Huh

This game is weird and probably not worth playing today, but there is a lot of charm here and it's just interesting see what PS1 games were like,, wtf is this personally I prefer gex 2 because I really like 3d platformers, but this isn't bad at all.

Is this helpful to you?

dated lizard

The core game play is compelling if you want an older platformer. I never grew up on it so I have no nostalgia for it. The password system if a relic from a bygone era. I wish there were save states and or QOA edits to make this more approachable.

GOG & the issue with controller-support

Actually I would love to buy this game because I have lots of good childhood memories with it. But since GOG still doesn't manage to provide controller-support for the oldschool-games they sell, I save myself from frustration and won't buy it. Can you really imagine controlling a jump 'n run with a keyboard, seriously? Jesus!!! It's 2023!!!
