Crash bandicoot is as punishing as I remember. Crash 3 less so. Saving the best (2) for last.
Read lots of reviews saying the jumping was broken, but I think they have forgotten that the jumping was always this way, you had to be very careful, especially in the first game. Getting into a rythm always helped!
Died 37 times on the last level on the first island, every single one my fault. I was too impatient or took too long for every one. But the game never looked better. My only problem is my brain won't make up its mind whether I use the analog stick or buttons, I switch mid level all the time!
Looking For: Wreckers Saga TPB Collection (with Requiem)
lol, Crash 1 may have some real dick level design it's mechanically sound and every death no matter how annoying was my own fault.
Unless they mean that the jumping is different than the original, it is but only in 1 because they used the crash 2/3 movement for the remake of 1.
I remember an interview with some of the guys from Naughty Dog on Crash 1's development. The guys there were convinced the game was super easy, then SCEA's people tried to play it and got killed over and over. Turns out they had made the game so difficult that only people at Naughty Dog were able to play it and have fun with it, even then they died a hell of a lot. Once they realised their mistake they made the game much easier for the final release but it's still not an easy game.
Anyway, does anyone know of a place I can buy GTA 1 and 2 digitally? I remember Rockstar released the games for as freeware a while back but that site has been taken down and they are unavailable to purchase on Steam.

Thanks for reminding me, going to have to go back to these old ones again
Really depends on if you want to download them for free somewhere (as prjkt mentioned you can get them there, since they were given free by Rockstar it's fine to do so) or you want paid for copies.
If you want them on steam then you will need to find an online key sites that has steam keys for the Grand Theft Auto Complete Pack Extended, which will give you GTA 1&2 on steam
I guess those will have to do. I would prefer them in a client like Steam or GOG, but I guess beggars can't be choosers.
And I now know why they have been removed from all services, they don't work on modern Windows. Well I guess that's another reason I should look into a VM with hardware support to run older versions of Windows.
