Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time is basically an update of Konami's
first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles video game. Gamers get the same four characters,
the same four weapons, and the same enemies (along with some new ones).

The word to think about when playing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time
is "improvement." This game is much better than the first incarnation. The graphics are
better, the sound is better and the action is better.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time is a little less innovative than its
predecessor, but that's okay. The graphics, sound, and action more than make up for the
loss of some experiments in the first game. In the first game, the action was a mix of side-
scrolling punch and kick action with some (vaguely) 3-D action and some split-level
(upstairs and downstairs) action thrown in. Those tiny experiments are gone in {*Teenage
Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time}. Konami chose to move into a
straightforward side-scrolling game. With the improvements they made, that's just fine.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time is challenging. Serious gamers ought to
realize that they are not going to run through this game -- start to finish -- without
plopping more tokens (or quarters) into the credit slots. Even practiced players may have
to recharge during fights with some of the "boss" characters in the game.

Overall, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time is a fun game to play,
especially if you're a gamer who enjoyed the Turtles' first video game outing. {*Teenage
Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time} captures the Turtles as they were on their way
down from an amazing popularity rush in the late 1980s. The Turtles and their video
games may not ever reach cultural icon status like Bugs Bunny or Mario, but
they will be remembered by the children of the late 80s. ~ Anthony Baize, All Game Guide
