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.

[@Eagles7sjn]

[@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.

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😢

[@SeekerLancer]

This was super fun to watch with all four turtles.

[@jeruma2002]

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.

[@edwinreyes5047]

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

[@kathleenbush8436]

[@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

[@Radman1889]

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

[@2DamnSeddy]

They aint gettin any prettier...

[@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

[@LucidGhostbuster]

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

[@sarcanicus1]

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

[@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

[@BryFo]

8:27 When I was young I thought he said, "F**k those Turtles". Lol 😂😂😂

[@Ieatpaste23]

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

[@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 :'(

[@brianburrage6382]

Damian Palafox lol i know right

[@EnigmaHood]

I would have called him out on that.

mastertjackson yea i used play this and the simpsons 4 player arcade game

[@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)

[@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.

[@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."

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@VictorCampos]

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

[@astrangeone]

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

[@shailesh30051970]

I still have this console and I remember blowing in the cas set when it's not working

[@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.

[@lambda494]

09:15: -Turtles jump into Technodrome Immediately after: "We gotta find the Technodrome!!!"

[@allindignant]

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

[@TheRealBDouble]

I remember my local pizza joint, Vito's, had this and T2:The Arcade Game. Ah, memories

[@kyucklebeans]

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!

[@ElFino013]

12:28 I guess 12-28-1987 was an important date?

[@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...

[@HartleySan]

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

[@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.

[@anonymousperson580]

Poor Rocksteady, they mercilessly beat the shit out of him on that first level lol.

[@AphasicMute]

There were trying their best to kick him out that window

[@MrGaming-uq9il]

Damn takes me back also putting in a lot of tokens to play this game every time we would go to the mall I would spend all my time in the Arcade until it was time to leave =)

[@tiesoul2649]

I remember playing this in a bowling alley that my dad would take me to way back in the day.I so wish PSN would release this arcade version.

[@Mi436]

My childhood :(

[@josephrobichaud2852]

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!

[@deontemerritt91]

I love this Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Arcade game I got to order it classic from the 80's. 🐢🍕🍕🍕🕹🕹🕹🕹🕹

This looks so much fun! Playing four people at the same time! :D Never got around playing this, but played the hell out of Turtles in Time on SNES. :)

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.

[@cyrus2546]

Yeah that made no sense loll

[@persona83]

Smart ass millenials...

[@himonfukwe]

The voice acting in this game was top-notch.

[@mdmills]

Trips me out how fluid the animation was for this game back in 1989, compared to say, Final Fight which came out a few years later.

[@inlovewithi]

+mdmills Final Fight came out in 1989. It's original name was going to be Street Fighter 1989.

@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.

[@jfliguy]

Four giant size turtles beating up masked ninjas, a giant hog and rhino? Just a normal day in New York City

[@JAWZMUZIK1]

i remember when this first come out in the arcade. I'm so glad I'm not part of this generation. . NES did a good adaptation too. badass!!!!

[@waldoman7]

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...

[@sonicpacker]

beautiful encode

[@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?

[@jayNicks10]

Damn, y’all cruises through that.

Yeah, sure. And I'm sure you remember a snow and a samurai level being in the "originals" too, right?

[@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.

[@Runeless]

HAHAHA! "FIRE!!!" "Hang on A--" And then it looked like Splinter was saying it but it ...doesn't sound like any Splinter I ever heard....LOL!! Nostalgia out the ass though.

[@ladypercymackjohnson3484]

That's what you call kick ass right there.

[@AaronLassen]

Nostalgia overload

[@victorwilliams74]

With 4, sure. I remember this game being unnecessarily hard with 2. That last part fighting the rock dude, then krang, then shredder is ridiculous.

[@JustinEvitable80]

LOL at Raph during the Bebop fight.

[@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.

[@jessicamitchell2225]

Never seen a game dominated like this.

[@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

[@stefanradebach2889]

How was he able to do this on 4 player mode? Just a curious question.

[@dahwriter]

You just drove off a perfectly good bridge for no apparent reason. "Cowabunga!"

[@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.

[@d-money314]

this was a good arcade version classic

[@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.

[@RenegadeHero13]
