Skullmonkeys (1998)
Genres:Platform
Themes:Action, Horror
Game modes:Single player
Story:Something has gone seriously wrong in Klayman's homeland -- Klogg, an evil megalomaniac, wants to destroy the land and basically rule over anything and everyone. Because the task can get difficult at times, he has enlisted the service of fearsome ape-like creatures, Skullmonkeys, to aid in the destruction of planet Idznak. Needless to say, it is up to the player to stop Klogg and his devious plans.
Much like The Neverhood, Skullmonkeys is a 2D platformer built entirely of Claymation characters, enemies, and environments. Throughout the game's seven worlds spanning ninety levels, the basic objective of each is to destroy as many Skullmonkeys as possible. Destroying the simians can be done one of two ways: firing projectile weapons or butt-bouncing off their heads.Show more

The charming and challenging platformer sequel to The Neverhood that's been sadly forgotten by time. The handmade claymation art style and fun music make it an audiovisual delight as well!
I had Skullmonkeys on PS1. I didn't know until years later. This was a follow up to a game called The Neverhood. Some of those people later came back to make Armikrog. Which I recently gotten in a ridiculously huge Christmas GOG purchase. I'm a sucker for clay animation as a whole. One of my absolute favorite shows was MTV's Celebrity Deathmatch. I also grew up with a few ClayFighter games as well. This had to been the single strangest PS1 game I had growing up. The game is so unexpected as well as some strangely interesting. You quickly become curious to see what else is in the game. Virtually Skullmonkeys is a game I can't compare to many games. I always remembered the clay animation within the cut scenes. The usage of audio as a whole really sells you on this game. This possibly the weirdest platformer of the 90s. In all honestly, if you're a fan of The Neverhood, clay animation or want something different. You better believe Skullmonkeys truly delivers. I actually do believe this game would sell well on here. People forget the 90s had some rather unique stuff that always stuck with people.
One of my favotire psx games. It was funny and weird at the same time. Clay animation was wonderful and the game was quite difficult. Back in those days I didn't know it was a sequel.
I just discovered the existence of this game quite recently from a Youtuber that I watch and now this game makes me really want it with its particular universe and especially with its artistic direction in stop motion (or modeling clay)
Sly 2: Band of ThievesSly 2: Band of Thieves is a stealth-action platformer developed by Sucker Punch Productions and released for PlayStation 2 in 2004.

The story takes place two years after Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus. In the first game, Sly was becoming a professional thief, but in Band of Thieves, he is a professional thief, so he retains all of the moves from the first game. He also earns new moves and gains different items to assist him in his dark craft. Players might start a level as Sly, and then after completing a particular task, players switch to Bentley, and Murray, respectively.Action Comedy Stealth

WhiplashAlthough Redmond (the rabbit) and Spanx (the weasel) are two animals chained together, the gameplay is much like any other platformer. The player controls only Spanx, using Redmond as a weapon or tool as the situation requires. Spanx has most standard platforming abilities, while Redmond is completely indestructible as a result of tests conducted upon him and so can be hurled into security guards, jammed into machinery, and used as a grappling hook, among other uses. Redmond can be inserted into special outlets to be set on fire, frozen, or become radioactive.Action Comedy
Ruff 'N' TumbleRuff Rogers has lost his marbles - in the literal sense of the small round balls used to play a game on drains. He's been armed with a gun to retrieve them from 16 levels of side-scrolling platform shooting.
The gun you start with isn't especially powerful, but various machine guns and flamethrowers can be collected, which make much lighter work of the enemies. Your character can jump and duck responsively, and fire at all angles.
There are 3 different colours of marbles, which a quota to recover from each level. Collecting enough of each particular colour sees all similar ones turned to coins, which can go towards extra lives and points bonuses. Switches are built into the levels; these act as restart points.Action
