Retro Rewind – Battletoads

Battletoads was released by Rare in 1991 and ported to multiple game systems through 1992, 1993 and 1994. Aspects of the game that led to its popularity were its often clever and inventive ways of eliminating opponents, temptations to take out your partner and the cult status of the game’s difficulty. The game also inspired a cartoon series in 1992 developed by DIC Entertainment about a group of teenagers that were chosen to turn into the legendary Battletoads and save the Princess from the Dark Queen. Unfortunately, the pilot of this series was never picked up and the series never extended.
