Leonardo gets addicted to an arcade game called "Tempestra," and breaks into the arcade at night, just as Emilio Estevez does in "The Bishop of Battle" in 1983's anthology Nightmares. Both game's antagonists, Tempestra and the Bishop, share visual and vocal similarities. In both shows, the protagonist reaches the final level, and the game character comes to life, chasing him around the arcade, and chaos ensues.
It's a bit surprising that no one has noticed this before. Writers for the Ninja Turtles must have been fans of cheesy 80's horror anthologies.
