The recent news of a remake of TMNT: Turtles in Time has us all shell-shocked here at Co-Optimus.  Turtles in Time may be the greatest Turtles game, but it wasn't the first co-op TMNT title.  That honor belongs to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Arcade Game.  It was first released in arcades in 1989, and ported to the NES a year later as TMNT II: The Arcade Game.  Back in 2007, the game hit Xbox Live Arcade, this time called TMNT 1989 Classic Arcade.  For Co-Op Classics this week, we'll kick some shell and take a look at this version of the game.

I spent oh-so many quarters from my allowance on this game at the neighborhood roller rink growing up. I remember being excited when it hit the NES, but it wasnt anywhere near as good as the original arcade version.

My wife and I downloaded this game to play it with friends online. We found out that it has local co-op and online co-op...but no shared screen online (a la Bomberman, Castle Crashers, etc). Such a shame. Otherwise, great game!

I still have TMNT 3 for the NES. Sadly my NES no longer works.
