I haven't played the 3D Gex game in over 10 years. I wonder if they aged as badly as Croc. I haven't played them since they came out, but I remember some movie references that I thought were funny at the time. |

I haven't played them since they came out, but I remember some movie references that I thought were funny at the time. There were two games I played at my neighbors house, it was Crash Bandicoot and the PS1 Gex game. I played Crash a couple of years ago, and it hasn't ahed that well. But perhaps Gex is slightly better since it's more of true 3D game that was mostly open compared to Crash' claustrophobic linear path. |

I admire your optimism, but I'd think that being more open might make it age worse. I could be wrong - haven't played it since new and only really remember the character and basic premise. Maybe I'll check YouTube tomorrow. |

I actually think Crash is one of the most endearing video game mascots out there. How can you hate that dance?

What you said about precise jumps seems to be true, but I think the quick pace of Crash might be more fun. This looks kind of dull: I'm sure it was exciting at the time, though. "Fuhgettabowtit!" |

There's no way to know without playing it, but if it supports analog sticks, I think we have a clear winner. If not, we'd have to see. Also, having the ability to hang with your tongue also makes the platforming even more forgiving. |
