And Landing on it!

TCW Podcast Episode 112 - And Landing on it!   We continue our dive into platforming games.  We look at the three main "schools" of thought brought about in the 2-D era.  We start with the fast platforming pioneered by Sonic with Crash Bandicoot.  The cinematic platformer of Prince of Persia is continued with Tomb Raider.  Nintendo, makes its shift into 3-D with Starfox, and the development of the N64.  This culminates with the release of Super Mario 64.  These early transitions continue to evolve into the modern action platformers of Uncharted, and Super Mario Sunshine.   How Crash Bandicoot Hacked The Original Playstation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izxXGuVL21o Crash Bandicoot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xK-h4M4Aetg TCW 082 - An Unlikely Pairing of Siliwood: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/an-unlikely-pairing-of-siliwood/ Crash Bandicoot Commercial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTi5EaocGaY Sega Saturn Tomb Raider: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfTnITt-vkU TCW 036 - Raiding Eidos: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/raiding-eidos/ Starglider: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqmTEjpLd8E Starfox: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EkVHxE0Y8I Stunt Race FX: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUT0ZLdYwok Super Mario World 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8btNneN8ew Croc Legend of the Gobbos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQ5xtiisV-U Super Mario 64: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6tFoIUyOdU Jax and Dexter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lpq3zVXs9A Sonic Adventure: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bd9Duv-6pFg Super Mario Sunshine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9e11_HgnBUg Uncharted: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hv48CUSjC40 Uncharted 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0EhpxpPeTKE   New episodes on the 1st and 15th of every month!   TCW Email: feedback@theycreateworlds.com  Twitter: @tcwpodcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theycreateworlds Alex's Video Game History Blog: http://videogamehistorian.wordpress.com Alex's book is available for preorder and should be released through CRC Press in December 2019: http://bit.ly/TCWBOOK1   Intro Music: Josh Woodward - Airplane Mode -  Music - "Airplane Mode" by Josh Woodward.
