The Return of the awesome foursome!
Now two dudes or dudettes can join forces and double team Shredder™ and his Turtle terminators in a bid to save April™ and Splinter™. Take control of your favourite Turtle in this turtley awesome version of the Konami coin op.
THE STORY SO FAR
April O Neil is not only the best T.V. news reporter in town but also she's the only news reporter in New York that has been kidnapped by the evil* Foot Clan and lived to tell the tale (you did save her in Turtles didn’t you?). Not only that, but to prove just how individual she is, she’s been kidnapped by the foul Foot Clan yet again and only the hard-backed, half-shell heroes can save her? Or can they?
- The Foot Clan are not a highly organised cartel of chinese chiropodists but in fact are expertly trained ninjitsu ne‘er-do-wells bound to the service of the evil Shredder.
HOW TO BE A HERO
The dateline is now, the place is New York and the player must choose their favourite Turtle with which to rescue the kidnapped April from a burning building infested with a carbuncle of foul Foot.

WHAT'S THE SECRET CODE DUDE?
After the game has loaded, you will be asked to enter a code before you can start playing. It's a four digit number and it’s located in the middle pages of this manual. Just find the right column and row given by the letter and a number shown on your computer screen and type in the four digit number that you find there. Now you must select your turtle and control method required for each player.

SPIN THAT STICK!
Pressing fire or fire with either left or right will make your turtle do one of three attacking moves - kick, jab, thrust. Pressing fire with up will make the turtle do a jump and a spin directly up in the air. Pressing fire with down will make the turtle do an upward jump and swipe simultaneously. Pressing fire with up/right or up/left will make the turtle do a flying jump kick. Just pressing up/down left/right will move the turtle around the screen.
# AMSTRAD CPC TAPE, SPECTRUM TAPE and CBM 64 TAPE
Turtles - the coin - op is a multi-load game. Before loading we recommend you set your tape counter to zero and then note the tape count whenever you start to load a new level. Sometimes the best computer will tell you to ‘rewind to level XX'. You should rewind to the relevant section of the tape (using the tape count) and then press PLAY on tape.
PIZZA
As with any turtle, if you pick up a pizza your energy is immediately replenished (an extra life is given on CBM 64). and these pizzas must be real tasty, because just one will put any of the boys right back up there on full power.
