I actually don't but now that I have my GBA with a backlight mod I might actually order a couple when I get paid tonight

Last time I checked there were only 3, The Huge Adventure, N-Tranced, and some crossover with Spyro. Some of the environments in the first two I've mentioned are reminiscent of the first few main Crash games.

Crash Purple: Ripto's Rampage and Spyro Orange: The Cortex Conspiracy

The songs from the soundtrack are also very similar (the first 2 GBA games) to some of the songs from Crash 2 and Crash 3. Derived from them maybe?

That sounds interesting. I'll definitely be looking into these 3 games

Might have to wait until next week though as I decided to grab a copy of Rayman for Jaguar this week. So expensive

Yeah, last time I checked on eBay there was one listing for 99.99 that included the game cartridge and 259.00 for the complete box, manual and game. Yikes.

Better just get the Crash games.

It's crazy right? I found one for £135 boxed but I didn't have that much and it's crazy still, but that's actually a good deal for it. I found a non boxed one including the manual and bargained him down to £91. That's still expensive but it's better than buying a £44 box. I use euro but I'm saying pound since it's an English seller.

I'll be picking up those GBA games next week though hopefully.

Speaking of which, did you get yourself a GBA?

Not yet. I've decided to wait until my birthday in July. Hopefully with my birthday money I get in late June I can snag a nice deal with either a used or new one.

When I do, I'll try to get the GBA Rayman games as well as the GBA Crash games.

Nice! The GBA actually has a lot of good games on it. I have all the Mario games too and the only Rayman I don't have is Raving Rabbids. I have to get the Crash games though, both GBA and PS1 versions

The first three games? Or them as well as Team Racing and Bash?

I was referring to the first 3 games but now that you mention it, they'd be nice to have too

Yeah, Team Racing is really good, so good that people are begging Vicarious Visions to do a remake of it for the current generation consoles.

One of my cousins actually told me to get that game for an emulator a couple years back when we were playing games on my laptop stating that it was his childhood. I most definitely will pick myself up a copy of it

Eh, yeah the designs are pretty bad, but the gameplay itself isn't all that bad. Different than the traditional Crash gameplay, which is a little refreshing.

That's the other game I was thinking of, Mind over Mutant. I played Titans on GBA once, it wasn't that bad. The designs were the only thing that was plain awful. Although I think I am also missing Crash Twinsanity also, but I think that's the only other one I'm missing. I haven't checked my stash of video games in months though, so I don't know which ones work or not.

I actually played a bit of mind over mutant on my xbox 360. I can't remember much but they're very different games. I prefer the older ones but I'm not saying these are bad either

Mind Over Mutant is worse than Titans. From what I remember (I haven't played both games in years), Titans is more linear and Mind Over Mutant has these weird cutscenes in different forms (artwork, storyboard), it looks a bit unprofessional to me.

I'm getting confused over which is which. Which was the one that you had to fight and block etc.

In both games you fight the creatures and then control them. I don't remember if blocking was still in Mind Over Mutant or not, but I know in Titans it is.

I think it might be Titans I was thinking of then. It was about a year or 2 back when I tried them out. I didn't complete either of them but I'll try them out again one of the days.

I might try to find Titans in my large stack of old PS2 games and play it as well one of these days. I actually used to enjoy it when I was younger.

Hmm, now that I think of it, I haven't played it in over 3 years.
