ack in the 90s, there was no end of games starring adventurous
animals. Crash was one of the few that proved more than a furry flash in the pan, with a long line of sequels, spin-offs, and remasters. While this marsupial made
his name in a platformer, he’s equally at home behind the wheel or partying with his pals. Join us for a tour of his career highlights, from his debut right up to his latest.

for all the right reasons. Mixing side-scrolling levels and into-the-screen sections with the camera fixed behind Crash, it was brilliantly unique at the time. It also established Crash’s irrational hatred of crates. At least, we assume that’s why he smashes so many of them.
Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped 1998
The series became so successful so quickly that two sequels were released within two years – and despite the fast turnaround, they were both instant classics. A more ambitious story in Warped saw Crash travelling through time with his sister Coco, here playable for the first time. This entry featured more of
the platforming action that fans had come to love, with a time travel twist allowing the pair to explore the likes of ancient Egypt and the Stone Age in their quest. As in previous games, some levels saw the bandicoots riding animals, which here included a baby Tyrannosaurus rex! We never dinosaur that coming.
