Episode 470: TMNT - Shredder's Revenge

Added 2022-07-18 12:00:01 +0000 UTC

Shredder's Revenge feels like a bit of a fever dream, don't you think? The TMNT game we've all been wanting since the mid-nineties, but for some reason never received, despite a few weak attempts in the likes of Turtles in Time Re-Shelled and Arcade Attack. But it's here now, it's happened, and, in this episode, host Stuart Gipp and delightful guest (and TMNT fan) Joe Modzeleski of Limited Run Games set aside an hour or so to absolutely gush about it from the heart.

Additionally, there's an interview between Gipp (that's me) and the lead designer of Shredder's Revenge, Mr. Frédéric Gémus—and, if I dare say so myself, it came out rather well! So you've got a bit of a turtle twofer on your hands, and we've all got an absolutely brilliant TMNT game on all formats that finally fulfills those childhood dreams. Oh, spoiler, yeah, we thought it was good. Cheers.
