    junk games for your ps1

    It is terrible everything is almost a scam, the difficulty is hateful and terrible since it is difficult and not playable, the gameplay is boring and generic only jumps and an attack that does not help much, the only good thing about this mediocre game would be the graphics that are good for their era and music with average level designs.

    Will live on forever

    Crash Bandicoot is a classic Playstation game, being one of the first Playstation games. As of now, it is almost ten years old. Wow!!! For today, it is considered primitive, but for back in its time it was the new and more advanced version of Super Mario Bros.(another game that lives on forever). Everything about Crash Bandicoot is awesome from the neat and older style graphics, to the complex levels, and the maniac characters. Crash Bandicoot will always remind me of when I was younger and I played this game with my friends all the time.

    The story is about an experiment by the evil Dr. Neo Cortex that goes wrong, this experiment is called Crash Bandicoot. Crash is supposed to be loyal to Neo Cortex, but he escapes his lab that was on an island and gets washed up on an island nearby. However, Crash had a girlfriend who is held hostage by Neo Cortex and is having experiments done on her. Crash is supposed to get across the island he got washed up on, the island next to it, and then through Neo Cortex's island in order to defeat Cortex, save the world, and get his girlfriend back.

    Along the way, Crash is aided by a witch doctor named Aku Aku. Together they take on several dangers of the island including dangerous plants, wild animals, natives, piranhas, deadly robots, pelicans, rats, and even a few of Cortex's machine gun wielding henchmen that are on his island. Throughout the island are some of Neo Cortex's big henchmen, such as a huge Indian, a crazy dynamite loving kangaroo, an insane Gorilla, and a rat who is much like a '40's gangster with a tommy gun. In the end crash gets to take on Dr. Neo Cortex.

    I really loved this game, it really brings back some great memories for me. Hopefully you can find a copy of it somewhere, as of now it's quite rare.

    Never gets old

    This is one of the best games of the 20th century! This gem dropped in 1996 and quickly became a staple of the PlayStation era. I mean, who could resist that wacky little orange dude and his vibrant, wild world? From the get-go, you dive into a colorful, slightly chaotic adventure filled with jumping, spinning, and a whole lot of collecting! Each level is packed with character-whether you're racing through a lush jungle, dodging boulders, or trying to navigate those tricky platform sequences, it's a joyride all the way. The graphics were groundbreaking for the time, and they still have a certain charm that makes you smile. Let me tell you, the difficulty curve is real! Those levels can be challenging, but they keep you coming back for more. Every time you think you've mastered a level, you find yourself face-to-face with some crazy new obstacle. I swear, I like to think of myself as a seasoned gamer, but Crash does have a way of putting you in your place! And oh, the music! Those catchy tunes get stuck in your head for days. You can't help but hum along while you try and beat your high score.

    It is a delightful throwback that perfectly captures the essence of classic platforming. If you haven't tried it yet, or if you're just feeling nostalgic, fire it up and get ready for some fun! It's a wild ride that never gets old.

    Challenging but it's still a great PS1 game

    I remember playing this game including the demo version on Sony PS1 when I was a kid. I beat this game about few times I think but I missed some gems, I'm afraid. It's kinda very challenging but it's still a great game though.

    It's about our goofy hero Crash Bandicoot who goes on his quest to rescue his sweetheart Tawna from the evil mad scientist Dr. Neo Cortex.

    I have it on PS4 as its remastered version in Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy. It looks great. I like its both classic and remastered version. I cannot prefer so who cares which one is the best anyway?!

    It's probably one of the best PS1 games of all time.

    CRASH BANDICOOT: Iconic Bandicoot

    CRASH BANDICOOT (1996) is a modern classic video game brought to us by Naughty Dog, (Crash, Jak and Daxter, Last of Us), and now a deeply beloved franchise series, as well as being the games of my childhood. This game started the magic.

    Crash Bandicoot is our mostly silent protagonist (he doesn't speak, but does make sounds when spinning or injured) and this game introduces the iconic character as he seeks to defeat enemies and rescue his girlfriend, Tawna.

    "Crash Bandicoot is on a quest to rescue his girlfriend from the evil Dr. Neo Cortex."

    This game is very nostalgic to many children's childhoods. This game may not the greatest of the franchise but it certainly holds significance being the beginning of a much beloved character and story. Overall, a great game!
