for me this was a watershed moment in arcade games. TMNT was SUPER POPULAR when this cabinet hit arcades, every kid wanted to play it. This was the arcade that truly transitioned from classic score-chasing arcades (Ms Pac Man, Donkey Kong, Galaga etc) to quarter munching beat em ups (TMNT, Final Fight, Simpsons, Punisher). THe beat em ups would be killed off by Tournament Fighters (Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter 2, Tekken) and then eventually lame rail shooters and racers.
Where can I learn more about the "ranking system" in this game? I've been playing this game for decades and first I ever heard of that. Sounds interesting.

I recall this game being fantastic at the time, and I fondly remember going to a local dive bar with friends just so we could play it.
round table had this, the simpsons and area 51
This was such an awesome run to watch!
MAN, beating that whole arcade game on one life? Amazing.

He didn’t hit the Skateboard Lady. So I don’t think this run is valid.😉
I always want to, but it costs time 😉
I second that😄
sick run! GG LRock
LRock runs are always 10 out of 10.
I swear, I've learned more this GDQ than any prior. I didn't know performance and time affected this game's enemy spawns!
Well done Donatello

LAME Rail shooters? Im sorry, but House of the Dead was GREAT!
I remember playing this in both the arcade and the nes port. A classic
I put many many dollars into the TMNT arcade game back in 1990. Such a great game to play with three others. Good times
One of the funniest runs!
That some top tier commentary
18 min, that's amazing
Incredible :) Was definately worth the watch!!! Used to get my ass kicked in this game lol
Great run!
I remember playing this at a rest stop on the Jersey Turnpike late at night, I died very fast.
