TCRI (or TGRI in the movie) was the company responsible for the mutagen in the TV show, it was Shredder's invention. At the Parking Lot scene, there is a van that has the logo of TCRI. The opening scene is a mix between a scene in the TV show in which a building is raided by the TMNT to find for the first time the Technodrome and a scene of the comic book in which Shredder sets fire to April's building when he finds she's harboring the turtles (that scene was also taken for the movie). However, it contains some references to the original comic book. This game is mainly based in the first 5 episode mini-series.

Two years later, the series went on full production and was aired on CBS stations from 1989 to 1996 (with brief hiatus in 1993-1994).

The whole idea for the comic book (which was originally published in Black and White) came from the nickname 'Ninja Turtle' that one of the creators had when they were young. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were created by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird in 1984 and published by Mirage Studios. This game is known in Japan as 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - Super Kame Ninja'. This is because the Conservative British government of the time wouldn't allow ANY 'children's product' to include the word 'ninja' at any point during its content, arguing that to do so would encourage the children of this fine country to use violence against each other. The UK title for this game (as well as both the comics and cartoon series), 'Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles', replaced the original 'ninja' of the title with the less threatening 'Hero'. The game also featured a 'buy-in' option, meaning that new players could join in at any time.
