Wow I had no idea that the comic book goes back to the 70's. It's funny how when you see the show on TV you just scoff at it as some boring business man's idea to one up Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. But when you do further research the creation takes on dimension. Turns out it was made to one up Star Wars more than TMNT. Of course to be fair the 70's and early 80's comic never would have achieved anywhere near 13 episodes if it hadn't been for TMNT.
I've always wondered why Konami made an arcade game. I've never got to play it in the arcade, but what I do find interesting is how the Wikipedia article states how the game was meant to compensate for a season 2.
I'll have to import the UK DVD's for this show. It should be good for nostalgia.
