Everyone was trying to get on the Street Fighter 2 craze and bringing out their own fighting game. Konami was no different as they brought out three different TMNT fighting games for the mega drive, SNES and NES. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Tournament Fighters.

Time to get my brother, Phil, back on the show. This week we are playing a game from his childhood, Michael Jackson's Moonwalker. A weird film, a weird game.
