So glad you started off your music with the best PS1 franchise. Crash Bandicoot is about a third of my total PS1 playtime and 3/4 of it when I was a kid. I've found other games like Metal Gear Solid and Castlevania SotN which I loved, but the console just never clicked for me like it did with so many others. A lot of games like Resident Evil and any Final Fantasy on the console feel like games you had to play at the time to really appreciate.
I'm just going to give two game for Stage Select, but it's an idea I really want to see someone do: The Legend of Zelda meets Sly Cooper. Replace dungeons with heist jobs and have you get all the items fairly early. You then roam around an overworld gaining intel on the heist job until you feel you have enough to start the plan.
From there, it will limit how many items you bring and force you to use the intel to pick the correct items. You'll use the items to disable security systems and sneak past guards to get the treasure. Have it based around a mix of stealth and puzzle solving, forcing you to improvise if you didn't bring the correct items, which will cause you to get less money at the end of the heist at best if this happens.Â
The other is something you'll only like if you like sports: A beat em up where your character wears your favorite team's gear or you play as any of their players. You then pick whatever teams you want to be the enemies and spend the whole game beating up their fans with the mascots and players as bosses. So if Angelo played this he'd be in Yankee gear beating up a bunch of Red Sox fans. Would be a hit and work with just about any sport.
