The Return of the awesome foursome!

Now two dudes or dudettes can join forces and double team Shredder™ and his Turtle terminators in a bid to save April™ and Splinter™. Take control of your favourite Turtle in this turtley awesome version of the Konami coin op.

THE STORY SO FAR

April O Neil is not only the best T.V. news reporter in town but also she's the only news reporter in New York that has been kidnapped by the evil* Foot Clan and lived to tell the tale (you did save her in Turtles didn’t you?). Not only that, but to prove just how individual she is, she’s been kidnapped by the foul Foot Clan yet again and only the hard-backed, half-shell heroes can save her? Or can they?

  • The Foot Clan are not a highly organised cartel of chinese chiropodists but in fact are expertly trained ninjitsu ne‘er-do-wells bound to the service of the evil Shredder.

HOW TO BE A HERO

The dateline is now, the place is New York and the player must choose their favourite Turtle with which to rescue the kidnapped April from a burning building infested with a carbuncle of foul Foot. Not only that but you’ve got to go on to find and defeat the shifty sidekicks BeBop and Rocksteady before going onto to take out Krang and finally confront Shredder at the Technodrome.
