A collectible piece of history that humbled a whole generation of Turtle fans.

Before Turtles in Time, before the arcade port owned every sleepover, before TMNT became full-blown lunchbox, cereal, movie, and toy aisle takeover, there was this cartridge.

The 1989 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles NES game was weird, tough, and completely unforgettable. The overworld map. The turtle-swapping. The Foot Clan chaos. That underwater bomb level that still gets brought up like unfinished business. It wasn’t the cleanest Turtles game, and it definitely wasn’t the easiest. That’s why people remember it.

This cartridge is signed by Kevin Eastman, co-creator of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles with Peter Laird and one of the original hands behind the whole sewer-born universe. That turns this from a nostalgic NES cart into something with a direct line back to where TMNT actually started.

Includes COA. A deep-cut piece for the person who remembers getting absolutely worked by this game and still coming back for more the next day.
