Anyway, as much as I think the game is just mediocre, and how those underwater levels are incredibly frustrating with that unavoidable electric seaweed... I still find the music to be absolutely incredible. Like a lot of Konami's other work back then, they had very excellent chiptune composers producing tracks for their games. The composer for this game was Keizo Nakamura (Also known as Jigokuguruma Nakamura) who is known for his work with the Konami Kukeiha Club, working on soundtracks for such games as Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, and the NEC PC-Engine dating sim Tokimeki Memorial.
Enough about all that, though. We're here for the turtles! For this cover, I was lucky enough to find the source artwork (Originally illustrated by Michael Dooney) by itself in a fairly high resolution. You can find that source image here and the website it came from here.
Even though this is a Konami game... due to Nintendo's restrictions on publishers Konami had to publish it under their Ultra Games label. So, I initially decided to make two versions, one with the Ultra Games logo and one with the Konami logo. Then I also decided to make a few more versions one with the Nintendo seal of quality, and one without any logo. There's also three different versions of what I wanted to put in the bottom right corner... including one with nothing there. So, for each logo in the bottom left, there's three different versions, and for the one without any logo in the bottom left, there's three different versions. That means there's 12 different slight variations on this cover for you to choose from (including one that only has the turtles logo at the top). Pick whichever version you like the most!
I've also uploaded a zip file with all of the different versions, as well as the original Photoshop document I used to edit it all together. You can find that here.
