Pretty Cool Game I Never Knew About Till Today!
I was one of those Nintendo fans who wouldn't have anything to do with anything Sega all those years back, but those days are behind me and thanks to emulation these days on PC I'm finding so many cool games I never knew existed from the days of yesteryear.
This is pretty much another version of Turtles in Time found on the Arcade and SNES. A sequel to the original TMNT ARCADE smash hit.
It's very much like Turtles In Time, but its no way the same game. starting off in this one in a sewer and taking on the foot, aliens and mousers till you reach Leather Head who has the stupid most lamest subtitles I've ever seen, in fact, all the boss' do.
You get through him and go surfing on hover boards to a badly named Ghost Ship, there is no ghostly activity of any kind but a few hundred more foot & rock soldiers. and then so on and so on...
The lame thing about the game is the dialog of the boss', but more importantly the reason I suspect this game wasn't as popular, is the fact that its pretty damn hard. You get about 5 lives, and you go through them pretty damn quick. I suppose with some practice you could master it, but the good thing about emulators is they come with the game genie built in, so after I turned on an infinite life code, I cruised through the game to see what else it had in store.
The boss' are Leather Head, Rock steady, Baxter Stockman, Krang and the Shredder, and the most notable boss I found was Tatsu! The Foot Clans #2 man from the movie actually made it to the game! Tho he looks more like Street Fighters Sagat in a Shinobi costume.
As I said, the levels are much different to that of Turtles In Time, the first two or 3 levels resemble ones in T.I.T but I can assure you nothing is exactly the same. Even the foot soldiers are different in this one. The Orange ones are normal, purple ones shoot ninja stars, grey/whitish have nun-chucks , silvery/white have knight sticks and can kind of block your attack a bit, yellow ones have archery bows, blue ones have swords, and the pinkish/red ones where cool that breath fire or something at you... there is a few more to find as well.
Overall, I actually liked it! Not often I do find a worthy SEGA GEN game that competes with the SNES versions. But this game overall isn't that bad, ya just need a game genie to keep ya self alive or else it's about as Bogus as laxative and prune juice pizza!

Overlooked
An awesome, awesome game that was overlooked due to the SNES game, Turtles in Time. Although its not as good as Turtles in Time, its certainly very, very good and worthy a purchase. The game does include a two-player mode, which is the best way to enjoy this game. You are limited to playing as the four turtles, Leonardo (Blue with katana/sword), Donatello (Purple with Bo), Michaelangelo (Orange with Nunchuck), and Rapheal (Red with Sai/Fork-like objects). A little more variety in the playable character department would be nice, adding Splinter or even Casey would be good. Story-wise, the game dosen't succeed, but seeing that its based on the American series, I can't complain. The game is all-around plain fun, although tedious at times. Fighting Krang is harder than defeating the final boss, and who would have guessed it, Shredder. As I said, its best enjoyed with two people. Its one of the best beat-em-ups I've ever played, and certainly the best for the Genesis. Worth a purchase? Yes, by all means. If you find it, it shouldn't be much, and it'll keep you occupied if you have a friend or family member near by.
