Tomba

This 2d/3d game felt more like a side-scrolling Zelda-esq game to me, but damn was it fun. This game had my cousin and I tied up for months as we tried to beat it. Oh how I loved watching that boy jump on top of the pigs and take a big bite of bacon then throw the pig when he was finished. The game is a about a spikey pink haired boy whose grandfathers bracelet is solen by a bunch of evil swine and his island is then transformed! . After taking on missions Tomba must collect evil pig bags to recapture all the evil swine to return his island to normal. This side scrolling game was very different for the fact that you had to return to older stages to find objects and artifacts relevant to completing quests. In 1998 this game was breath of fresh air and a character that is still unique to this day. Jrad gives it a 5 out of 5 for being a ps1 classic.
