Replay – Tomba!

by Andrew Reiner on Sep 13, 2014 at 03:00 AM

Some memories are better left in the past. On this episode of Replay, fond memories of yesteryear are trampled to death by a pink-haired jerk. Whoopee Camp's 1998 PlayStation action/platformer, Tomba!, looks charming, and sounds charming, but ends up beating me senseless and driving me nearly to insanity. The problems are revolve around a stupid little branch. It may be the worst branch to ever exist on planet Earth. Sure, you could direct blame at my gaming skills, but that would just be silly. The branch is clearly the problem here.

In our second segment, we take a look at another PlayStation platformer that proves to be...how should I put this...just as frustratingly difficult. Maybe I was just having a bad day at the sticks, or maybe games from years gone by don't hold up as well as we remember them. You be the judge.
