    Just noticed this small mention.

    PN-03 is not a platformer in any way shape or form, it's more based upon old-style score-based Shmups, especially with the beautiful "No Miss" bonus you recieve upon completion of a room with no hits.
    It lacks anything that could MAKE it a platformer, with very minimal platform action and the game based pretty much entirely on shooting and dodging hits.

    That is not to say it isn't a good game, I certainly enjoy it, it has an awful lot of style, but it isn't a platformer.

    Jak and Daxter looked fun. I loved Spyro 1-3.

    Actually platforming was the heart of Sands of Time. The battles were just minor engagements you had to get through in order to reach the next huge platforming area. And that's how I like it.

    They are dead, because no one is playing them.

    People WOULD be bored of PSX platformers because the only PSX games produced now are hopeless Yu-Gi-Oh and Duel Masters games, Crash spread onto the GBA and PS2, but nobody bought the games because they were just the same old over again.

    You're a real gaming anachronism.

    I've always looked to the past for good platformers rather than to the future.

    2D platformers win over 3D, side-scrolling style though, not necessarily 2D graphics.

    Also, Mischief Makers is the best platformer ever, no arguments or you die.
