JUUUUUUUUUUMPING FLASH!!!!
I originaly had my heart set on Sega Saturn.
Saturn costed $400 dollars at the time. I didn't have enough for the saturn so I spent the $300 dollars on the newcomer the Playstation.
I couldn't even afford a game. I just played the fuck out of the demo and rented a game or three.
In a matter of days I got my first game Ridge Racer.
Ridge Racer was so cool It had Galaga on the loading screen no some other classic.
Regardless It pioneered playing another artists music buy the game loading directly to the Ps tiny Ram.
You could play a Nirvana Cd as you played the game. Ingenios!
PS1 for Life!

I know, I know, I must be insane for saying this, but I had much more fun with the first two JF! games (third is from a different developer and sucks) than ANY other 3D plaformer. This includes Mario 64.
Jumping Flash! is one of the few platformers, 2D or 3D, released after 1995 that was actually about the PLATFORMING. Not running around exploring levels or returning to previous areas in an effort to increase game length, just 100% pure jumping around, grabbing the few items scattered around the level and going to the exit. LOVED IT.
The Japanese Jumping Flash! 2 also included the full version of the original game, which I hadn't played at the time back then. I couldn't believe I had missed out on it before the sequel was released.
Developer Exact's next games, Ghost In The Shell for the PSX and the Fantavision games for the PS2, rocked too!
Jumping Flash! came first. Its predecessor was released on a Japanese PC in 1994, too. MARIOWNED.

Wow, I didn't know the folks behind Jumping Flash were the same that did GiTS. Makes some sense though, in hindsight.
From Jumping Flash to the kickass Ghost in the Shell. My, what a talented crew they must have had. I really hope they take notice of the PSP's need for jumping robots.

A port of Jumping Flash would really be a dream come true for me. The last time I checked the head of EXACT the developer of JF had some harsh word for the Nintendo DS, it also was noted they were working on a PSP title, but I don't know what it was. Maybe a puzzle game.

Wasn't part 1 the first game to get a full five stars from Next Generation magazine? They called it the first true 3D platformer if I'm not mistaken (which is obviously true).

Yeah, I recently purchased both of them about 6 months ago. Played through 1 and 2 and was not really bothered by the graphics all that much. Obviously opinions will differ on the subject

I loved the first two JF games. Never played the third. It was one of the first real introduction to 3D game play for a lot of console owners. I'd say I enjoyed JF more then Mario 64, but Mario did a great job of taking an existing game from 2D to 3D.
I remember jumping really high in the air and then looking down, between your feet no less, and seeing how tiny everything way and getting a sense of vertigo from that height. What an awesome experience at the time. A PSP port would be a welcome addition for me. Such an under appreciated title.

That's sorta half correct; at a certain point, NG start re-adjusting their old scores, to "reflect the times" so to speak. I think that might be the case here.
If you're looking for a version to pick up, I recommend the Japanese version of 2.
The US version of the first game had it's cutscenes removed because they were drinking beer. (oh noez!) The european version had the scenes intact and in english.
The Japanese version of JF2 came out when SCEI was in it's really cool stage so you received Japanese JF2 + uncut english JF1 together in a dual cd case. I picked it up from Gameland in Torrance for... $13.95? something like that. Cheaps!

I bought the PS1 on day one (my friends with 3DO's laughed at me), and played the crap out of the demo disc they gave you (JF was one of the playable demo's).
I only had enough to buy two games .. so I bought Toshinden and Destruction Derby. Jumping Flash would have to wait. A few months later I bought it and loved it. I though the control could have been a little better, but the jumping/platforming was fantastic. The psychedelic colors and ideas were very cool too.
All those initial PS1 games were not the deepest games in the world ... but they all had thier unique individuality, and highlighted alot of features of the new generation of games to come.

Actually, the 1+2 remakes/ports seem to be all the rage on GBA. SCEJ''s already doing this with PoPoLoCrois PSP, they should just go all out with PSone stuff...
-Jumping Flash 1+2
-Crime Crackers 1+2
-Gran Turismo 1+2
-Minna no Golf 1+2
-Arc the Lad 1+2
-WildARMS 1+2
-Alundra 1+2
-Motor Toon GP 1+2
-Carnage Heart+Zeus
-Xai+Jumbo
-IQ+Final
-Parappa+Lammy
...that'd get me on the PSP bandwagon quick.

-JF! 1+2 = OH HELL YES
-Crime Crackers =crap
-Gran Turismo 1+2 = No point with GT4 Mobile coming
-Minna No Golf 1+2= We already got a new Minna No Golf
-Arc The Lad 1+2= Sure, but why not include 3 too?
-Wild Arms 1+2= Okay.
-Alundra 1+2 = 1, yes, 2, FUCK NO
-Motor Toon GP 1+2= Awesome
-Carnage Heart= CRAP.
-Xi= Would be most welcome on PSP.
-IQ= Ditto.
-Parappa+Lammy= Yes.
But if you really want these games, go buy yourself a console. You missed out, Jarrod.
Naw, I've already played most of them. Besides, they're not realy in circulation anymore... I wonder if SCEI might consider doing a "PSmini" series of emulated PSone rereleases on PSP?Lyte Edge said:But if you really want these games, go buy yourself a console. You missed out, Jarrod.
