10 Video Games You Didn't Realise Are Over 20 Years Old

Super Mario 64 may have set the tone with 3D platformers but Crash Bandicoot flipped the genre on its head. Often regarded as Sony's answer to Mario, Crash plays a lot more like a Sonic game with its emphasis on speed and course-running. And if Sonic made 3D games like the original Crash titles, they probably wouldn't be so poorly received today.

In late 1996, Crash debuted and caused an entire generation of kids to wonder: 'what is a bandicoot? Are they good at jumping? Do they like jorts?'

Crash didn't have the same free roaming capability as his Italian counterpart, but taken on face value alone, Crash is just fun. The game is full of obstacle set pieces that would become a trademark of later Naughty Dog titles.

The remastered N. Sane Trilogy combining the first three games has recently been released and is a good opportunity for fans to relieve the fun of battling mad scientists and running from boulders.

Just ignore the later titles when Crash got more 'rad' and tattooed. Those are sad, sad times.
