![]() Too bad they didn’t have Turtles in Time as well but this definitely brought back memories. I hadn’t played it in well over 25 years. I almost fell over when we spotted the original Ninja Turtles arcade game. Bought the last two DVD sets in early 2013 Taken on December 20, 2017Ībout a week ago, my girlfriend took me to this arcade pub in her hometown. Not to mention the set contained a whopping 39 episodes. The design on Season Four was my personal favorite thanks to Raph’s gorgeous face protruding out of the cover. The Turtles became a cultural phenomenon by the early ’90s. They were everywhere you looked. Oh, the memories… I loved my Rat King toy I also had a soft spot for Mutagen Man Remember playing with the sticky green ooze? Super Shredder was such a badass Fun fact: he was played by former WWF Champ, Diesel Big Daddy Cool! AKA Big Sexy AKA Kevin Nash Another fun fact: Shredder was voiced by James Avery Then came the movies. Not only was a cartoon series flourishing but soon came the toys and video games. Think about it… I love my exposition scenes when it’s done right Mutagen! The irony of ninjas and turtles. The original series ran from 1987-1996 and spawned a whopping 193 episodes. Who could ever forget that classic first episode? We learned about how the turtles came to be and the challenges that lay before them. It was a staple of many childhoods, and had kids glued to their television sets on Saturday mornings all across the world. The Ninja Turtles became a huge part of my childhood, and I can’t think of a better way to close out 2017 here on RVGFanatic than to honor the franchise that began (in cartoon form) 30 years ago today.Īny child who grew up in the late ’80s remembers the above all too well. I still remember watching the premier and being completely blown away. And of course, you know where this is going, it was 30 years ago today ( TO THE DAY) that the first cartoon episode of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles aired. It was also the year I discovered Godzilla and professional wrestling. 1987 was the year my uncle bought an 8-bit Nintendo for me and my brother. ![]() ![]() It was the year that my childhood pretty much began.
