I picked up this game back in the early '90s when it came out. I was in middle school, the teenage mutant ninja turtles were big, and I was visiting relatives in the USA. What better game to add to my collection of gameboy games?


The plot is rather simple. If you've ever watched the (old) animated series, you know that April O'Neil is in trouble, Shredder and Krang are the evil doers and you must save the day!


In the game you go through several stages (six if I remember correctly), to save your friend, and you are given control of the turtles, so in total you've got four tries to finish the game.


The game play was not that hard when I was a kid, I imagine it would be easier now. I managed to finish the game within months of buying it -my batteries kept dying and I did not have backups - so my gaming was sporadic.


The replayability was so-so. If you felt like going back through the levels so you can face off with Rocksteady, Beebop and the gang, then you could be entertained hours on end, even if you had finished the game once. If on the other hand you felt like 'been there, done that' - then it wasn't all that replayable.


The game was great from the perspective of a middle schooler. Now I don't know if I would enjoy it as much today, if you exclude the nostalgia factor.
