Well I did give a few platformers for 99 but as I have already picked 2, I don't think I can help but if others are struggling, there is Oddworld: Abes Oddysey, Spyro 2, Rayman 2, Ape Escape...

Why can't life be like gaming? Why can't I restart from an earlier checkpoint??
Feel free to add me but please send a message so I know where you know me from...
@BAMozzy: Which one do you like the best. Thanks Bam.

Personally I have a soft spot for Spyro. I prefer the 3D platformers anyway as I think that extra dimension adds much more and you can't discount the fact that Spyro was a cute dragon and that alone would make it my preferred choice but like I said I have picked 2 so maybe someone else could choose. I know 99 didn't have many platformers and some may not know that these were released in that year so only offered these to help someone else choose.

I had difficulty trying to remember any platformer from '99, Spyro 2 was the only one I could think of. Not many platformers were released in that year, that's for sure.
@BAMozzy: Ahhh that's ok man. Ape Escape would be my choice, although it wasn't great. Didn't play Spyro 2 - number 1 was fun what I can remember of it.
@Tasuki - I see what you mean, as its more of an editing tool than a fully fledged entree in the series but it has a game included, albeit levels made within the editor.
@kyleforrester87: This may sound weird but I think I've played dk64 but can't remember it - like at all. All I can see is the snes game.

@kyleforrester87: Same with LBP I wouldn't call that a platformers either. They are almost like simulation games. But it's @themcnoisy list so he says they are and that's all that matters.

@kyleforrester87: DK64 wasn't really good. It was a tedious fetch quest. The 2D games are a lot better in my opinion. And although I fond memories of Croc (2), platforming is really awkward in that game. I tried going back to tha game last year, but the controls have aged terrible, it's not even fun anymore. Don't know if the PS1 ports were better, but the PC version certainly isn't lol.
