One of if not the best 2D platformers ever (likely biased by my childhood). Amazing music, art, level design and controls. Masterpiece.

Doesn’t take itself seriously, silly as hell and wicked fun. I probably logged hundreds of hours heating up, entering cheats and BOOMSHAKALAKA’ing in this classic.

Some of the most fun platforming around at the time. Loved the art, characters, level design and perhaps more than anything - the music. My cousin deleted my savefile and I haven’t forgiven him decades later.

The historic grandfather of 3D shooters, paving the way for a genre that would come to dominate the industry. I remember playing this with my brother, and he’d always make it harder by refusing to shoot the dogs.

A fantastic game which I played the hell out of growing up. This PC version is all but completely ruined though, so it’s hard to recommend. Still love that tone though.
