Episode Notes:
1. The footage is from the Mega SG. The sound portion captured on real hardware.
2. I own Turtles in Time for the Japanese Super Famicom. It curiously had artwork on it similar to the PAL Mega Drive edition.
3. I prefer the music and gameplay in the Genesis version. I love the way the gameplay "feels" when an attack connects.
4. My sister and I wore this game out back in the day. No joke. We killed it. It stopped playing at all years later.
5. This version has an altered ending if you beat it on hard.
6. This was Konami's first 8megabit cart for the Genesis. Sunset Riders was on a tiny 4megabit cart before it.
7. The SNES had a few extra options that were missing here. There is a Time Trial and Versus mode completely absent in Hyperstone Heist.

I believe that Konami wasn't allowed to make a direct port, rather than they decided not to. One of Nintendo's stipulations of developing on their systems at the time was the game had to be exclusive or radically different from rival systems. and this was the time Nintendo had a stranglehold on the market.
-
I absolutely love the sound of the synth Bass of this game they did a fantastic job with the soundtrack
-
My favorite part of this game is that rather than just being another port of Turtles in Time, this functions more like a standalone expansion pack. Since they're both pretty short, I tend to play both HH and TMNT4 back to back, doubling the Turtles goodness.
-
If I've got 5 minutes to kill I pop in Hyperstone Heist and clear the first two levels. It's always fun.
-
TMNT The Hyperstone Hiest was the first game I owned for the Genesis. I still play it today and the box art is amazing!
-
I never owned a Genesis as a kid but my best friend did. This was the first Turtles beat 'em up I played on a home console and the first Turtles game I acquired as an adult collector.
-
Hyperstone Heist is a really good game on the Genesis. One of my favorite. The only problem for me is the Boss are always the same. It lack diversity of enemies.
-
As a kid, I never knew this existed. Turtles in Time was one of my favorite games growing up, and I would have LOVED to play this. Playing it as an adult... Tatsu kills every attempt to see the ending. I just don't have the reflexes anymore.
-
The biggest sin this game is guilty of is having Rocksteady in it WITHOUT Bebop. I do like that this isn't just a port of Turtles in Time. However, I wish they took more liberties than they did and added more unique assets to set it apart from the other game. As it is, it just comes across as more of a ROM hack than an original.
-
I love Hyperstone Heist so much!
-
One of my favorite games on the Genesis.
-
Had this game as a kid and a neighborhood kid stole just the cartridge from me, never got it back. 25+ years later I traded for a boxed copy, no manual. Cleaning up at my parents house and I found my manual from my original copy when I was a kid. You wouldn't believe my excitement! It was quite satisfying inserting that manual into the boxed copy when I got home. Excellent game!
-
They're called teenage mutant hero turtles because apparently certain European countries are triggered by the word ninja.
-
I love having the run button assigned in this game.
-
LOVE Hyperstone Heist!
-
I love this game so much thanks for doing a video on it
-
One of my all time favourite games, the soundtrack and gameplay beat the SNES game for me, the dash button was better than tapping the direction twice. Glad I still have my original cart.
-
Played Turtles in Time at my cousins all the time growing up and never realized this game existed until much later. It was bittersweet playing through this game several years back, would have loved it for my Genesis as a kid.
-
Thanks for not filtering out those beautiful pixels, I cannot stand it when other channels do that.
-
Didn't realize this was that different from Turtles in Time. Good to know. Too bad we didn't see a Turtles game on the Sega CD that had the first arcade game near perfect. :)
