Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Fall of the Foot Clan (GB)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Fall of the Foot Clan was released for Game Boy in 1990, the same year that the live action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie was released to theatres. So while the Heroes in a Half Shell were still riding high in the cultural zeitgeist, this is right around the time that…
Ganbare Goemon! Karakuri Dōchū (Famicom)
