I don't, apparently. 

Have you played Crash or Spyro before? I don't think many games from the late 90s in general hold up well today, considering that was when 3D first became a thing and developers didn't know how to implement it into their games. However, both series are still enjoyable today and are quite polished. They both had really great dev teams.

just played crash bandicoot (the 1996 original) for about an hour out of morbid curiosity. never again. it's amazing how much better jak and daxter is than the crash games. (and i don't even like jak and daxter.)

but that gets at my question: is it nostalgia? mechanically crash is unplayable today.

I couldn't be bothered to read the entire thread and maybe you've answered it, but that's it? You just played the first Crash?

Then it's no wonder you think like that, the first game is rather rough around the edges and hasn't aged that well.

Crash 2 and Crash 3 however are still great games. Crash 3 is actually my favorite platformer ever (no nostalgia attached)

 

And the fact you dislike Crash and Spyro but likes Klonoa, an incredibly average platformer, so much completely baffles me, but oh well.
