Introduction from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Manhattan Missions.
Unlike most TMNT games published by Konami during early 90's, this game was developed by American team. In addition, Manhattan Missions is mostly based on the original Mirage comics and the first movie instead of the old cartoon.
In general lot of content are derived from various sources, including possibly even old pen and paper RPG (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Other Strangeness) published by Palladium.
Published only for IBM and compatibles, this is relatively obscure title, although it has several interesting ideas including minor RPG elements (defeated opponents improve attributes of chosen turtle).
These clips were taken using DOSBox 0.72 with emulated soundcard being Sound Blaster 16. The other two clips are:

EDIT: As a minor correction, the team was apparently actually Canadian.
I grew up on the old 80's turtles but never new about this game till tonight..It looks nice! I like how they combine the movie & cartoon.very cool,,POST MORE!!!!!!!!!!
It's based on the original Black and White comics. This is almost exactly the same as the opening scenes of the first issue. The panels, the text, they really did a great job of recreating it.
The game itself even have characters from the comics like the Triceratons. They did add elements from old cartoon though like April being a reporter, Baxter Stockman being white and Bebop & Rocksteady etc. You gotta give it to Konami, they meshed all the TMNT universes well in the old days.
This looks like it was pretty fun. Never seen it before now.
