Played all of those. Any more PS1 ones? And hell throw me some PS2 shit too, I already know about Jak & Daxter and disappointing Crash and Spyro sequels.

And Bubsy 3D, heh

Bomber man hero
Chameleon twist
Pitfall 3D
Gex
Spyro

And man, really wish Gex went on as a franchise, even though it might have fallen in quality like other PS1 3D plat franchises, but I would have liked it to try at least.

Rayman
Billy Hatcher, maybe? Not really retro and not PS- related

>>1981494
>>1981506
Actually, now that I think about it, the PS1 has lots of obscure and failed mascot platformers, like pic related

>Pac-Man World
Dude, I thought I was the only one that had that game and liked it. I assume hardcore pacman fans think it's an abomination or something.

>>1981624
>Pandemonium
Man that was some shit

and what is NIGHTS exactly? I can't find it

Montezuma Return

>>1981617
>Maximo

This, this, this.

>>1981628
>and what is NIGHTS exactly? I can't find it
Can't be serious, dude

>>1981624
Also Tomba 1 and Tomba 2.

>>1981636
I am. Really never heard of it.

>>1981631
That game is radical:

Rosco McQueen Firefighter Extreme
Jumping Flash 1 and 2
Hermie Hopperhead
All those sweet ass Disney platformers like Tarzan, Hercules, Monsters Inc, fucking Toy Story 2 and Donald Duck Goin Quackers
Bugs Bunny Lost in Time and its sort of sequel Bugs Bunny & Taz Time Busters, Sheep Raider
40 Winks

Shit, there's tons more, can't even name them all. Some of those have versions for PC, DC, PS2, GC, etc.

Rocket: Robot on Wheels
for the N64, pretty underrated gem

Seriously, play this.

The most underlooked game from the early 3D platforming scene by far.

It's on PC too, so you literally have no excuse.

You won't regret it. I played it only last year on recommendation, and it's amazing.

Was Donkey Kong 64 any good? I always really wanted to play it, but I never got it when I was a kid and it doesn't really run properly or well on emulators at all. I'd feel better about never being able to play it if it turned out to actually be shit.

It's a collectathon in the extremist sense. A bunch of characters, a lot of unlockable skills & abilities, a ton of backtracking. I found the gameplay itself pretty average. If you played any of Rare's other 3D platformers from that era then you aren't missing out on much.

Youtube "DK rap" for a good laugh and pass on the game, unless you're in need of an eye opener for platinum/100%'ing games.

Don't know how there is only two posts suggesting rayman.

rayman 2 and 3 are must-play 3d platformers on par with classics such as banjo, conker and crash.

Any of the 3 Bomberman titles on N64. Particularly the first game. I have never played anything else quite like it. A 3D platformed where you can't jump. But it works!

>>1981479
Jumping Flash

>>1981626
Really? I assumed everyone liked it. I personally loved it. Seemed like a predecessor to what the Mario 3D Land games are doing now.

>>1981654
Even I wonder how you've never heard of it. It's always said to be the best Saturn game. It was referenced a TON in Sonic Adventure...and Sonic Adventure 2 to an extent.

It got a Wii sequel too, man.

>>1981890
What game is that image from?

tomba 2 uses 3d graphics but is all around worse than tomba 1

jumping flash? one of the earliest examples of an open 3d platformer and it works surprising well; the cartoony graphics still look nice if pixelated

Jersey Devil was pretty decent at the time, I even beat it as a kid. Looks pretty meh now.

muppet monster advenure on ps1
great game that iis never bought up at all.
really fun

Well there's this, but the PS1 version is very inferior

>>1981805
All this game did was spook my guts off.

But yes, it is pretty good.

>>1981626
What? i loved it as a kid, pretty fun just like Crash, Spyro, Croc etc.

Tomba 2.

MediEvil counts right?

Also Muppet Monster Adventure is a thing. Halloween Spyro clone, but a thing.

I may get some backlash for bringing this one up, but this is also a game not many know about unless you had the original Xbox and saw this on a demo disc. It's a platformer where you fight monster using the power of time crystals that allow you to manipulate time to your advantage. It was a neat concept and even spawned a sequel, but didn't really catch on with the crowd due to being an Xbox exclusive title.
