NGPC was truly the Dreamcast of handhelds: fighting games, sonic, and the Cool Cool Toon/Jam dyad.

i think it’s an uncomfortable, poorly-thought out piece of shit. 
much like the n64 controller.
Great triggers have been twanging for 19 years straight.

Can someone explain to me the appeal of Crash Bandicoot?
It was 1996 and it was something to play on your friends PS1 when you were both ten

the save menu let you overwrite anything on the memory card because Sony hadn’t like, finalized their developer guidelines around that yet, so that was neat

missed opportunity not making the guy in the crash mascot suit from the commercials a playable character in the remakes

Mario 64 is credited as being a trendsetter for the future of videogames, but it did make one misstep. Each goal in Mario 64 is to collect a star, but the stars resemble shitty toys you get for a quarter from a capsule machine in front of the corner store. Very unsatisfying.
Crash, on the other hand, was giving you the goal of collecting treasure right from the first game. Each subsequent game then introduced a new type of treasure to collect, first crystals then ankhs you can find in a Reno giftstore that sells polished stones. Mario would eventually catch up in Sunshine, where the stars were upgraded to high definition 23k gold plated kitch.

It’s Donkey Kong Country style “rhythmic platforming” done in 3D space. Crash 2 is probably the best executed of the original trilogy.
