Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1989) was the first TMNT game on the NES — and it was a phenomenon. Published by Ultra Games (Konami's subsidiary label), the game was a side-scrolling action platformer that let players switch between all four Turtles, each with different weapons and abilities. The game is infamous for its brutal difficulty — particularly the underwater dam level with its electrified seaweed, which traumatized an entire generation of NES players. Despite the difficulty, TMNT was one of the best-selling NES games of all time, driven by the massive popularity of the cartoon and toy line. Turtle Power was unstoppable in 1989 — the franchise dominated every form of media. This cartridge is a cornerstone of '80s gaming nostalgia. Cowabunga.
