In 1996, Sony was still trying to make its place in the very closed world of home console manufacturers. From then on, one thing was clear: the Playstation still lacked references in the field of platform games. The SNES, although technically outdated at the time by its 32-bit counterparts, continued to host hits in this field (Donkey Kong Country 3, to name but one). Even worse, the direct competitor, Sega and its Saturn, already had some quality titles, including the excellent Nights. But that's without counting on the unsuspected talents of the young developer Naughty Dog, who then decided to support Sony by bringing a very nice stone to the Playstation building. It is in this context that the first episode of the Crash Bandicoot series is released. Displaying a magnificent 3D honoring the 32-bit support, the game allows itself to borrow some codes from its 16-bit elders. Thus, Crash evolves on an archipelago divided into three islands, each of which contains at least one boss, and the movement from one point to another on the island is done before the selection of each level. The reference to Donkey Kong Country is obvious, especially since the tropical theme of the environments is also borrowed from Rare.
