​Before “chill games” were a thing, we had Crash Bandicoot: impossible levels, pixel-perfect jumps, and an eternal war against those cursed crates.

You’d run toward the camera with zero idea of what was coming, die a hundred times in the same spot, and still yell, “One more try, I swear!” And yeah, that “woah!” scream when you got hit? Iconic.

Crash wasn’t just a game. It was a test of patience, reflexes, and gamer pride. If you cleared The High Road without rage-quitting… you deserve a trophy.​
