Arcade Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in

[@Illgaia]

I like how bored all the villains sound. "Tonight, I dine on turtle soup." That wasn't a threat, he's just informing them of his Tuesday evening plans.

[@AllFlashNoDash]

Actually it was a threat. Meaning they'll be dead by nightfall and in his bowl of soup.

[@AphasicMute]

Agreed. That could've been an exotic dish he ordered.

[@GenerationX1984]

Krang and the Technodrome. The original Turtles cartoons was the best!!! I'm glad I grew up watching it on Saturday mornings. The good ole days.

[@killaskrilla5320]

This TMNT game and "Turtles in Time" will always be the greatest.

[@daminmancejin]

you forgot turtles hyperstone heist for the genesis ^_^

[@bruceleeroy8302]

Killa Skrilla It's amazing that after all these years, video game producers haven't come close to making a game close to as good as these games.

[@daminmancejin]

yup they cant beat the classic only if they go way back to the good old days again

[@Blackwolfninja89]

Shredders revenge has proven to be a worthy successor to those two games.

When I was a kid I thought this had the most amazing graphics of any game I had ever played...!

[@ashnecko]

Jerry Zoumis me too.

[@kyucklebeans]

The physics were so “lifelike” they blew my mind! When you threw guys into the wall they splayed out just right. I still get mad at how inferior both the NES and SNES versions of TMNT/TIT sprite detail and animations were to the arcade.

[@Locodeus]

God damn, this takes me back. I can still smell the movie popcorn while I'm watching this.

[@jesseking1403]

Your memories involving games prior to movies sound like the best, mine only involve the sound of Cabela arcade machines😢

[@edwinreyes5047]

Brings back memories..Not a bad game for its time and I loved the way the game was like the cartoon series.

[@SeekerLancer]

This was super fun to watch with all four turtles.

[@jaym5118]

I wish that this, Turtles in Time, and The Simpsons arcade versions would release on Wii U Virtual Console. When I unlocked this original Ninja Turtles arcade in Battle Nexus, I was SO disappointed with it. I hated how it had unoriginal music, and that the voice clips were removed. I didn't even play it because I was so disgusted.

[@briantaylor1918]

Jay M i played it, but on the tiny PiP corner screen, while someone else was watching a tv show

[@garshanarny]

This has gotta be my favorite TAS I've ever seen. It's really a work of art. I wonder if December 28 1987 is a birthday or something. I believe it should have been right around the same time the cartoon premiered.

[@sarcanicus1]

i loved the old ninja turtles show and this game was great.

[@GnosticXMusic]

TMNT is pretty much solely responsible for my adult addiction to pizza. "Pizza time!"

[@Alysa-Aiday]

@alicia peet: Thursday Friday & Saturday are my "Pizza Nights"

[@Alysa-Aiday]

I can't go one weekend; Thursday, Friday & Saturday, without pizza & Mountain Lightning soda

[@Ieatpaste23]

You know what I loved about this cartoon? How they would have a different voice actor on every once in a while.

[@LucidGhostbuster]

I played the hell out of this in the arcade as a kid. This was awesome to watch.

[@corneliusbransonflogger5446]

This was my fav game as a kid till mk 1 came out. I remember huge lines to play mk1.... But all I can say about this game is ahhhh back in the day when a boss used to flashbred when they were almost dead

[@kyucklebeans]

Nothing will ever come close to the hysteria of MK1 in 94...I remember the impossibly long lines as well

[@BBQDog1234]

Raphael reminds me of myself in teamwork. Pretend like I'm doing something but hardly contributing to the work and let my teammates do all the work. Haha well played Raphael.

[@trans8010]

@jaboo82681 Not exactly true, he was the one credited for knocking out Rocksteady, General Tragg, and Krang.

[@trans8010]

@jaboo82681 Like myself in the same situation, be the guy with the lucky shot, to become the hero everyone resents because of their hard labor no longer being recognized as the real achievement.

[@EvilishDem0nic8732WhatItDo]

Don't forget Family Fun Centers with Mini Golf like Malibu Castle

[@hairyasstruman2257]

My closest Chuck E. Cheese was 50 miles away. What we had was The Gold Mine; an arcade in the mall that had a ramp leading down into a huge, dark room, illuminated only by the 120 arcade cabinets down there. There were two coin changers and two attendants present at all times. R.I.P. Gold Mine (1984-1995)

[@iFupTrolls]

I like how Raphael is doing almost nothing lol

[@P34V3Y7]

i think when he kicks them offscreen they dont die because the attack is weak. but they stay gone when he does

[@cekinci]

He is doing everything he can to not do anything.

[@moniquebarber5700]

F try try y

[@BryFo]

He's trying but the other 3 turtles have better range on instant kill moves while Ralph instant kill move requires 2 hits. They watered him down in the arcade version.

[@clairebun]

El Joelo I'm sure if this were an actual tv episode, this would be no different

[@Professor_Gamble]

When I played this on arcade some jerk with full energy would always eat the pizza :'(

The more players in a TAS, the better! :P "You're dead, shell-brain"

[@2DamnSeddy]

They aint gettin any prettier...

[@ShinOnigashima]

No, it is the first one, arcade wise. It was TMNT II in the NES because the NES already had a different game before.

[@SirVG]

According to the runner himself: "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (known as Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles in Europe due to controversy at the time) is an American animated television series produced by Murakami-Wolf-Swenson. It was animated overseas in Japan by: Toei Animation. It was first piloted on during the week of December 28, 1987."

[@jwstout007]

I pumped quarters and quarters into this arcade cabinet during my youth with what once was my college fund, and to see it beat in under 13 minutes... the education was worth it!

[@astrangeone]

I loved this game. And just hearing some of the voices makes me want to play it again!

[@HartleySan]

TAS or not, this is still amazing to watch. Thanks.

[@superdarkhadou]

Great memories, I played in arcades and pizza shops in which spent many coins hehe. The last play was in 2019 at Walmart with Arcade 1-Up which them showed. Also thanks which will appear in Cowadunga Collection.

[@fidelshorter660]

I used to love playing this game back in the day, At pizza 🍕 hut in Detroit on west 7mile Rd. Those were the days.

[@twn5858]

Fuck yeah! I loved this game as a child.

[@VictorCampos]

This game made me the man I am today: A pizza-eating freak.

[@crispinroy9839]

I had to pump atleast a few hundred bucks in quarters on this one back in the day. It still looks and sounds amazing all these years later.

Kraang: I'm invincible! The Turtles proceed to kick his ass.

[@Wyrenth]

@Aoki85 I imagine it was supposed to be both April and Splinter that got nabbed when they were recording audio, but things changed mid-development and they didn't feel like bringing back the voice actor for a re-take.

[@rhey81]

I thought that shredder fight was gonna be complicated with the many mirror images and it was over before I could type my comment. Well done...

These TAS bots are having the run I always dreamt of having with my squad 30 years ago! One token each! That was good fun watching them wreck The Foot!

[@himonfukwe]

The voice acting in this game was top-notch.

[@jaym5118]

Man, these levels are so short and easy looking compared to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Arcade Game on the NES.

[@EnigmaHood]

Trust me, it wasn't easy. He just makes it look easy because it's a TAS. The bosses were cheap asf, they would get free hits in while being hit stunned that would knock you down and take off a chunk of health. Sometimes they would get you in a knock down loop that you couldn't recover from.

[@toocool6900]

TooCool Raphael is clearly the best in the NES version for some reason. Check out the video on my channel

the best turtles game ever!!!!!! someone needs to bring this to the ps4 with all 4 players.

9:07 Splinter got out ON HIS OWN! So what did he need the turtles for then? lol Seriously though, they should have shown one of the turtles cutting down the rope that held Splinter up to show that they actually saved him.

[@RBEO22]

"There it is!" Scene 5: We gotta find the thechnodrome!

[@Maxx_XIII]

I assume that they hid April somewhere because they just rescued her and are smart enough to not let her get involved with any fighting, so with 4 turtles fighting and Casey Jones not making any appearances in this game, it's my belief that Splinter was driving the Turtle Van. That's why the elderly shouldn't drive.

if you're not part of this generation, yet you remember when it came out, then that implies that you're too OLD for this game? yet you praise it...

My local bowling alley made a killing off of me because of this game. One if my favirite childhood memories is the arcade at the bowling alley...yeah buddy!

[@user-qc2kv8lx7f]

damn man those turtles were beating some ass that day. only thing the villains seen in this game was wood, feet and metal in their face. most of the enemies don't even make on the damn screen except for if they are thrown on there to blow up.

[@anthonybille4069]

Damn! Tearing it up! Nice job. :)

[@MiraiGen]

The TV showing April and Shredder sounds cool until you think about it. Did he pre-record a VHS of him taunting the turtles/April screaming and just dropped it by the electronics store or something?

[@P34V3Y7]

aaaaaaaaand this isnt on psn.... WHY???

[@greencoman]

Great vid. What impresses me more is that you had three awesome people to play with. Great game. Too bad it was so short. I do not know if you know this but they took both TMNT games off XBLA if that is how you were playing it.

[@DrLove0378]

It would have made more sense, had they put the "We gotta find the Technodrome" inter-title screen BEFORE the "There it is!" cut scene.

[@thisisJim85]

the moves Raph and Mike were doing ay the end of level 2

[@LaBlueSkuld]

I'm kinda curious about the usage of Raphael in this TAS. Is he being used to manipulate enemy placement and behavior? He's almost always at a third to just a quarter of the other Turtle's scores as he's often just moving about on the side of the action. Do the points also have a factor in what the game loads or sets numerical values to?

[@stides40]

+La Blue it's because unique to raf is his special attack which sucks and doesn't one hit enemies like the other 3 turtles.

[@artman40]

Raph seems to be showing off in TASish manner!

[@michael2244]

Why was Raph not really doing much?
