Fury of the Furries (73 votes)
One of the best platformer games ever. You control one of the furry Tinies on a quest to rescue a king. The gameplay was considered to be very unique back then. Basically you can change a color of your furry friend and thus gain different abilities. Yellow can shoot fireballs, green can produce rope and swing around or use it to pull some blocks, red can eat some blocks and finally blue can dive and shoot bubbles to defeat water enemies. You can choose any color in every level! In some levels you are restricted to one or several colors in others you will find gates that will change the availability of a specific color - if you can't use let's say green, after crossing this gate you'll be allowed to do so. But if you can access it then after crossing it green will become restricted. The game has 8 worlds and each of them consists of 10 levels. Each level is unique in its design. Music, artstyle and most important of all - gameplay focus is changed in every world. In a forest you can expect a lot of green action, swinging a rope, long jumps etc. Lagoon is obviously the world of a blue Furry and pyramid levels are full of nasty traps and secret passages. The game contains a lot of cool pop-culture references like Dune universe, Indiana Jones, Shakespeare, Pac-man, Batman, Star Wars, Little Red Riding Hood, Jaws, Milka chocolate, Dracula and possibly many more! The game was also released with changed graphics as Pac-In-Time (Pac Man as a protagonist). Seriously, this game is great! Trine is pretty often compared to The Lost Vikings whereas it's clearly more similar to Fury of the Furries (In The Lost Vikings each character is present at the same time while in Trine you can switch them as you go, just like in Fury of the Furries). Long story short - I can wholeheartedly recommend it!
