And then there is Elf / Ocean which is some kind of "Magicland Dizzy" when comes to ...errr... puzzles

.
Does anyone know any further good puzzling platformers?

I personally like Fantastic Dizzy, which is a huge game. Heck, it even scrolls! And also try Fury Of The Furries, which is excellent.

For the amiga I must say great giana sisters. I spent a lot of time on that one.

If you include MAME I would have to say robocop. Me and a classmate of mine back in highschool would be skipping class just so that we could play it. We use to play it so much that we could complete the entire game on 1 quarter. approx 45 min.

I wish the coin-op scene was as lively now as it was back then.

I'm not counting platform shoot-em-ups like Turrican or Super Metroid here.

MSX: King's Valley
c64: giana sisters
Amiga: Lost Vikings, Blues Brothers, Chuck Rock... very tough choice
PC: Claw by Monolith (possibly the last 2d platform game released on the pc?)
GB: mario land 2
GBA: dunno. Haven't played a NEW platform game on it yet.
NES: mario 1
SNES: super mario world, 2 player game through zsnes netplay
sega: sonic 1
N64: tough choice between Super Mario 64 and Banjo Tooie
Atari 2600: some pac-man like game with a bear. Can't remember the name.
Playstation 1: Crash Bandicoot 2
Playstation 2: Jak & Daxter

Don't think I played games on other systems...
