This game, in its time, was revolutionary to me. I had never experienced anything like it. I didn't know that this was what video games could be. It was like an interactive Saturday morning cartoon, but a really weird one, packed with absurdist humour that had me laughing out loud on a consistent basis. All the songs were total earworms that had me singing the lyrics on the way to school. The metric used for whether you were doing well or not seemed wildly unfair and downright random, but I didn't care. Failing and replaying a 'level' again meant that I got to replay a level again.

Thanks for the memories Parappa.
