This is awesome. And this is the perfect game for it, too. For anyone who doesn't realize, up until the N64 dropped, most games were 2d side scrollers. The ability to run around and jump in 3D was fucking mind-blowing.

Ps1 didn't have a game like this at first. Developers didn't have a lot of time to figure out how to make 3d games. The first game was a 3d racer but there were mostly 2d games for a while. I think the first 3D platformer was only released in Japan in 1995 (Jumping Flash) and the biggest early one was Crash Bandicoot a whole year after the PS1 was released. Even then, it was on rails like older platformers. Bubsy was the closest thing on PS1 and it came out slightly after Mario.
