Teenage mutant ninja/hero turtles board games

lilonardo · 08-02-2005, 03:03 AM

I am aware that there are 2 (classic) "Teenage mutant ninja turtles" Board games:

Pizza power game (American)
The power game (British)

I have seen pictures of both of them, and the pieces (especially the pizza slices) look different

are the 2 games both the same game with different looking pieces or are they 2 different games?

There is also a third game, TMNT and the Tower of Doom. Though I suppose you might not consider that to be a traditional board game, more in line with Mouse Trap or Mountain Climber in that it used 3D constructs in the game play. I don't know if it was ever available in the US, my copy came from Canada.

I'm almost positive the tower was released in the states.

The one with the marble turtles and all the swords, right?

That's the one. It may very well have been available here in the states. But in my Ebay trolling days I usually saw it show up from Canadian sellers and I don't recall ever seeing it as a kid.

Well, I live in Maine so it could have easily gotten over to me from there.

Just today I came across a board game called

Ready for Battle Game

It too is a vintage TMNT game but it seems to be made for a young audience. It was the first one I came across in my travels though! I bought it if you want photos. It is by RoseArt so I don't imagine it is that hard to find. It had an old Kmart price tag on it too!
