Hello everyone, welcome to todays video! Within today’s video, we are going to be taking a look at the original ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ and recreating the marketing graphic for the video game. This will mark the third episode of a series that I will be creating on the channel, this would involve looking at various retro games and improving the marketing graphics for each of the retro games that I play through.
My first impressions of the game were rather positive, with the basis of the game appearing simple, alongside the engaging music in the background. It was far more unusual to the games that I am used to! This video game is also a platform based game where you need to take on different hostiles and try to progress along the different levels.
My favourite part about this game has to be how you can play as each of the 4 turtles and each one has so many lives, it is always incredibly useful to know that you have other turtles ready in case you die.
Another part about this game that i liked was that it appeared to be rather large and contain plenty of different levels that can be played. This immediately shows how the audience would be engaged with the game and want to progress on to try and take on more and more levels.
After gaining an idea of the game, I was able to conduct some research into the marketing material that was utilised to advertise the game upon release. This then enabled me to Recreate the marketing materials and make them look better, using more modern editing programmes like Photoshop. Whilst designing the front cover for this game, i had come to the conclusion that i wanted to include some of the actual characters that are within the game. Therefore demonstrating part of the gameplay for the target audience.
I hope you all enjoyed todays video, I have really enjoyed editing and recording it. Feel free to comment down below any retro games that you would like to see me recreate marketing materials for. Thank you very much for watching!!
