TMNT vs. Turtles in Time

Like I said, controls aside, it's not awful, but I'd actually say it's much more been OVER-rated than vilified in recent years.

Fact is, the vast majority of people who played it can't finish it. Love it or hate it, most people can't beat it no matter how bad they want to. That's poor game design. The game has a ton of things wrong with it that makes it impossible to recommend to anyone who is NOT an obsessive TMNT fan. It's only "hard" because the controls aren't very good and the game itself gives you zero direction. Sure, those things were "just part of the experience" of playing games back then, but there's no need nowadays to pretend those problems don't exist, just because it's got the TMNT sticker on it. It's okay. But it's not great, and by no means "the only one worth playing" or whatever.
