When it comes to Video Game Soundtracks there are many that I could choose from, I struggled to pick one that is the best of all time so instead chose the one I am most obsessed with at the moment and that is the soundtrack to Kingdom: Two Crowns composed by Amos Roddy.
I could have placed Undertale by Toby Fox in many different positions in this challenge but I decided to opt for this one over the others because whenever I think of shipping characters in games this duo is the first that always comes to mind, that is Alphys and Undyne.
Games are usually an escape from reality for me, so when they get too realistic, either figuratively or literally, it tends to sour the experience. I know some people want realism from their games but I'd rather live out my fantasies. When it comes to the Spyro The Dragon series of games again the original trilogy holds a soft spot for me, the pinnacle of the franchise overall, but of all the characters that appear throughout the three games, it's one that appears in the second and third that is particularly annoying, and that is Moneybags the greedy bear.
I love the Crash Bandicoot franchise as a whole but undoubtedly the original trilogy are my favourite games as they started it all. Crash Bandicoot 2 was actually the first game in the series that I played, as it came bundled with the Playstation when we first got it, but of the original trilogy, the third instalment was my favourite, Crash Bandicoot Warped, because in it you got to play some levels as Coco Bandicoot, Crash's sister.
I have a particular love of Idle Games, there are quite a few that I could include on this list but chose not to. My first idle game that I ever played was Leaf Blower Revolution, the entire premise is that you start with a green screen representing a field, leaves spawn, and you push them off the screen by moving your mouse cursor, and that's it.
Glover was first released in 1998, for both the Nintendo 64 and Windows PC, the game is a platformer with a twist. The protagonist is a magical glove named Glover, the antagonist another glove named Cross-Stitch which is contaminated by dark energy. Unlike a traditional platformer where the protagonist navigates the level and reaches the goal on their own, Glover requires the player to guide a ball or balls to specific areas of the level, either by balancing on top of the ball and running or by picking it up and throwing it.
Banjo-Kazooie is one of those games I played as a kid but never owned. By the time the Nintendo 64 was released, more of my friends had started playing games, one in particular would turn into a rival of sorts. There was very little crossover in terms of the games we owned so we would often end up swapping games for a time. Banjo-Kazooie was one of those games and from the first time I played it I fell in love with the world it depicted.
