![]() The brainchild of Rare founders, Tim and Chris Stamper ( read my book), Battletoads was unleashed onto the public in June, 1991. I say ‘grown up’, using that as loosely as I can, because we all know now just how puerile Battletoads was. ![]() It was the summer of 1991 when I was first introduced to Battletoads, a more ‘grown up’ parody of TMNT. Watching kids cartoons, playing kids games and so on just didn’t interest mid-teenage me then (yes I was an idiot). I mean, I was fifteen/sixteen at the time, growing up, leaving school and preparing to enter the real world. ![]() Part of the reason why TMNT had slipped away from me in 1991 was due to something similar, but with a bit more of an edge. By the time 1991 rolled around, I had pretty much forgotten all about Leo, Mikey, Don and the other one, Bob I think. I watched some of the cartoon, played a couple of the games and somewhat enjoyed the first film… and then got bored and moved on pretty quickly. The whole TMNT phenomenon didn’t really grab me. I lost interest in them pretty quickly to be honest. Those four deadly weapon wielding reptiles were hugely popular and still kind of are today, I guess. Comic books, cartoons, action figures, games and even movies. Back in the late eighties and early nineties, those pesky Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were everywhere.
