Pleased with the review for BubbleBack in the latest Crash. 83%, that's our highest yet.
I think the sound should be over 90% though. (I can say that as it wasn't something I did 😉)

Counterpoint. It was a dreadful premise where a horrible bloke had the gift of time travel bestowed upon him, and he was so devoid of imagination and basic decency that and the only thing he could think of to do with it was cheat on his wife.

The first game is one I'd never heard of before, but is an absolute cracker. An early Ocean 16k game called "Transversion".
