Overview:

Back of Box

Fresh from the classic comics comes heroes in a half shell!

The Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles are out to rescue lovely April O'Neil, who's been captured by Shredder- a maniac more menacing than an army of mind altered Bruce Lees.
But if they're to succeed, you must command the role of each turtle (one at a time, of course), rumbling through six New York territories patrolled by Ninjitsu Warriors, blood descendants of the deadly Foot Clan.
Along the way, you'll encounter Mouser infested sewers, criminally polluted rivers and villainous streets run by the terrorist team of Bebop and Rocksteady.
To overcome these inhumane hazards, utilize your reptilian brain and map out strategies that will help you locate secret sewage passages. Also be sure to alternate your turtle identity throughout the mission, matching each turtle's strengths with those of the ever changing enemy.
So grab your nunchukus and prepare to put yourself in someone else's shell. Because in this to-the-death adventure, you'll control every leap, chop, slice and dice, until you knock heads with Shredder and either splatter him senseless or get yourself turned into turtle soup.

Game Trivia:

  • The game is based on the four comic book anthropomorphic turtles who first appeared in 1984 and were created by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird. The Turtles went on to appear in various TV shows and movies.
  • When the Turtles first arrived in the UK the name was changed to Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles as it was deemed the word Ninja was related to violent connotations and was too violent for children's programs. The word Ninja has been used in the UK though for various versions.

The game was found on the following compilation:
