/vr/ - Retro Games

Just talk about old games you played and how they were and if you learned anything new from when you first played them to now.
I'll go first
It's 1997 and I'm 7 at the last warp room and the last gem I need to get is from piston it away and cold hard crash before I finally 100% the game. No matter how hard I try I can't find all the boxes in both stages, a few months ago I learned that cold hard crash and piston it away are two of the three levels that have boxes that you have to back track to get. That and you can spin the shrink ray orbs and they bust no longer shrink you to death.

At least Megaman went down in a glorious memorable shitstorm and he's still kinda popular.
Crash went down like...whatever is the opposite of that. I hate Naughty Dog for being franchise-abandoning pricks, even though Twinsanity was good.

I wonder if devs that were kids growing up playing Crash will make revivals like DKC and Rayman got.

Which Crash Bandicoot game is the best?

I played Warped when I was younger. Recently, I've gone back and played the first game. I beat it and am working my way through the sequel. I've seen a lot of people praise 2, but honestly, I think 1 had more variety. The controls are more refined but each level is just a variation of the previous warp room's levels.

There's a castle level, or a sewer level, or whatever, and they just change it around a bit. Occasionally they'll throw something random in but I felt like the first game had way more, and was also more difficult. There are a ton of checkpoints in the second game's levels.

Which one is your favorite? I look forward to playing Warped again.

I kind of feel like streaming this game tonight actually
