This action game challenges you to rescue April and Splinter, switching between top-down exploration and side-scrolling combat.

The DOS version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Arcade Game was released in 1990 by Konami/Ultra Games, while the original arcade game was released in 1989.

About Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Konami released Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as an arcade title, capitalizing on the animated series' widespread appeal. The core objective involves the four turtles rescuing their friend April O'Neil after her capture by Shredder and his henchmen, Bebop and Rocksteady.

Its design resembles a streamlined beat 'em up, where players confront waves of Foot Soldiers. While many standard foes are easy to defeat, others wield weapons like knives or ray guns, making them more challenging. The action progresses through levels culminating in boss confrontations, which sometimes feature paired adversaries.

The journey to the final showdown with Shredder includes battles against several antagonists from the franchise. These include the mad scientist Baxter Stockman, General Traag, and the alien entity Krang. A home console adaptation for the NES introduced exclusive material, such as new stages, additional enemy types, extra bosses, and more music tracks.

Multiplayer support varies by version, allowing between two and four participants to join the cooperative fighting. This version was marketed in Western territories as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Arcade Game.
