Developed by Eurocom Developments and published by Sony, Crash Bash arrived on the PlayStation in 2000 as a board, card or party game. It blends board, card & party and action elements.

It landed about 5 years into the PS1's life. Other notable PS1 releases from 2000 include Final Fantasy IX, Rayman 2: The Great Escape and Spyro: Year of the Dragon. Among the 15 PS1 board, card & party games in our database, it ranks #1 by legacy score.

It is part of the Crash Bandicoot series; on the PS1 you can also try Crash Bandicoot, Crash Team Racing and Crash Bandicoot: Warped. The series also appears on other systems with Crash Bandicoot 2: N-Tranced (GBA) and Crash Bandicoot: The Huge Adventure (GBA). Eurocom Developments also made War Gods for the PS1.

Crash Bash supports up to 2 players, whether that means taking turns or going head-to-head.
