    A good collection of games, a bad selection of video options. I don't consider myself too picky but there are no interpolation options leaving you stuck with hard edge nearest neighbour pixels. This would be fine except for the games not having consistent pixel sizes resulting in shimmering with motion. There are several filters to choose from but they're not filters so much as overlays. One adds scanlines, which is …

    Easily sets the standards for how retro compilations should be. Multiple region choices? Cheats? Rewinds for fixing mistakes? Guides? An entire playthru of each game to watch? Even small clips of certain tricks to do as examples? So much here, above and beyond the usual. The collections in the museum is top notch. Soundtracks. Game boxes. Game manuals. Arcade flyers. Ads. Comic book covers. TV show stills. Tons of …

  • [4]Steam user Steam user …2913Steam review · Feb 24, 2025 · Recommended

    So let me start off by saying that I paid under $15 for this game. At the full price of $40, I would not recommend it, even with all of the added features and extras. It's just too steep for a bunch of old games that can be finished in 30 minutes. The Cowabunga Collection ultimately succeeds because it answers the fundamental question that all of these compilations face -- "Why wouldn't I just play this on an …

    It has saves and rewinds so you and your deteriorated middle-aged reflexes can finally get past that terrible seaweed level! Let's be real, though, you're probably just here for Turtles in Time, particularly as quite a few of these other games either haven't aged well or weren't ever good in the first place (looking at you, Back From The Sewers).

  • [6]Steam user Steam user …5808Steam review · Dec 11, 2025 · Recommended

    It's buggy. It's a mess. It's an old-school port. It's over-priced. It's still fun. Good couch co-ops are hard to find and this one is one of the better ones. It does not add anything to the originals and it would have been nice if they would have put some effort into making them full screen, but does scratch the nostalgia itch. It does have controller support (using X-box controllers). Solid $15 game. 7 out of 10 …

89% of the 188 Steam reviewers we collected recommend Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection. The complaint that keeps coming up: overpriced at full retail price. Deal-breaker or nitpick?

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is a pretty simple game, but it features one screen where the game scrolls diagonally. By holding diagonally down-right and attacking, the scrolling can be broken, leading to being able to wall the boss out.....literally.

    You'd think a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game wouldn't be a sicko pick... but it's a wildly undersold, highly experimental turn-based scrolling brawler by Stange Scaffold, makers of Space Warlord Organ Trading Simulator. It manages to feel shockingly like TMNT arcade despite the genre shift.

    I'm 40 years old, and when Republicans start yelling about "communism" it just confuses me. I didn't grow up fearing the Soviet Union. It died when I was still watching Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoons. I figure they're communicating to really old people (which is bizarre since I feel extremely old). It's the equivalent of yelling at cavemen about saber tooth tigers.
