Astal is good, Bug! Is mediocre. Both are worth playing through, but Bug! isn't as good as you remember. The sequel, Bug Too! is slightly better. While you're playing mediocre/decent platformers, check out Clockwork Knight 1 & 2!

NiGHTS first and foremost. An absolute masterpiece. Panzer Dragoon Saga (it isn't overhyped, it genuinely is as good as "legend" says it is), & Magic Knight Rayearth. They are all phenomenal games. Play through Panzer Dragoon 1 & 2, rip the rest of the Working Designs library, enjoy the 2D fighters, the arcade conversions, etc. The library is phenomenal.

You absolutely have to spend A LOT of time with NiGHTS. Play through Panzer Dragoon Saga, play through Magic Knight Rayearth (at least once; I play through yearly, around Christmas), then there are a ton of fighters, play Burning Rangers, some great Working Designs RPGS/SRPGS. The system had SOOO many once in a lifetime time games. You HAVE to play NiGHTS (a ton), PDS, & MKRayearth, though. Enjoy the system; it makes me the gamer I am today.
