This was my favourite of the Bandicoot games because I liked the little polar bear.
When my family got a PS1, this was the first game we ever had.
Guardian Heroes
1996
Arena modeeee
StarTropics

black panther for dudes who say oh my hylia
Toobin'
1988
The NES version of Toobin' is cute and fun but, like most NES ports, it makes me want to try out the arcade version more than anything.
The funniest thing to me about this game is that tubing down a river is, as I understand it, supposed to be a fairly relaxing activity. I mean, you just sit in the tube. Even speedboat tubing looks exciting, and it is, but you're ultimately just sitting there. It's awesome. Meanwhile, our Toobin' protagonist is giving it all he's got just to get down the river. Awesome. I wish him the best.
Also, major shoutout to the digital guitarist doing the soundtrack to this game. Racing down the river, and this dude's absolutely just tearing ass on this guitar solo.

Skate or Die
1988
Should've chose the latter.
The fact that the Venom 2 trailer did NOT bother getting "Mob Rules" by Black Sabbath is a gigantic misstep in its marketing.
That's all I wanted to share. The beat-em-up mechanics within are solid enough, but the difficulty is horribly off-balance. Great soundtrack, though.

Funny and incoherent.
Brings nothing new to the table, but it's fun and technically proficient.
