For the first time on stream, we’re emulating a PS2 game! Given my current setup, it doesn’t run as smoothly as one would want to, but hey, it’s playable, watchable and enjoyable! So yeah, we’re playing Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex, a classic Crash game that was not made by the original creators (Naughty Dog) but by Traveler’s Tales. It’s a divisive game, as sometimes it tries too hard to emulate past Crash games, but it really went the extra mile with the derivative gameplay of Crash 3, i.e. the worst part of Crash 3, making half the levels vehicle sections in TWoC. Even if there are poor design choices here and there, and some straight up bad levels sprinkled around, I really enjoy and love this game as a whole, even if some of that enjoyment is pure nostalgia, controls are tight and jumping and spinning levels are great!

Besides all that, there was no other way, for the 200 followers special, I had to play TWO-C (as in CC, 200 in Roman num- ok you get the joke). This is just an any% run that became an “all possible gems without actually doing any relics” …run. Enjoy!
