Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Manhattan Missions

Dark, moody, and surprisingly mature, Manhattan Missions takes the Turtles into gritty territory. The city is under siege, Shredder’s back, and the atmosphere feels more Batman than Saturday morning cartoon. The combat’s smoother, the art’s sharper, and the story actually tries to be serious. Each turtle has distinct stats and fighting styles, giving the gameplay depth the earlier title lacked. It’s not perfect, but it’s easily one of the best DOS-era attempts to make mutant ninjas feel heroic—and human.
