Game Informer (1997) Game Informer wanted to showcase one of Crash's new vehicles in Crash 2, the Jetpack. They also wanted it fast. Additionally, they wanted Crash to be naked. We gave it to them. Unfortunately, at the last minute they switched from the naked jetpack Crash to this image, which they also had. |
|
Game Fan (1997) The guys at Game Fan wanted something different. They also wanted Tiny to be in it. This is one of our favorite images because Crash is showing a different emotion than most of the other covers. The angle is also really cool. |

 |
PS Extreme (1997) Most call him the baby bear, some call him "snow beaver". Whatever you call the little guy, you love him. Crash, it should be pointed out, will hurt himself pretty badly when he lands. This image was done by Axiom. |
|
Official US PlayStation Magazine (1997) If you turn this magazine cover upside-down you'll see it the way we originally rendered it. The OPM guys wanted the image flipped. So we asked them to simply print their entire magazine upside-down instead, leave the image the way we did it, and let the reader flip the finished mag. They agreed. |

Hyper PlayStation (1997) Our second Japanese cover! The Crash on motorcycle you see here is a photo of a scale model, about 12 inches high, which a fan built for the magazine. The precision work, especially in the motorcycle, is truly amazing. The Hyper PlayStation guys gave the model to Naughty Dog when we did our press tour of Japan. It is on prominent display in our new offices! |
|
Weekly TV Gamer (1997) This was our first Japanese cover. The rendering of Crash was done by Sony Computer Entertainment Japan. We liked it so much that we incorporated some of the features into the game model for "Crash Bandicoot: Warped." |

 |
Official UK PlayStation Magazine (1997) These guys have supported Crash from the beginning. We read their magazine, which has a humongous distribution just shy of the New York Times', to keep up on UK goings on in the Biz. |
|
Official France PlayStation Magazine (1997) Crash has received a huge amount of success in France, as well as many other European territories. We're really proud to have our character succeed in France because some of our favorite characters as children, like Asterix & Obelix, Lucky Luke, and Tintin, were created by brilliant French artists like Uderzo and Herge'. |

 |
Electronic Gaming Monthly (June, 1997) One year after receiving his first magazine cover, Crash has returned to the forefront of gaming news. This cover spotlights one of Crash's new moves...the belly-flop. |
|
Ultra Game Players (June, 1997) Crash's first second cover. The first Crash Bandicoot Ultra Game Players issue was the magazine's biggest seller. Can this Crash issue replace the king? |
 |
 |
PlayStation Power (1996) This is a great UK mag. We especially like their reviews. The Crash on a rocket is one of our favorite images. It was originally created for a huge 4x5 foot launch poster for Crash 1. |
