awful side art
Generally impossible to defeat normally without continuing a ton

Turtles in Time is better in every possible way but this is still a fine arcade game and I don't regret the 30 minutes.
