There was a reason Nintendo turned down this game.

Because it was shit.

[Anonymous No.2429384]

just classic

[Anonymous No.2429391]

I enjoyed it a lot when I was a kid.

Nintendo turned down this when game was in tech version, they did good changes after that.

If you think that's even in the top 20 best Ps1 platformers, you'd better stop dreaming and wake up.

[Anonymous No.2429417]

>>2429407
Of course it is, it's my personal opinion.

[Anonymous No.2429426]

>>2429407
Could you list some better PS1 platformers? I'm honestly curious and looking for some good ones.

[Anonymous No.2429498]

>>2429369
if you take this game as a challenge is really good and pretty challenging.

I only played croc 2 demo.

Wasn't it originally their pitch for a Yoshi game? Certainly makes sense when you look at Croc.

[Anonymous No.2429567]

>>2429519
Yes, it was a Mario 64 style Yoshi game at first, but they changed it to Croc.

[Anonymous No.2429620]

Crash Bandicoot 2.

Best balance of the original 3.

[Anonymous No.2429637]

I played this for the first time a couple of weeks ago and I was amazed by how well it holds up.

Bought that game as a kid, hated it, traded for Wild Arms 2 in the same day.

Heart of Darkness is the best platformer on playstation /thread

[Anonymous No.2429659]

Love this game, it has the same kind of feeling as Namco's 90's arcade games.

[Anonymous No.2429663]

>>2429659
Love this game but good luck finding it.

[Anonymous No.2429668]

Comfy as fuck, great music, great controls, and a fun game.

[Anonymous No.2429847]

>>2429369
That was a great game.

Best platformer for me will always be Tomb Raider 2 though.

Kill yourselves.

Couldn't stand spyro.

[Anonymous No.2429875]

>>2429637

This and its sequel.

Eat shit, Crash, Spyro, Croc and all those other western mascot wannabes.

[Anonymous No.2429879]

I used t play this a lot as a kid

[Anonymous No.2429905]

>>2429369
Croc feels poor as shit.
I don't know how anybody can say that.

best platformer is probably Klonoa and everything still 2D sidescroller.

[Anonymous No.2429919]

>>2429879
It had a great sequel, too. I rarely hear it mentioned here, people always talk Crash, Spyro, and Klonoa.

[Anonymous No.2429929]

>>2429879
It is also available for the PC, as is the sequel.

Amen to that.
I'm also a fan of Pac Man World but have a considerable amount of nostalgia bias so my vote for "best" remains HoD

[Anonymous No.2431047]

Croc was good. I played Pandemonium a lot too, that was an awesome game, I need to play it again.

[Anonymous No.2431063]

>>2429369
>Croc
>better than Crash or Spyro

Hm.

[Anonymous No.2431075]

I love Croc, but the thing that drives me over the edge are the bonus rooms where you have to catch stuff in a cauldron that you move using buttons you jump onto. Miss one thing and it's over. They're always at or near the end of levels too..

I still don't know whether there's a trick to it I'm missing or whether I just really suck at it.

[Anonymous No.2431079]

Spyro 3 is one of the biggest western titles that never got released in Japan.

[Anonymous No.2431080]

No Tomba! yet? Okay.

[Anonymous No.2431126]

>>2429369

Played it on the Saturn. One of my favorite platformers. I liked that both it and Croc 2 were actually sorta difficult. Not super hard, but hard enough that you couldn't just blast through it on autopilot like so many other platformers.

There was a weird bug where if you played the game with certain RAM carts installed Croc's head would be missing.

Man, Tomb Raider 2 is one of my biggest disappointments in all of gaming. After the first one being such an awesome trek through ruins and ancient puzzles, TR2's settings really turned me off.

[Anonymous No.2431451]

So much of this. Jumping Flash should have been the template for 3D platformers, but that didn't happen.

TR2 was fun, but I don't think it was as good as the original.

The first game had this amazing feeling of exploration mixed with isolation. You could go on for quite a while with no combat just checking stuff out or working on finding a way through whatever was in your way.

There were these long, involved puzzle sections that would take you all over the level finding things or changing things in order to progress, and it had some really amazing setpieces (the Colosseum, the waterfall, the sphinx, etc).

Combat was super easy (99% of the time it was "jump on top of something and then shoot the enemy with your pistols while it ran around unable to attack you until it finally died"), but combat wasn't really the focus.

Tomb Raider 2 was a lot of fun, but the devs really overcompensated on the combat by throwing in tons of human enemies with guns. They also overcompensated on the fact that you could save anywhere on the PS1 version now and put in a ton of instant death areas.

That, and the fact that while places like modern day Venice and a sunken cruise ship wreck at the bottom of the ocean were pretty cool, they sure as hell weren't the "tombs" we were expecting.

I never got around to playing The Last Revelation back in the day, I'm currently playing through it on the Dreamcast and it has been a ton of fun so far. It feels a lot closer to the original than any of the other classic TR games.

I was born 88, so I was pretty young when the first one came out. Family didn't get a computer till 95, and we didn't play games on it anyway. When we finally got a playstation, 2 was already out, and it the was the first that I played. I did go back and play the first one, and it was great, but the 2nd one was what I first got acquainted with, so there was no potential for disappointment.
