some games are better than you think
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’ll
be taking a look at 1992’s
all but forgotten arcade style beat him
up Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles the
hyperstone heist
based on the 80s cartoon series the
game’s plot begins with April O’Neil
reporting from Ellis Island there she
witnesses Manhattan Island and the
Statue of Liberty suddenly shrink and
disappear
shredder then announces over television
that this was only a demonstration of
his new powers granted by the hyperstone
from Dimension X which spreader yet
again set on taking over the world the
turtles must fight their way to their
nemesis and stop his latest plan
developed by Konami this lesser-known
Ninja Turtles action game is one of the
few to never appear as its own arcade
cabinet this is due to being exclusive
to the Sega Genesis while the insanely
popular fourth game turtles in time had
already been sucking up quarters for an
entire year and was simultaneously
released for the Super Nintendo 2
massive fanfare further taking away from
the game’s luster was the fact that it
was an obvious reworking of turtles in
time but with inferior colors and raspy
digitized sound effects which resulted
from the technical limitations of Sega’s
hardware
despite hyperstone heist featuring
similar gameplay it made several major
modifications these included having the
– maneuver assigned to a single button
while it eliminated your ability to
throw enemies at the screen it also
featured fewer levels however these 5
stages were longer and significantly
more difficult to complete due to its
much more aggressive and faster moving
enemies and breaking with other Ninja
Turtles games based on the 80s cartoon
series its prized fans by including
Tatsu shredders right-hand man from the
first two live-action film as a stage
boss despite gamers thinking that the
hyperstone heist was a simple clone it
has come to be recognized as its own
terrific Ninja Turtles adventure and one
of the best Genesis games to ever appear
on the platform
