Also, since Dr. Cortex is Crash's arch-nemesis, there really wouldn't be any rivalry between the Good and Evil sides if they weren't equal in capability. Then Naughty Dog decided to put N. Oxide into the game and gave him a major stat upgrade.
Well, DigDugDude was the guy who posted here a lot, and when he posted here we posted here, and when we posted here Ray and FireDragons (who has practically disappeared) would post here, and when the forum was full of activity, other people who would visit the PS1 boards would come and post here as well... It's just that all of those who made the forum jump with activity have moved on, and that's what gets this place so dull.
If you see me posting, it's because I've been asked to. Which I guess would mean I'm taking requests.
