Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time is originally
an arcade game produced by Konami in 1991. A sequel to the original Teenage Mutant
Ninja Turtles (TMNT) arcade game, it is a scrolling beat 'em up based on the 1987
TMNT animated series and the Archie Comics Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures.
Up to four players can take control of Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo, and
Raphael. As usual in the 1980s and 1990s TMNT games, Donatello has slower
attacks but a longer range, Michelangelo and Raphael have fast attacks but a
short range, and Leonardo is a well-rounded Turtle with average range and speed.
In addition to this, each Turtle has a special attack, an idea introduced in the
previous console game, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III: The Manhattan Project.
New features in this game include the ability to make a power-attack by hitting an enemy
several times in a row, and the ability to grab Foot Soldiers and either use them as
weapons to attack surrounding enemies or to throw them out of the game, towards the camera.
The controls are fairly straightforward. The eight-way joystick controls the movements
of the Turtle, the jump button makes them jump, and the attack button makes them hit in
front of them using their weapon. In addition to this, some combinations are possible.
By using the joystick in conjunction with one of the two buttons, or by pressing both buttons
in succession or at once, the player can make the Turtle run, perform a slide or dash attack,
jump higher, perform a stationary or directed air attack, or perform his special attack.
