Got this idea when creating the ratchet and clank thread,
When i had my ps1 i only ever played platformers, and i wondered which was everyone's favourite.
Mine was spyro. They were just great games..

That was a tough one...
I voted Spyro. Purely because the first couple were really, really good...

Crash was an incredibly close second.

Crash.

Out of those, none come close to Oddworld.



not out of those though, Jumping Flash!

Crash although i did really love spyro

Crash, all the way, but I almost hit Spyro :)

Crash was just plain awesome. Especially Warped. But then it went downhill. I was tempted to vote Gex because no one else had and I loved that series as well.

Gex was great, but Spyro was my big thing back then. I would have my next door neighbor come over and we'd take turns playing levels and killing guys. Ripto's Rage was my favorite, I remember wishing that I could kill Moneybags...

spyro,riptos rage was my favorite,I remember all those hours spent trying to get all gems and emerals,but in the end the reward wasen't that great.

i loved them all...I voted Rayman becaus he was my first platformer.

@Eibmoz: jumping flash kicked so much ass.

wow... really tough choice! I voted spyro, since it had the most replay value, but Rayman was sweet, and I spent entire days on crash trying to get those time trials and hit every box... IMO croc wasn't that great, but I did finally get through ape escape, and gex was one that I never actually got very far through... Sadly, never played oddworld.

Ugh I can't pick between spyro and crash, its like trying to decide between cake or pie...

Does Tomb Raider II count as a platformer?

Spyro because it was the first game i had ever completed 100%. And the first two were amazing. Crash was a very close second

Ugh I can't pick between spyro and crash, its like trying to decide between cake or pie...

Crash...and pie is better.

I'm firmly behind Spyro in this one, though I've spent a good lot of time with both Crash and Gex (which takes second in my book).

BTW, where's Boogerman? ;)

Nice question/choices (hey, you're not going to catch me posting "Nice poll!" <-- that doesn't count!)

Tough choices too... I really loved the PS1 Spyro and Crash games a lot. I chose Spyro because I really spent a lot of time in those games. Although I have to say I really loved the original Rayman and the Gex games.

Does Tomb Raider II count as a platformer?

i think i'd consider that an action/adventure game personally...

i chose crash, cause.... well it's the only series of those i played.

Spyro FTW. I really liked ape escape though I rented that for over triple the cost of buying it :)

Pandemonium

Pandemonium

I loved those games too... I'd probably buy 'em again if they came out on PSN. 2.5D platformers can be pretty sweet when done right. Crystal Dynamics... take a break from Tomb Raider and give us a revamp of Pandemonium!

Crystal Dynamics... take a break from Tomb Raider and give us a revamp of Pandemonium!That would be sweeeet :D

ape escape is one of my favourite games ever

There is not nearly enough love for Oddworld:Abe's Oddysee in this thread.:sad:

This game was the second best 2D side-scroller on the PS1, right under Symphony of the Night.

The game had perfect controls, creative puzzles, and a wonderfully dark sense of humor all wrapped in a really unique world with sharp graphics.

Imagine what a game like that could have been with the DS and it's touch screen.

I hated like evrything bsides Spyro back then! :lol: Course, i was only 5 at the time!

I still love the original Rayman. When it went full 3D it got...not as good.

I don't think I really played any of those.

MEGAMAN 8! lol I voted for Crash but man did i love Megaman 8. It was like reliving the NES days all over again.

I still love the original Rayman. When it went full 3D it got...not as good.

I agree that the 2D Rayman was the best of the series.

its all about crash

I just had to vote for Crash although Spyro came a very very close 2nd... loved them both !!
