Found Something Promoting Turtles in Time

[DonatelloDomeHead31]

Did a google search and found a very interesting picture of the 4 turtles, helping to promote Turtles in Time for the Arcade/SNES:

Donatello represents Prehistoric Turtlesaurus
Michelangelo represents Skull and Crossbones
Raphael represents Bury My Shell at Wounded Knee
Leonardo represents Neon Night-Riders AND/OR StarBase: Where No Turtle has Gone Before

Comment on this image or state your favorite level: Mine was StarBase cause of the music.

I use to have a poster of that pic got it out of a Nintendo mag.

pretty Cool, I do recognize the drawing style for Turtles in Time. Same artist who did the cover piece (although I have no idea who it is)
Was that the biggest you could find?

This image ran in video game magazines as an advertisement.

Here's the full add:

You just saved me a lot of effort.

Man, I love those old videogame ads.

It reminds you a time when gaming was simpler and beating a game only took 20 minutes. lol.

yeah i love those ads. Plus the shameless promotions are hilarious. those guys at Konami ARE awesome.

[Cure]

I've never seen that before. It's pretty cool. It's funny how Donnie is the one to get dumbed down to a cave man, haha.

[Powder]

I had seen the picture in the first post but never the other ads. Those are sick! I wish I could commission the dude who did the art, his style was always a favorite look of mine.

[Archon_Turtle]

i love how expressive their eyes are.

[BoggleKng]

anyone have any idea who the artist is/was?

[discordiatookie]

They ads are awesome.

I love the boss bit where you have to chuck Foot towards the screen to hit Shredder. Genius.

[Samhain]

I love the art on these ads. Simply old school.

[Luzmagica]

I like that draw.., love Michelangelo as a pirate ... just comment ...maybe Donatello will be best as the space-turtle, Raphael the cave-man, and Leonardo as far-west turtle.......:P:lol::twink: ...Whats your opinion???

Hmmm, I'll say that Donatello would be best suited as the astronaut. But my favorite one from the ad is Michelangelo for sure. I also think the turtles from the ad would make great tattoo work.

My favorite level though is NEON NIGHT RIDERS! Man, that level is perfect and the music is just the icing on the cake.

Everytime I see this ad I just HAVE to play turtles in time :lol:

[DonatelloDomeHead31]

If you want to talk about favorite music from Turtles in Time, i always remember the Starbase level music and the Versus music. The way the drums hit the beat during the course of the level are perfect.

And I stand on my case about Slash: the only enemy that I dislike in this game--a very tough boss to face.

[TuЯco]

ive seen this in an x men comic. and leonardo is definatly the coolest one in this ad. i wish there was just a picture of leo.

[Ninjinister]

I remember these. They sure don't make ads like this anymore. Y'know, ones where the advertisement in a magazine or comic could get you just as excited as the game it's advertising. I can't remember the last time that happened for me.

Never noticed how much a tweaker Donatello looked in this before!

[Donnie]

The Hyperstone Heist rocked! I still play it occasionally.

...Sword Slicin', what in the world is a "tweaker?"

[Sword Slicin' Leo]

a tweaker is like a junkie,a functioning junkie..

and yes Hyperstone was cool, i had SNEs and my freind had SEga,so we'd trade

The Turtles in Time turtles poster--the turtles look like plush toys someone won at a carnival booth. :lol:

One side note: Cement Man & Slash--who was tougher? Need I ask more :D

In that pic Don looks like he's pretending his bo is a guitar and he's flipping off the audience during a ripping solo.

Yes, that was a nice touch. Definitely one of the better upgrades over the arcade version.
