The cartoony visuals compared greatly to the cartoon show, so we felt more comfortable giving this game a go. The intro scene with April O’Neal and Krang’s theft of the Statue of Liberty is still incredible to watch. All four turtles played the part perfectly as they bashed on Foot Clan Ninja’s all through different points in history. The music in this game is too hard to ignore (we love how the TMNT theme can be heard in a few of the stage themes). Plus, you gotta love the way those ninjas grabbed their crotches when you hit ’em.

Turtles in Time is, in our humble opinion, the greatest beat ’em up video game ever made.You may not be familiar with Winkysoft’s rather decent and zany “ Denjin Makai” series of scrolling beat’em ups. Like so many others they stubbornly remained Japan-only affairs, with both games (the titular “ Denji Makai” and the sequel “ Guardians”) sticking to Japanese arcades. But not all hope was lost, as Banpresto published a rather solid conversion for the Super Famicom, giving avid import gamers a chance to experience the action in the comfort of their homes. Yet like many other arcade-to-Super Nintendo ports, some concessions had to be made. The biggest lapse was the playable character roster.

In the arcade original you had a cast of six strange and wonderfully zany characters to pick from, but on the Super Famicom edition (rebranded “ Ghost Chaser Densei”) due to cartridge ROM size constraints that number was cut in half. Only the Ryu lookalike and titular Makai, the beast girl Iyo and the cyber-enhanced Belva made the cut for home use. Fortunately and unlike early Capcom ports, the two player mode was kept intact.
