Best platformer

[MrTickle]

Tough one this...

Note turrican isn't in here because its a platform/shoot 'em up, and i don't class it the same

I voted James Pond III because I love it to bits, but Silly Putty, Bubble Bobble and Zool are all favourites of mine.

I just love Giana Sisters...

C64 version and Amiga... but I am also a Sonic fan.. tricky

Bubble Bobble is also great hmm..

Why did you list so many great titles. It's too hard to pick!

I know and I forgot the Addams Family, which was really good on the Amiga!

Had to choose Robocod. Great characters, fun levels, lovely graphics and fantastic music.

Hey! Where's Superfrog?

[Akira]

Hmm... call me infidel, but since you put Sonic there... I had to vote it Though I actually like Sonic 2 only.
On the Amiga, i'd vote for Mr. Nutz. Closest thing to Sonic I could find

Hey! Where's Superfrog?

Yeah! I voted "other", because my choise would be Superfrog.
It's the only platformer, which I've completed several times :)

RoboCod: James Pond II definitely.
But what about Pang and Rodland?

[moseley_international]

i think superfrog has got to be there some where?

or ( walker ) nice music intro

hi to synstar bristol

[robotriot]

i also liked rick dangerous 2, if it qualifies as a platformer :)

It was really hard to vote on this, because there were so many brilliant platformers back in the day.. Superfrog, Fire & Ice, Giana Sisters..

In the end I gave my vote to James Pond 2 - Robocod, which was damn near perfect if you ask me. A LOT of variation in the levels, good playability, lots of weird special items and powers etc. Perhaps it was a bit too slow compared to games like Superfrog, and certain levels were quite annoying, but I still love it.

Come to think of it, I don't think I ever completed Robocod despite wasting so many hours in it.. I have to do something about this. =)

SUPERFROG!!!

[VermillioN]

Superfrog was awesome and so are the rest of these but Bubble Bobble has to be up there for significance at the time

Dunno about Magic Pockets tho...nice music but JESUS it was hard

[XtC]

Thomas the Tank Engine.

Plenty of platforms in that game!
