Platform games have always been one of the most popular genres. From the 8 and 16bit height of popularity there have been many great gaming icons such as Mario, Sonic, Monty Mole and more. Following on from those, Crash, Spyro, Rayman, Ratchet & Clank helped move the genre forward.

In this episode Paul and Chris discuss the genre and discover the a platform game may not be that cut and dry to describe as games such as Metroid, Castlevania and others are discussed whether or not they can be seen as platforming games.

Obviously there are games that aren't discussed but we want you the listeners to get involved in the debate.
