   First off I want to start off by saying as a kid I was a huge Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fan. I had it all. The toys, the VHS tapes everything. To me it was the best franchise for a kid growing up in the 90's to be a fan of. Now as an adult I'm still a fan but not as much. So I was very delighted to find out that this site has the arcade version of a video game I grew up playing as a kid. But I'm not writing my review based on the MAME version of the game. No, my review is coming off the fact that I myself own an actual working arcade cabinet of the game. Don't get me wrong I love the MAME version but its not the version I played prior to my review. Mainly because I owned the arcade cabinet long before I knew about this site.

   Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time was developed, published and released by Konami back in 1990 is a 4 player style beat 'em up where the player can select from 1 of 4 turtles. Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo and Raphael. Like the first game for the arcades this one also a 2D side scrolling beat 'em up. So is it better or worse then the first one? Does it hold up just as good if not better then the first? Lets answer those questions and more in my review of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time.

   Difficulty 2. With this being the MAME version of the game its not very hard at all considering you can add as many credits as you want. Also the controls are very tight and responsive. Of course I'm speaking as a person that's using a Xbox 360 controller.

   Depth 4: There isn't a lot of depth to the game. All you do is go right and beat up the various bad guys as you go. That's all there is to it. The game itself doesn't take that long to beat. I've gone through the entire game start to finish in about an hour. An hour and a half at the most. Its a short game but a fun game.

   Story 5: The story is kind of mediocre. The story involves our Heroes in a Half Shell going on a rescue mission through time to get back the stolen Statue of Liberty that was stolen by Shredder. That's basically the entire story right there. As I said not really much of one.

   Addictiveness 10: This game is simply a blast to play through. Not once do I get bored whenever I play it. There have been times that I play it more then once a day. Its really that addicting and I highly recommend it to everyone.

   Sound 10. The sounds are amazing to listen to. The music is fun and energetic to listen to. The songs are ones you will remember even when you are not playing the game.

Graphics 10:  The graphics still look amazing and hold up very well despite the game being over 20 years old. They are extremely colorful and very well detailed. I never get tired of looking them as I play the game. Its just a joy to look at.

   Overall 6.8: Now I know with me giving good praise of the game in my other sections you'd think I'd give it a 10. Well no. Mainly because it suffers from 3 main areas for me. First its the difficulty. I wish that even though its the arcade version and you can add as many credits as you want it was a little more harder. Secondly is the depth. I wish it could have been longer then it was or had more to offer. But unfortunately it does not. The third and final thing is the story. I wish there was more to it then there was. Sometimes I wish it was more involved then what it was.

   So aside from those 3 factors is it a game worth your time? Yes. I cannot recommend this game enough. You would be doing yourself a favor if you give this game a moment of your time. You will definitely not be disappointed.

Thumbs up from bringing back the nostalgia! I wouldn't consider my self a "fan" of the Ninja Turtles, but I did like the shows and movies.

Anyway, considering the game looks very "shallow", you did a good job showing why it was so. However, I always prefer more details when it's pertinent; what are some of the tracks you liked? How do the graphics compare to other games of the era?

I loved this game growing up as a kid. I was a huge Turtles fan as well and always played this game when I was at the arcade, and also played it a ton on the SNES.

Just an FYI - MAME just stands for Multi-Arcade-Machine-Emulator. All that means is that it emulates a lot of different arcade hardware, so this most likely is the exact same game as the game you played as a child. The only difference being that you can add unlimited tokens, which actually, you would be able to do if you owned the actual cabinet.

janus : you've never played turtles in time?? How is that possible?
