Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is an action game released by Konami for the NES in 1989, based on the animated series and comics. Players can freely switch among all four Turtles — each with distinct weapon ranges and combat characteristics — navigating overhead maps and side-scrolling stages to rescue April O'Neil and Master Splinter from the Shredder. The game is notorious for its punishing difficulty: the underwater bomb-defusing segment and relentless pit traps frustrated countless players. Choosing the right Turtle for each situation is a key part of the strategy needed to reach the end.
