One of my favourites from my childhood, the unique control scheme was truly ground-breaking. I've been wanting to play this again for years, hopefully I'll finally get to play it on PC!

Such a fun and quirky game! I remember playing this along with Spyro. They both scratched the exploration itch. It almost reminds me as an early Astrobot when it comes to silly scenarios and such. Would love to be able to play this again some day on PC!

My late cousin gifted me this game when I was 12. I didn't think much of it because it didn't seem all that interesting to me. Nevertheless, I booted it up on my playstation 2, and I'll never forget it. I found myself playing the entire rest of that night. And the following week. I even 100% completed it by the end of the month. It was genuinely one of the best platforming games I ever played, and after that, I played Ape Escape 2 and then later Ape Escape 3. I'll never forget how she introduced me to this game and it's a key memory for me regarding her. Whenever I was down or bored, I would boot up the game and smile the whole time. I want to have that feeling again, with all three Ape Escape games. I want to remember my childhood. Remember how to escape and find joy in the little things. I want to spend hours catching apes and collecting coins and cookies. I want to use the fun little gadgets they gave you every world. I want to fight Specter again. I want to do so much again.
I'm dreaming about play this game again! Me and my brothers had great moments with this story... Spike is one of the best characters of all times!! Please, bring it back to us! :D
