A very good collection of great and not so great best em ups and fighters. I'm genuinely surprised that every game from that era is present and accounted for. Even the Gameboy ones are a nice little treat, if somewhat basic.

Turtles in Time is the main event here, with some of the NES titles being surprisingly good, particularly the arcade conversions. I've only played the SNES version of tournament fighters so far but I did not enjoy it. Maybe the Megadrive might be better for once? Hopefully.

The extras were pretty neat, even showing stills from the cartoons. I must've dropped off turtles sooner than I thought when I was a kid, because I don't remember any of it past season 3. The magazine ads for the games were a nice touch as well. Very nostalgic.

Overall a great package and actually better than expected. Content wise, probably the best Konami compilation to date.
