I’ve got a bad feeling about today’s ScribbleTaku. It’s way too easy. WAY TOO EASY. Yesterday’s, on the other hand, was way too hard. I think I’ll leave it DrCurlytek to explain it himself in the comments…
ScribbleTaku is Kotaku’s newest lunchtime game. We give ourselves 30 seconds to draw an old game on a sticky note, and it’s your job to guess what it is! Come back every day at noon for a new ScribbleTaku! Feel like sending one in? Shoot me an email here.
Got a Gryzor/Contra vibe going on.
Yesterday's was Amidar (or Amigo, which is the bootleg version):

As I said, I got cherries mixed up with bananas (my memory fails me, constantly), but maybe this 1981/2 arcade game was a bit early for many Kotakians! Or, if you prefer, feel free to berate my poor drawing skills.

TMNT: British version on the NES.
Weren't they called Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles in Britain because authorities thought the word "ninja" would make children flip out and kill people.
I think you're right. At least I think this version of the game was actually called Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles. (if it is in fact the game I am thinking of).
I refuse to ever call it that lol
