These are the classic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles arcade and console beat-em-ups that Konami built in the early 1990s, the games that turned the cartoon's four pizza-loving turtles into one of the genre's defining co-op experiences. Titles like The Arcade Game and Turtles in Time let two or more players brawl side by side through waves of Foot Soldiers toward Shredder.
The formula was simple and durable: bright character sprites, snappy combat and a relentless sense of momentum. Tournament Fighters broke from the pattern with a one-on-one fighter, but the side-scrolling brawlers are what people remember. This grouping is games only, and it captures a specific moment when a licensed property produced some of the most fondly remembered arcade action of its time.
The Classic TMNT Beat-'em-ups franchise spans 5 games in the CrossBinge catalog.
