There are many reasons why we should all be grateful for the 1980s: radical social, economic and political change; the revolution of the fashion industry; the invention of the Rubik’s Cube; George Lucas’ Star Wars; Madonna. For me, the mention of the 80s brings to mind Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Comic books, action figures, numerous animated television series, films, video games – you name it, these lean green fighting machines have done it.

Even now, 25 years after their conception, the turtles are still going strong. To celebrate the awesome foursome’s silver anniversary Ubisoft has released TMNT: Turtles in Time Re-Shelled, a PlayStation Network reincarnation of Konami’s 1991 coin-op Turtles in Time. Running at 720p with widescreen support, this long-awaited opportunity to relive those childhood memories of spending countless pennies at the arcades is one many won’t want to miss.
