Reply to comment by wowbobwow in Nearly 30 years after playing one at a classmates house and thinking "OMG, I NEED THIS," I've got a Sega Saturn in my living room by wowbobwow

If you can find it, there's two game I loved as a kid

Bug!: essentially a platformer where you play as a green bug as they are filming a movie. I have a feeling they were trying to make him their platforms mascot similar to Mario but it didn't quite pan out.

Astal: side scrolling adventure where you and a bird try to save the main characters sister (iirc?). Great game. Memorable boss fights. And multiplayer where 1 plays as the main character and the other as the bird

Bug was incredible! I only had a demo disc of it and im not sure why we never got the full game but it was so much fun. I played it not long ago and could smell the smell of my old houses living room as i went through the first level. Such a trip down memory lane

I saw that there was a sequel for it, Bug Too! But I've honestly never seen in person. Just looked it up on ebay, christ that's and expensive sequel to pick up now

I have Bug Too! But never played Bug. Its a 3d platformer that i remember being infuriatingly hard.

Croc: legend of the gobbos was a much easier platformer

A cigarette at the moment, but that's not the point.

Sorry you feel that way about it? I remember quite enjoying it when I was younger. Was it ground breaking for its time, no. But it still provided me with lots of hours of entertainment.

Bug! was not a 1st party Sega game, I even had it on windows 95. Sega has Sonic, they weren't looking for a new mascot.

Astal is good, Bug! Is mediocre. Both are worth playing through, but Bug! isn't as good as you remember. The sequel, Bug Too! is slightly better. While you're playing mediocre/decent platformers, check out Clockwork Knight 1 & 2!
