and tighten loose ends. Traveling through time can tie together all imaginable themes,

while still making sense of all kinds of things. You want sci-fi, with robots galore? What

about pirates or a Western? And let’s not forget the dinosaurs. The foot clan, Shredder

and Splinter, or how about being crush flat? Don’t worry, Turtles in Time has all of

that. But let me take you back in time to visit

the ghost of gaming’s past, back to the mystical year of our lord nineteen hundred

and ninety one – a year with great promise for fun. The Super Nintendo Entertainment

System had just been released and had a lot to live up to, no average beat’em up would

do. The NES had some greats like Double Dragon and Battletoads. Luckily a new title would

deliver substance by the busloads – a game about some teenagers who happen to be mutants

and ninjas... and turtles I should add. This group of friends is still around even today,

proving they’re more than just a fad. They're also all named after renaissance artists so

they say, but that’s a time travel trip for another day.

Turtles in Time begins as things go awry, when Krang swoops in to steal the statue of

liberty from up high. Yes, Ledenardo I agree, a bloated bean bag

indeed. It’s time to stop these villains and their dastardly deeds. After choosing

your desired turtle, you jump right into the action and over many a hurtle. You’ll have

to face off against plenty of bosses like Bebop and Rocksteady, but don’t worry, these

ninja turtles were born ready. With a nun-chuck, sword slash, drop kick,

or bash with your shoulder, the combat is still great fun even though I am now older.

It’s intelligent and easy to learn but hard to master. And, the combat looks great with

fantastic animations that might just bring you to laughter.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in Time has familiar characters and a fun vibe, which brings the

whole thing alive. It’s an amazing 2D side-scroller beat’em up, it’s a classic and, yes, you

should give a F%*k. So go blow the dust off your Super Nintendo Entertainment System,

you really won’t want to miss this one.
