Crash Bandicoot XS

Completed Crash Bandicoot XS to credits.

A lot of elements were taken from crash bandicoot 3 on psx and with that considered it is a great example of a console title ported for handheld. The visuals are great, it seems like most assets were pre renders from the psx game which worked really well.

It was a little shorter than expected, only 20 levels with 4 boss fights, I got through it in about 6 hours.

All in all a great handheld title which holds up well today and really made great use of the limited resources of the GBA.

The Incredibles

Completed the Incredibles on GBA to credits. Pretty terrible game mainly due to slow unresponsive controls, some sections offered redemption however, the final boss fight was pretty good.

 I imagine it would be pretty fun on an updated system or if the controls in 3d space were improved.
The main gripe was with Elastigirls horrible targeted attack which only had 5 angles and was game critical in a lot of sections.

It was weird to drop back to a game without save functionality, I haven't had to scribble down level codes in a long time. Takes me back to the time when I bought Mighty Max on the SNES and the instruction book notes page was filled with all the level codes. In the days before google it was a big win for me. Need to get that game added to the list.
