I've played several of these fairly recently (TMNT Arcade, TMNT NES, TMNT II, TMNT IV, Fall of the Foot Clan), but I'm definitely still getting this collection. I've never been able to get into Tournament Fighters, but I've only played the Genesis version, so maybe the others are better? I've also wanted to play the other two Game Boy games for a while now.

TMNT III: The Manhattan Project (NES) and TMNT III: Radical Rescue (Game Boy) are the ones I am looking forward to revisit. I have them but when I was younger I feel like I didn't get as far with them (unless I used Game Genie). I also never got into the tournament fighters but looking forward to trying. I picked up TMNT: Fall of the Foot Clan (Game Boy) on Game Boy recently but haven't sat down and played it yet!

Of all the games I've played so far on the collection, Turtles in Time IV (SNES) is by far my favorite.

Least favorites:

TMNT 1 NES
TMNT 2 Back from the Sewers GBA

About to tackle Hyperstone Heist!

Nice!! I just picked up the collection so plan to give it a go soon. Hyperstone Heist is a fun one. That was my jam on Genesis as a kid but I think Turtles in Time was the more iconic one.

TMNT 1 on NES is a whole difference beast compared to the rest of them. When I was younger I just tried to mash my way through but you really can't. There's more strategy then I realized. I made a real attempt at it a couple years ago on my NES and got pretty far.
