Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection review — It’s still time for turtles

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II for NES is one of the earliest games I can ever remember playing. That first level set in a burning apartment building — and the inexplicably smooth boulders that roll down those stairs — are forever ingrained into my brain.

My nostalgia extends to all of the TMNT beat-’em-ups from the 8-bit and 16-bit eras. Heck, I think that Turtles in Time was as synonymous with the Super Nintendo as Super Mario World for a lot of kids.
