The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise rarely had a miss with games back in the '80s and '90s and this compilation exemplifies that. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection is a love letter to fans of that era that can be equally appreciated by old and new generations of Turtles fans alike.

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles : The Cowabunga Collection compiles the best TMNT games from the 80s and 90s into one convenient package. The included enhancement options help to alleviate some of the inherent issues from past hardware, but it could have given the Green Team a little more love to really push this over the edge. Either way, this collection carries nostalgia in spades and gives newcomers and fans alike another chance to don their bandanas and take it to the Foot Clan.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection is lean, green and totally not mean. This is a wonderfully thorough compilation of the glory days of 8 and 16-bit Turtles beat 'em ups. There's thirteen games here, covering everything you could possibly want from the glory days of TMNT side-scrolling action, alongside an exhaustive array of extras that goes above and beyond what we've seen from most retro compilations of late. Turtles fans and beat 'em aficionados, get that pepperoni pizza order in, kick back and prepare to relive some of the true greats of the late 80s/early 90s era. Ove...

With the amount of care put in by Digital Eclipse, this is one of the best ways these games have been presented since they were released.

The final online multiplayer game is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters for the SNES, a 1993 one-on-one fighting game that was a great option for those who had exhausted their time with the likes of Street Fighter II and Mortal Kombat, and remains an engaging experience to this day. The Cowabunga Collection also includes the Genesis and NES versions of Tournament Fighters for those that want them, which may be useful for those interested in the difference between the console versions. The NES version is an interesting curio, showing just how much developers could squeeze out of ...

Preserving licensed games is a noble endeavor, and Digital Eclipse are the best in the business, but many of The Cowabunga Collection's inclusions are best left in the '90s.
