As a kid, I used to think of this as the "Ooooooohhhhh!" game, because at the start of every level, all of the player characters say "Ooooooohhhhh!" in unison

Video clip from "The King of Dragons". The three player characters (a fighter, a cleric, and a dwarf) raise their weapons in a castle courtyard and bellow out a simultaneous cry (which sounds like "Ooooooohhhhh!").

The characters also say "Ooooooohhhhh!" when you level up. For maximum immersion while playing, be sure to also shout "Ooooooohhhhh!" out loud whenever this happens

Video clip from "The King of Dragons". The three player characters (a fighter, a cleric, and a dwarf) fight slime enemies in a large cave. As each character levels up, they raise their respective weapon and shout "Ooooooohhhhh!".

I love these late 80's/early 90's cabinets with the oversized control areas that almost look and feel like a tabletop; it drives home the communal aspect of arcade games, while also giving a lot of real estate for cool artwork

After you beat Bebop and Rocksteady in the parking garage level and rescue April, she gives a kiss to the turtle that has the highest score up to that point. Michelangelo does a cool pose in the background, meanwhile

GIf from "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", depicting a cutscene in which April O'Neil gives a kiss to Donatello for saving her.

There's a single frame of animation where you can see the "generic turtle sprite" that's used for this cutscene; the colored headband is then "painted on" for the correct turtle. Movie magic, folks!

The deluxe 2-monitor/6-player cabinet is so huge. I remember thinking as a kid that the entire cabinet was "filled with computers", thus making this the most-power arcade game by several magnitudes in my local amusement park arcade

The music in the second level of the game features a dude saying "Ecks-ecks-ecks-ecks-X-MEN" over and over, punctuated by another dude saying "C'mon" occasionally

Thanks for clearing that up, Magneto

Video clip from "X-Men". Magneto bursts through a brick wall and says, "I am Magneto, master of magnet... ha ha ha ha ha!".

"Dead Angle" is brought to you by the same developer behind "Dynamite Duke", who, by this point, had cornered the market on "games starring a semi-or-fully-transparent protagonist"

Image from "Dead Angle". The protagonist, an unnamed man, is seen. Or rather, his outline is seen- throughout the entire game, you only see a yellow outline of the man, and only of his upper body, at that.

This is unrelated but in the prequel, "Empire City: 1931", you can literally deflect bullets with your forearm if you time it right

Gif from "Empire City: 1931" (gameplay, 2D pixel graphics, first-person perspective). A man shoots at the player from inside an open window in a tall building. The player (miraculously) deflects the bullet with their forearm (overlaid over the first-person view).

Even more unrelated, in Brian De Palma's "The Untouchables", Al Capone is played by Robert De Niro. Famously, De Palma had Bob Hoskins on call to play Capone if De Niro couldn't fill the role. Looking back at De Niro as Capone in the film, though, he looks exactly like Bob Hoskins. They Hoskins-ified De Niro. Interesting

An image of actor Bob Hoskins.
