This month’s cover star has had us yearning for the days of yore when the platformer was making its first tentative steps into 3D. Nick, Darran and Tim look back at the stars and duds of this transformative era.
DARRAN
What’s the first 3D platformer you can remember playing?
NICK
I think mine would have actually been Crash Bandicoot on a friend’s PlayStation. Well, unless Pandemonium counts?
TIM
Well is a platformer that uses 3D visuals, so yes. I played it too, but was the big one for me.a friend to drive all the way to Belfast and I picked it up there, while my mate picked up a fine from the police for some traffic violation. Oops.
