I never played them as a kid and bought the trilogy remaster when that came out so I’m judging the series with zero nostalgia applied.
Personally I think Crash 1 is solid but far from perfect. Uneven difficulty, clunky physics, repetitive level design, The second game, however, was superb. Third game had a lot of strange gimmick levels but also a lot of brilliant levels. Overall in terms of platformer trilogies definitely give me the DKC trilogy and Spyro trilogy over this, but there’s a lot to love here. Since this poll is only for Crash 1 I’m voting 3/5. Solid game, but not a classic to me. Cortex Strikes Back would get the classic label from me though for sure
