I hope I am putting this in the right forum, if not please move it. I just recently got into playing old Windows 95/98 games thanks to PCEM. Until now my PC gaming experince has only went back as far as Windows XP, before that I was strictly a console gamer. Anyway, my favorite gaming genre is platformers. And although I have found plenty of 2-d platformers for 95/98, the only 3-d platformers I have found are the GEX and Croc games. Could somebody please suggest some more. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

I played Shadowman when I was young. I still think it's a really cool and dark platformer for Windows 98.
Gex 3D: Enter the Gecko is also very good.

There also is a PC port of Jersey Devil and maybe Rayman 3 can run on your system, too.

I don't play Croc but i hear that one is good including on the consoles at the time, which is fair. No infamy (not being Bubsy) helps its case

i know this post is old, there's not a lot of 3-D platformers on Windows 95/98, aside from well known ones like "Rayman 2", "Croc 1 & 2", "Gex: Enter the Gecko", "Bugs Bunny: Lost in Time" it's sequel "Time Busters", "EarthWorm Jim 3D ", "Donald Duck: Goin' Qu@ckers", "Aladdin in Nasira's Revenge", the disney movie tie-ins like: "Toy Story 2", "A Bugs Life". but all of them are PC ports, come to think of it, i don't even know if there's a pc exclusive 3D platformer for windows 95/98 that im aware of. all of the ones i mentioned are originally a PSX or N64 titles that later got ported. sadly most of them are not easy to get running a modern hardware, I know that Rayman 2 is possible after patch
