30 years later and game still looks amazing, 80s 90s kids we were lucky to have experienced this as kids
It was dope and still is man I wanted the arcade in my basement as a kid in the 90s lol
@@madreas418 that's still my dream if i can ever buy a damn house lol
@@Guy-mx4fb I feel you man lol👊🏾
No you weren’t
Thank you Konami!
For my 10th birthday, my dad gave me a roll of quarters for the arcade. My best friend and I spent half of it beating this game. Good times.
+BeefyLevinson , I saw this game for the first time back in 1989 and $2.00 later, I beat it and seriously impressed some people that had joined myself and my brother in playing this game.
Aw that's awesome, 😊❤️I have childhood memories of this game too. I was 8 I think and me and my mom went for a walk to the corner store for milk. When we got there I bugged her to go into the arcades and we started playing this one. I remember vividly her throwing 5 dollar bills at me screaming to go get more quarters 😂 we ended beating the whole game and it was so funny because it was me and my mom (in her hijab) and a whole bunch of like 10-12 year old white boys gathered around watching. 1991 😌
Yeah, sure!
😔 spent way more
I was exactly the same age, and doing the very same thing! How quickly time flies by, buddy!
Anyone who disliked this never knew what a legendary arcade game was...
This game is still in my memory banks as one of best arcade games ever.
@@TitansTrust looking for a walkthrough with some finesse and skill on stage 3. trying to make it through without being killed. stage 1 and 2 were easy.
or unfortunately. I don't give a shit about modern gaming.
Same here. I prefer old games lol
@Sheldon Cooper - shut up!
When I was a kid, I won a pizza party over at Chuck E. Cheese for my class in 4th grade. We all got about 100 tokens and my best friends and I spent the entire time beating Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. When one feel, we rotated while the other went to get more tokens. We beat the entire game during that whole time! Such great memories!
😊😊...dope ..
This + Simpsons + Xmen + Final Fight = the best beat Em ups.
+Angel S Yes! I remember going to a few birthday parties growing and we would always play those games to try and beat them.
More like Double Dragon and Sonic Battle this is a side scrolling 4 player beat Em up most likely to the success of Double Dragon. Cowabunga! Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles x2 Heroes in a half shell turtle power! Say your prayers, turtles! You're dead, she'll brain! Oh my god. I love those lines.
Can't forget Street Fighter II: The World Warrior & Mortal Kombat
+GRP956 Those were 2D fighters. I'm talking about side scrolling beat em ups where you just walk around and fight people endlessly.
+Angel S I see. anybody remember Bad Dudes?
This audio on this cabinet was so loud and exciting, everybody was drawn to it. If you weren't one of the 4 lucky players with a pocket full of quarters you were a bystander hoping for a turn. One of the best Arcade experiences ever growing up.
The graphics and animation for this time (1989) was amazing. You gotta remember most games were purely side scrolling, with no moving closer and further from the screen. Most games, particularly console games, did not look like this.
Yeah, this game has only barely aged at all. My only gripe when playing this at my local arcade is that the joysticks have almost no play left in them. :(
@@m1c2bWfBCP2Fupgg lmao this is a 2d beat'em up and Turtle wasn't the first game like this, and they aren't faking 3d lmao its not a 3d game
"You gotta remember most games were purely side scrolling"
SEGA, Namco, Atari, and Data East games would say otherwise.
Think the best thing about it is how it captures cartoon feeling it's based off, gameplay/co-op is solid and the music/sounds And even voice samples *while not the same actors from the show it's great it even has it* match the 1987 show perfectly
@@solarflare9078 You could add Taito and Konami to that mix as well.
thank god I got to live through this era of arcade gaming
Indeed! 🥂💜
Damn that final stage just screams "GET READY FOR THE FIGHT OF YOUR DAMN LIFE!" The music, every thing being thrown at you TWO bosses before the battle with Shredder, absolutely epic!
I remember this game. There would always be 4 players on it, and a queue waiting to play. When someone ran out of money and died, the next person would simply take over his turtle, feed the machine with quids, and start playing.
The lines for this game was crazy
I met 3 random people at Walmart the other day, and we spent an hour beating TMNT on the 1Up Cabinet on display. I walked away with great memories.
20 years ago. I did this same thing with 3 other strangers at a Chuck-E-Cheese.
The child in me saw jaw-dropping graphics. Fluid animation. Awesome music. And at 36, this game still takes me back and delights in ways I still cannot articulate. "You're dead, shell brains!" "They ain't getting any prettier." "Watch your mouth, slimeball!"
Before Konami went down the toilet, they made these awesome games!
They still make Pro Evolution Soccer which is a great game
Yeah. I try to remember the good times or else I get sad.
@@relaxingtopology256 interesting.
@@AlexOjideagu2 PES is no FIFA, nor is it as interesting as the beat-em-up games that they made.
PES is amazing on PS1 and PS2 and destroyed FIFA dead. It sucked on the PS3. On PS4 it's close to decide which is better.
We used to have whole crew playing this game in early nineties. NEVER managed to finish it with all four players alive without continue. We reunited after the years for only one more try :) Two failed to survive final shredder fight, two finished. Maybe someday we will take another shot for victory, because there is one arcade museum we know about...and they have the original four player cabinet in perfect condition :D
I remember playing this at the bowling alley, popping in quarter after quarter. The nes version doesnt compare.
@@paxhumana2015 The Amstrad CPC 464 version was better than all of them!!!!!
Hey, they tried. And the NES did have it's limitations.
The NES port was great for an NES game, but yeah, even when I had that game at home on my nintendo, I'd go dump 10 bucks in quarters keeping my name at the top of the leaderboard at the arcade in my town's pizza joint & arcade.
I used to play this at a bowling alley also👍👍
No it definitely doesn’t. But at the time, it seemed mind-blowing to play this arcade juggernaut at home.
Got this at my local Arcade as a kid. Used to to get the hairs stand up on the back of my neck when the music kicked in. my god I've not seen this in SO many years. thanks for bringing back some memory's!
i rember playing this game back at a Arcade i went to last summer, 4 people joined in with me and well we almost got to the end, but me and the other three died, so it was down to this one guy who was playing at Leo and we were rooting for him, and when he beat the game, we gave him some pizza (since it only seemed fair i guess) good times ineed
I played this game in the summer of 1989, which was I think when it first came out, and, two dollars later, I helped beat that game. Sadly, I wish that it was longer. Maybe Konami, UbiSoft, and whoever owns the rights to TMNT now can get their heads out of their asses, add the NES enemies, bosses, and stages, make a new underground stage, and have Rat King as a boss?
I remember back in the early 90's playing this in the arcade room at the town's pizza joint. Even after Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat became the big games to play, I spent most of my time playing TMNT.
Wait there were 5 of you? But, it’s only a 4 player game. Did some of you take turns or something?
Big Boy yeah, well only when one of us ran out of tokens, that sucked when that happened
My grandma would take me to the video store, rent this for me on Friday's after school, and play this game with me on weekends. She's such a sweet lady. Thanks for posting this great video, memories....
nes version is turtles 2, it dont fucking compare to the arcade though.
Jeremiah Martin Absolutely not. You sound like a complete fucking moron who doesn't know what he's talking about. Get a life you sorry piece of shit.
Jeremiah Martin I think Jeffrey has a case of the "hasn't played it in 20 years, thinks its the same game" condition... I remember back when it came out I used to think it was the same as the arcade, I thought SF2 was the same as arcade on the SNES, same with the MK series and even Killer Instinct. It was only years later when I played these games in Mame or on my own arcade machine, then played them via a SNES or NES that I thought what the fuck was wrong with me back then to think that.. I put it down to the fact that we were just happy back then to have arcade ports, even if they were way inferior, so we overlooked the fact the game was very watered down.
@@Zzsnake217 , you, sir, are full of fucking shit. I beat the actual arcade machine in the summer of 1989 on my first go, and, for the most part, it is a fucking cake walk in comparison to the NES port. Moreover, need I remind you of just how much of a pain in the fucking ass that Shogun was to beat? Yeah, he made the Rocksteady and Bebop fight from the arcade port of the game seem easy by comparison, and he could also hold his own against Krang and Shredder...that is how tough that he, and his stage, were, and you should be fucking thankful that Konami never made a 16-bit port of that game, let alone its sequel in The Manhattan Project, or arcade ports of the NES stages, or The Manhattan Project.
Pax Humana damn... we kinda don't care
Played this for the first time March 30 1990 in a theater while waiting on a certain movie.
Winners don't use drugs
That said it all.. if you didn't have enough quarters your fate was sealed, you were destined for crackheadery. The 80s were a rough time...
that is old school
Michael Phelps kinda throws an interesting skew on this statement.
they sell them
“Chuckling as I take another puff on a joint while watching footage of this classic game.”
Such incredible presentation. Graphics to sound are almost overwhelmingly brilliant. Remember seeing this for the first time in 1991 (I think). My tiny little mind was blown.
Yeah mine too lol
AHH finally a youtube of this game being played the way it was meant to be played!!! 4 players on this game was the only way to go!
Too bad that wasn't always the case.
I got to play this once at a friend's house. One of the best moments of my childhood.
I never figured out why game rooms always smelled like wet sweaty socks then yet no one had there shoes off. One thing I can't stand is that game rooms are gone from malls nowadays.
Well whatever. Someone needs to bring back the old school Turtles we all now in love, not some new age half assed wanna be turtles that they promote today. Everything was so innocent back in the 90's. These new turtles are all wacked out, weird and boring compared to the classic turtles, especially the new movie turtles. granted, they are more realistic but other than that they're just outright irritating. Give us a new old school style turtles arcade game with the classic turtles, with a fresh storyline, revamp the graphics and an old school style look and feel.
+That Cheap Ass Guy AND BRING BACK KRANG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think that smell was just the odour coming from your upper lip. Arcades never smelled "weird" where I live.
Thats Funny, all the arcades I went to reeked of body odor but I never understood the connection.
Exactly
This game should come out on PSN and XBLA where we can download it on PS4 and Xbox One.
Thumbs up if you agree!
Martin Roebuck sadly unlikely, neither Konami nor TMNT would allow it...
Considering Konami removed The Simpsons Arcade game from PSN/XBLA due to licensing it won't happen.
It was a high moment in your life when April kissed your turtle.
Yeah, especially if you're playing with your friends and you've got the highest number of points, this was the fun thing worth fighting for.
Ahhhhhh the memories!!! BEST turtle game ever
So true!
einkahill I guess................ hmmm
arguably one of the best arcade games ever made. I remember begging my mother to let me play this cabinet in the video store
Remember when bosses turned Red!!!!
Nearly defeated. Yes.
Fall...1989...every Friday night...my best friend and I playing this while waiting for our pizza at Round Table to be made. His mom saying it's ready...we need to head back home. Us: we're not done yet!
My god a heritage re-release of this game is about twenty years (at least) overdue!
9:31 I swear, in the new movie that's coming out, there had better be a scene where Bebop and Rocksteady charge towards the Turtles from two different directions and end up bashing their heads right into each other, or else I'm going to be majorly disappointed! That's almost like their trademark bumbling characteristic!
My favorite memory of arcade version is that cut scene where you're getting ready to invade the Technodrome .... and you got 3 other players with you.
Man... this shit brings me back! The glorious music, the amazing graphics, the crisp gameplay... I was so little when I played this at my local arcade, and when Turtles In Time came out for the snes, my mind was blown, it was a perfect sequel for this game! The music got even better! I can even hum to the exact tune of every single level. Ahh, the memories...
they just don't make games like they used to. I would love to see this as a HD remake. Ubisoft hurry up finish making your ridiculous tmnt games. Hopefully Konami can give us TMNT 2, 3, 4 and a new iteration or 2.
Stephen Ferris they did
So many memories with this game....arcades were so dope back in the day
Chuckie Cheese anyone?
ThatZombyKid TM yea dude this was our childhood when I would go to Chuck E. Cheese I said forget about winning tickets I used all my tokens to play this with my friends until we beat it
Me. When I was 9.
@@joshparker1504 Same. My younger brother would pretty much dump all of his tokens into the Smokin' Token machine because he wanted tickets for prizes but I didn't see any fun in just watching your token slide down a slope into a hole (especially since the prizes I wanted would require multiple trips and we only went to Chuck E. Cheese's on our birthdays).
For me, I played games like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles with the other kids and had a blast beating the game with them.
1990: Chuck E. Cheese had this
2019: Many people got the Arcade1Up cabinet
Nope, Bowling alleys.
Magnífico juego. De niño me babeaba empezando los 90s cuando las veía en arcade aquí en Venezuela. Cómo quisiera ser niño otra vez...
All this vid did was make me wish i could travel back to the 80's/90's where toys and movies and games and tv etc were epic
I remember playing this back in the 90's, easily one of the finest video arcade games ever made.
Spent many hours and probably too much money on this at the arcade! Felt fantastic just to get to Rocksteady or Bebop. And to see this completed in just 25 mins puts it all into perspective,
Pocket full of quarters lol
Chuck E Cheese 90's was the shit because of this game.
Brice Bennett walmart entrance, left unattended, was the shit
So was Disney World!
the line to play this at Chucks was unreal ... but very worth it
Hell yes😁😁
With TMNT, X Men, The Simpsons, Mystic Warriors and Sunset Riders Konami were the undisputed 4 player arcade beat em up and shoot em up kings...
The Best one Ever and I've played all the TURTLE GAMES!
A detail I always loved as a kid was how ONLY the currently played characters would appear in the cutscenes rather than generically adding them all in .
Its the yr 2021, and I'm still watching this. I'm so glad that this is on fightcade!
I think I’m the only one who figured out where to stand during the helicopter highway chase sequence. At the white line, put your outter skateboard wheels right on the line, and the helicopters can’t hurt you. Just let the foot soldiers come to you and use the short jump attacks to beat them both. At the arcades, I’m the only one who made it through without getting hit once.
This arcade game's a classic!!! I used to save up a lot of quarters during the school week when I was in elementary back in '90 just to play this game. There were people waiting in line JUST to play this game. It was all competition back than and now ... it's not the same as it used to be or ever will be. The first NES game was disappointing as hell. But, there were massive improvements since the original game ...
Marc Amico I agree this was a good game back in the days. You can still retrieve this game from mame or kawaks on your pc its just like the arcade it is the arcade.
***** dude this game is frikin awesome, but what about contra and castlevania
+invanillasky , Crime Stoppers would like to have a word with you.
+FT Valkyrie Those are not arcade games. A big reason why huge arcades are no longer around is because those games used to be way better than any console could provide. They remained competitive by staying years ahead of consoles. Now with the power of these consoles and online gaming, kids will never experience anything like this.
FT Valkyrie , believe it or not, but Castlevania and Contra also had arcade ports, not only with the Play-Choice 10 machines, but also with stand alone titles as well, the former being AFTER it made its debut on the NES/FDS and the latter BEFORE it made its debut on the NES/FDS. Contra was still called the same game in the arcade (unless you were in Japan where it was called Gryzor or Probotector in Euriope for some weird reasons), but in the arcade, Castlevania was called Vampire Hunter (I think), but it was not a really good game.
Reminds me of my friend's 12th or so birthday party. His mom rented out a bally's arcade center for like 2 hours for just us friends and family. It was amazing. Every game was on free play during that time. LOTS of TMNT, Sunset Riders, Simpsons, and X-Men was played during those 2 hours.
i agree with you. There's nothing more nostalgic than plunking in quarter after quarter all for that chance to put Shredder in his place.
This video is the only one of the arcade game that gives an accurate picture of just how difficult the game was.
Its 2023 still i remember playing together with my brother evertime i remember this game its gives such a joy
This game set the bar for beat-em-ups back in the day. There was simply nothing like it.
Anyone remember being STUNNED by the sound quality and graphics of the arcade in this era? Maybe it was the NES game i played first? OR i just got used to it at home and went into the arcade and was floored by the difference, i do know i was keenly aware of how much better the arcade was.
I remember spending so many hours at the arcades playing this game, and 6 times as many quarters.
Me: "Dad, can I have a quarter"
Dad: "No".
Me: "Dad, can I have a quarter"
Dad: "No".
Me: "Dad, can I have a quarter"
Dad: "Ask me again, and we're going home"
Me: "Dad, can I have... sir can I have a quarter"
can I have a quarter?
no
can I have a quarter?
no
can I have a quarter?
no, if you ask me again I'll slap you
will you slap me in public?
no.
can I have a quarter?
BLKBRDSR71 god, 6 dollars worth of quarters was what it took me to beat this game
Dad: Well when you put it that way...
Damn you Uncle Phil you took so much of my allowance back in the day...lol
My GOD!!!! That "Winners Don't Use Druge" ad, the GHW Bush era! 1989/1990, I was 12/13, almost every Friday and/or Saturday night, at the Cherryland Mall in Traverse City, Michigan, at Aladdin's Castle. I was ALWAYS Donatello, playing with 3 strangers, while a huge group stood around us, watching us play, anxiously awaiting the moment one of us would run out of quarters. I NEVER ran out. Hearing Rocksteady say "Say ya prayers, turtles" in that exaggerated New York accent, hearing the high notes of the boss music play while we furiously stabbed, kicked, jabbed, and swung our weapons to beat the ever living fuck out of the bosses....we could only hear the higher notes, because they usually had Motley Crue or Skid Row blaring in the arcade, along with the video game music. Such a glorious symphony of sound effects and music,.such awesome memories!!!!!!!! GOD, I miss that time!!!!!
Me and my cousin played this everytime before seeing a movie with Grandma. Good times
I remember the local laundromat down the street had the arcade machine. I spent so many quarters on this game. I miss the 90s.
This is SO HUGE when it was new. Wherever there was an arcade machine this was there. AND it was and is very creative for what it is, the Level designs and music. It was fun.
This and X-men.
And The Simpsons
This game has aged so well. The graphics still look crisp and stunning, the animations are top-notch, and it's good, button-mashing fun.
state of the art you crazy gringo
So many quarters have I lost to this game....
Me too :)
Don’t think of them as lost, you put those quarters to good use playing such an excellent game like this
True
The Gameplay the setup of how the players fit the screen in comparison to everything on the screen it was PERFECT!
Even the sound effects brings back tears.
This game and afterburner pretty much summed up my entire arcade experience...lol
This compared to the NES version is like comparing the PS1 to PS3. HUGE difference!
Didn't grew up as much of a TMNT fan, but this game was one of my favorite arcade games as a kid and growing up. Will always be one of my favorites despite dying so early like a total noob. XD

For an arcade game that came out in 1989, it has a high-quality rendition of the cartoon theme song.
It was like being able to play the cartoon in real-time. Very special ability the coin-op arcades gave us when cartoons of the 80s and 90s were using them to promote the brands 💯
Ain't nothing like old games like these bring back old memories of old stinky socks and cheap pizza!
Oh my childhood. I remember playing this at hills and spending dozens of quarters on bebop.
Bebop tore you guys a new one lol
Game: We gotta find the Technodrome!
Me: Uh... you're IN the Technodrome...
Game: Mission complete!
Lol
I used to think the same thing!
Man, this brings back so many memories of that great decade called the 90's! Used to play this massively at Chuck e Cheese!
Classic awesome game. Thank you for uploading this video. I've got this game on my smartphone and tablet. Emulator versions can't beat the original classic.

This was the best 4 player I have seen bravo. None of that lonely noob playing by himself 4 player shit
even to this day, this game still looks awesome
The Nintendo version was one of the greatest disappointments of my life. But I still played it for hours on end, cause my mother hated waiting for me in the arcade.
Oh man, I remember playing this on arcade so many times. I looooved it but could never finish it. Just didn't have enough money lol.
The good old days.
Finally 4 real players and not just one guy playing all 4 turtles
Rafael with the fewest lives. Fella with the shortest range was the secret weapon all along!
When I was six and I knew very little about the 80's turtles I always thought the foot soldiers were power rangers.
Lol
I have a very distinct memory of seeing this on the top of the mountain on a miniature golf course, inside an ice cream parlor. I was probably 5. It was the most amazing thing I had seen at the time.
Even today, the fire in the foreground of the opening stage really stands out in a good way. Hard to believe that the game is just about 30 years old.
This game was the best.... I remember playing it every time my mom took me to the grocery store I’d play while she shopped.
When i was kids i use to play this game at the arcade. It brought back some good memory. Pizze taste real good.
I absolutely love this arcade game I actually used to have a vintage 1989 arcade machine except I could only play as Leonardo and Michelangelo. There wasn’t any purple or red buttons or joysticks. Which bummed me out because Raphael was always my favorite ninja turtle. My favorite boss was also facing Kraang. His android body looks quite intimidating in this game.
this really takes me back to coming home from school
The final battle is a lot less methodical when you have 4 turtles and 5 Shredders all over the place.
I keep having reoccurring dreams about the arcade and this game in particular.
I just bought battle nexus for my xbox with the full intention of unlocking this game
very nice. and the cool part is that the unlockable arcade game is based off an early version since it has some slight visual changes (i.e. a different look for April when she appears on the TV screen, and a harmless gator in the sewer)
This is how is made a beat em up, god damn it!
Take a note Scott Pilgrim vs The world, and every Beat em up with RPG elements.
+The Nightwatcher , Castle Crashers said hello by the way, hipster elitist douchebag.

4 people playing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, 1989 from Konami. This video was captured from the original arcade board using a supergun.
(For the people who read comments, but not the description, such as through the mobile app).
I forgot how smooth the arcade game played compared to the NES version. Cool stuff!
I grew playing the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles arcade game. I haven't played this since 1999. This installment included a "II" in the title when released on the NES for continuity purposes on that console.
This game made me addicted to video games. Such good memories along with double dragon, Simpsons, xmen et c. But this was my fav
Every time I saw this in a store, restaurant or wherever I HAD to play it. Thank God they ported it to the NES. It wasn't as good with the limited hardware. But, it was still fun.
