I still play Mario. I have a Gameboy Advance with Super-Mario Deluxe in by my PC so I can play through one level while I'm waiting for a game to load. EDIT: I am really tempted to unleash my inner Grammar Nazi. So I will. Your post should have been worded as follows: "Seriously, platform games, back in the day mind you, were the most fun a six year old could have with his game console. Take the Mario series, or hell, even the Samus series. I think we should bring them back." |

Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 689 Joined: 16 May 2008    | The original Prince of Persia just blew me away the first time I saw it. I remember thinking how realistic it looked. It's still a lot of fun today. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1465 Joined: 2 Jan 2008   | I'll always love Flashback and Super Mario World. Flashback for the most amazing "real" experience I'd had in a game up until that point, and Super Mario World as a culmination of all the "fun" platforming that came before it. - J |

Press Junketeer  Posts: 383 Joined: 12 Sep 2008   | I love the good old fashioned style platformer. Especially ones that follow the Mario 64 route - there are X number of Y in the level, go through a bunch of challenges to get them all. Love 'em. Seem to be hard to track down these days, but if you're willing to look hard enough, you can find a fair few, mostly on the PS2. Games like that include the other 3D Super Mario games (obviously), the original Jak and Daxter, Vexx, Looney Tunes: Back in Action, Pac-Man World (to a degree), Rayman 2 (or Revolution, it's an excellent remake), both Wallace & Gromit games, the Tak series and about 80% of animated film tie-ins. Ratatouille was a good example of this. I'd recommend Jak & Daxter, Vexx and the Tak series. Shouldn't be too expensive these days. |

Crash Bandicoot! Fucking YES! |
Press Junketeer  Posts: 457 Joined: 22 Sep 2008  | Wario Land on the original Gameboy. One of the first platformers I ever really got into, and one of the first games I actually beat by myself. It was totally awesome.
Great. One of the best and most fun games of the past several years. I'm sorry, sir, but Super Mario Galaxy was great. I don't know what's happened to you in the ten years between Mario 64 and SMG, but I apologize on behalf of the world. |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2174 Joined: 14 Nov 2007    | Spyro The Dragon and Crash Bandicoot Warped. The first two Spyro games are sheer digital gold, and the third one's not bad either. After that, they went seriously downhill. As for Crash Bandicoot, Warped is just absolutely crazy, and absolutely fantastic fun to play. |
