or Christmas 1995, I was given a PlayStation along with the original Crash Bandicoot. PlayStation intended for Crash to be their mascot, just like Sega had Sonic and Nintendo had Mario. This was the first game I had ever played on the PlayStation and thoroughly enjoyed it. I had also bought its two sequels, as well as the racing game Crash Team Racing. In recent years, they remastered these games for various new platforms after a five-year hiatus for the franchise. They have also added a new game to the franchise called Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time.

Crash is brought back for a new adventure alongside his sister Coco, his old girlfriend Tawna, and many returning characters as they encounter the Quantum Masks and must once again stop his old nemesis Dr. Neo Cortex as they travel through the multiverse. There are two play modes: Retro Mode, which uses limited lives much like in the classic games, and Modern Mode, which replaces lives with a death counter. Several levels also include two variations: the main story and the alternate timeline versions.
