With April O'Neil held hostage by The Shredder's thugs, Bebop and Rocksteady, once again, it's up to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to come to her rescue! Play as all four of the turtle heroes, rescue April, and then rescue your sensei Splinter from The Shredder's clutches deep in the bowels of The Technodrome itself.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is an action game based on the late eighties/early nineties cartoon series of the same name. Play as Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello and Raphael (one turtle only, but the ability to swap between turtles at any time) as you save your friends and battle The Shredder and his cronies. There are no 'lives', as such - when you lose a turtle, he becomes 'captured', and you cannot use him again until you rescue him from a place hidden in the overworld.

Gameplay takes place in two perspectives: a top-down view, which lets you run around and explore buildings, sewers and other places. When entering places from the top-down view, the perspective shifts to a side-scrolling view, where most of the battling takes place. In addition to each turtle's main weapon, sub-weapons (such as shuriken) can be acquired, to use at foes - these have a limited use. - c/o MobyGames.com

Commonly known as "Mega-Ten" by fans, this game is based upon Megami Tensei, the first volume of the Japanese horror novel series Digital Devil Story, and dedicates a large part of the game to dungeon crawling.

Battletoads is a video game created by Rare Ltd. to rival the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles games.[1] The first game was released for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1991 and then ported to the Amiga in 1992, Sega Mega Drive/Genesis and Sega Game Gear both in 1993, and Amiga CD32 in 1994.

It is arguably one of the most graphically advanced video games for the NES, at a time when the video game market was turning to the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis and Super Nintendo Entertainment System.

The game became famous for its extravagant difficulty and humorous ways of defeating enemies, as the characters possess the ability to transform parts of their body into gigantic, exaggerated appendages for devastating attacks and comic effect.

Digital Devil Story: Megami Tensei OVA (1987)

Overall: 7/10

Believe it or not, I didn't discover this anime until I began to process the NES OST for it. Then, when I learned it had an anime, I figured it was worth a look. I became bummed however when I discovered that the 1st OVA was never released in the U.S. There aren't even any signs of a HK bootleg version. So, you'd have to get it shipped from Japan! This OVA, as most animes are, was derived from the manga which spawned a franchise consisting of video games, animes, and spin-offs bka MegaTen.
This OVA had many unexplained phenomenons and the overall story could be confusing if you don't already know the theme and basis for it. It centralizes around Greek mythology and a Japanese computer hacker's desire to bring Loki into our world. He believes Loki can defend him or give him power against a school bully. This, of course, backfires when the boy realizes Loki is a greedy bastard who is just using him. Then more phenomena arises out of this situation and... well... you'll have to see it for yourself :P

Interesting points
* For the year it was made (1987), this was a very bloody and dark anime. Definitely rated R!
* In one scene, 2 possessed schoolboys hold a schoolgirl upside down, one on each leg, while a possessed schoolgirl bites her in the crotch!
* This is the first OVA I've seen with a cliffhanger ending. Kinda strange since there was no preordained sequel.
* The box art for this OVA and the NES game are identical
* The Persona video game series is a spin-off of this.
* The Japanese DVD is listed under Tokuma Anime Collection... no idea why
* To buy the DVD from Japan would cost anywhere from $30-$60
* I got lucky and found a shitty VHS fansub, then a couple days later, I found a HQDVDRip fansub!!!
