System: Nintendo 64
Genre: Platformer
One of my biggest gaming regrets is that I was stupid enough to use a guide when I played this. Problem was I'd been eagerly awaiting it for so long that I'd read the free guide that came with a magazine cover to cover before I even got the game. I suppose it didn't stop me enjoying the game or tarnish my memory of it as a true classic, nor did it dampen the amazement of actually exploring a 3D world for the time. The first few minutes I spent playing this were incredible, it was such a revelation at the time and I can think of no other game where I've spent hours messing about in the training level alone. These days it all seems a bit blocky and simple (I recently guided Aidan through a playthrough of it) plus it didn't quite work with DS controls but I'll never forget the Halloween when I first played this.
