Crash Bandicoot is a platform game made by Naughty Dog in 1996 for the PlayStation, featuring the character by the same name. In this title, Crash must fight Dr. Neo Cortex's henchmen in order to save Tawna, his beloved bandicoot girlfriend. This game was made when Naughty Dog had but ten employees. Somewhere southeast of Australia, there were three little islands, filled with marsupial life forms. However, two humans had been experimenting with the local furry creatures, in order to form a destructive and evil army of anthrophomorphized marsupials. Dr. N. Brio had created a machine called the Evolvo-Ray, but his ever pushy boss (and main series antagonist) took the credit. Dr. Neo Cortex had just kidnapped two regular bandicoots: one male and one female. They were then evolved. Both worked successfully, but then, Dr. Cortex had to insert them into his patented Cortex Vortex, a mind-controlling device to create evil henchmen. Finally, the evolved male bandicoot was inserted into the brain-draining machine, and... turned out to be an utter failure. Then that bandicoot (Crash) ran from an angry Cortex. He accidentally broke through a window in his attempt to get away and fell into the sea. But Tawna (the other bandicoot, and his girlfriend) was still in Cortex's clutches. When Crash washes up on the beach of his home island, he sets out to save Tawna before Cortex can do anything terrible to her.
