10 Incredible Forgotten Games From Massive Studios

Eurocom may be no more, but they spent their two and a half decades in game development putting out a range of popular and big-name titles, scoring several entries in the Mortal Kombat, Crash Bandicoot, Harry Potter, Spyro and 007 franchises (including the GoldenEye remake). But not all of them hit; yes, we all remember Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex for the GameCube, but what of the developer's other Crash title, landing just two years prior?

Crash Bash is the forgotten Crash Bandicoot game, as well as the game for offline multiplayer action (up to four players simultaneously with a PS1 multitap). It features battle mode, story mode, mini-games, bosses, and all the established characters from the franchise plus a few new ones, and is surprisingly well conceived for what could otherwise have been a rote or cheap cash-in on such a popular property (at the time) as Crash Bandicoot.

Despite the fact that it was co-developed by Cerny Games (yes, Cerny as in future PlayStation bigwig Mark Cerny), it was overshadowed by the main Crash series and other offshoots like Crash Team Racing, didn't get any direct sequels like CTR, and hasn't been revamped or re-released in the years since. And, unfortunately, Eurocom went under in 2012, so anyone born after the late-'90s may not have had the pleasure of games like this - and perhaps never will.
