Crash Bandicoot Games

Who hasn’t heard of Crash Bandicoot? Whether you grew up with the wily anthropomorphic adventurer or only heard the name in passing, developer Naughty Dog’s first big foray in the video game industry was a smash hit with three mainline games released for the nascent Sony PlayStation between 1996 and 1998. Demand for a re-release of these classics eventually culminated in 2017’s N. Sane Trilogy, which sold so well that Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time soon followed. But what about Crash’s handheld days? The series took the Game Boy Advance by storm with several installments that, sadly, are unlikely to ever see the sort of remaster that the PlayStation trilogy received. When games don’t get modern ports, it’s the job of sites like MyEmulator to preserve them in playable format for years to come. Here, you’ll find a collection of Crash Bandicoot’s underappreciated GBA journeys.

Beginning with Crash Bandicoot: The Huge Adventure, the Game Boy Advance played host to the wise-cracking Crash on multiple occasions. Known as Crash Bandicoot XS in PAL regions — the “XS” stands for “Xtra Small” — The Huge Adventure has some impressive distinctions. It’s the first Crash game on a handheld as well as the first installment that isn’t exclusive to PlayStation hardware. Recurring series antagonist Neo Cortex’s latest dastardly plan involves shrinking the Earth with a superweapon called the “Planetary Minimizer,” because why not? Absurdity is Crash Bandicoot’s shtick! Is the tiny world of The Huge Adventure a metaphor for the smaller screen of the Game Boy Advance? Perhaps! Either way, we’ve got both the NA and PAL versions for your gaming pleasure.

The Huge Adventure was soon followed by N-Tranced, which developer Vicarious Visions considers a direct sequel. Cruel Doctor N. Tropy (whose personality is entropic and full of tropes!) has kidnapped and brainwashed two of Crash’s dearest friends. No self-respecting hero would stand for such villainy, but to make matters worse, N. Tropy and his sidekick, N. Trance, have set out to conquer all of time and space. Who knew the universe has been saved on numerous occasions by a street-savvy furball like Crash?

For their next trick, Vicarious Visions told a double-sized tale by combining the Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon franchises into two companion games called Crash Bandicoot Purple: Ripto’s Rampage and Spyro Orange: The Cortex Conspiracy. One of fiction’s greatest twists involves protagonists coming to blows with each other, such as the case of Captain America and Iron Man in the modern Marvel movies. These superheroic collisions are frequently rooted in misunderstandings or some antagonistic force manipulating events to their advantage. Who knew the same thing would happen to Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon? In Purple: Ripto’s Rampage, which MyEmulator hosts in NA format as well as the PAL-only name of Crash Bandicoot Fusion, Crash is tricked into thinking Spyro’s intentions are impure and goes on a quest to defeat the Spyro’s own nemesis, Ripto.

Last but not least is Crash of the Titans, a multiplatform game that made it to PS2, PSP, Xbox 360, and Wii. Portable versions soon followed, including the Game Boy Advance port we proudly provide. Neo Cortex is back, this time harvesting a newfound substance called Mojo and transforming the inhabitants of Crash’s islands into wicked mutants. What sets Crash of the Titans apart from other chapters is that the series standard — platforming — is reduced in favor of beat-em-up mechanics. Crash is a more capable fighter than ever in this faster-paced handheld adventure.
