Super Mario 64 was the defining 3D platformer of the late 1990s, and nothing on the PlayStation truly matched it. But both Crash and Spyro had a damn good try. Crash went for a much more linear level design than Mario 64, whereas Spyro aped its free-roaming gameplay. But regardless of the approach, both of them were the closest Sony had to a Mario or Sonic-style mascot platformer.
Why the hell are they missing? The Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy remastered collection came out last year, and the Spyro Reignited Trilogy is coming out in time for Christmas - so including them on the PlayStation Classic would seem a little redundant.

The Tony Hawk games were amazing, regardless if you were one of those kids who used to skate all Saturday in the town centre wearing a Deftones hoodie, or if you were one of the kids that used to beat those kids up. It should be on here, really.
Why the hell is it missing? Like WipEout, it featured a lot of licenced music, and they’d also probably have to re-licence the likenesses of Hawk, Bob Burnquist, Chad Muska et al.
A girl!?!?! In a video game!???? Yes, Lara Croft was genuinely quite revolutionary at the time. Sure, there had been female protagonists in games before, but she was the first one to become a proper pop culture phenomenon. The game wasn’t too shabby, either.
Why the hell is it missing? Hard to say – plenty of other iconic third party franchises, like Resident Evil and Metal Gear Solid, are on the PlatStation Classic, so you’d think Lara would have been included as well.Gaming
