There’s a special place in my heart forApe Escape. It’s one of the first video games I remember buying. I played it for hours. Its combination of cool gadgets, goofy apes, and groundbreaking dual analog control scheme blew my middle school mind.
I didn’t keep up with the franchise afterApe Escape, outside of watching a fewApe Escape 2speedruns, but the latest video from Did You Know Gaming works as a crash course in the series’ history. There’s information about the origins ofApe Escape‘s dual analog controls, unused assets, and the series’ hidden pop culture references.
Plus, there’s some footage ofApe Escape‘s monkeys inMonster Rancher 4. Both of those franchises need to make a comeback.
