Ape Escape Playthrough Part 1: Spike Quickly Learns the Art of Catching Monkeys

[Fever06contra]

Lol I miss playing this game when I was a kid.

[OnlyUseMehBladez]

NOSTALGIAAAAAAAAA!

[VashDraven]

This & Medievil are the only two PSX games i still own. They're too special to me to ever sell xD Though it's odd to listen to the American version.

[waabaakii]

CHILDHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOD

[CrashB111]

Downloading a PS1 Emulator so I can play this again. Really got a jonesing for it here recently.

[Buttooon1]

Memories...

[TheBatmanSmells]

I loved this game when I was little :)

[nickstanger]

This has been my favorite game ever since i was like 3 xD

[xboxfanuk]

i will always remember the weird run.

[Tu0mo]

I loved this game and Crash Team Racing soooo much

[Tu0mo]

00:45 the most evil smile EVER.

[ZenakuShinigami]

this brings me back

[Mrgrimm9991]

<{8(|)  <---- monkey

[5xSBchamp32]

i forget. is this just a 1 player game?

[the8bitgamer]

@5xSBchamp32 The actual "campaign" part of the game is 1-player, but you can play the minigames with another friend.

[SinataSeries]

I would have watched all the way through if you'd left the voices as they were.

[the8bitgamer]

@SinataSeries Oh no! 2-minutes worth of audio was altered from the entire playthrough, therefore it is unwatchable.

[SinataSeries]

@the8bitgamer Are you saying that you aren't playing Spike in the rest of the cutscenes?

[the8bitgamer]

@SinataSeries I'll go with "yes".

[Machoked]

I'm gonna LP this game first thing as soon as I get a capture card =)

[jesse6669]

Why did they tie up Professor Oak?

[wmichelin]

i loved this game so much

[alexpatrick14]

OMG i remember this@! i had so much fun with this game

[LemonZeppelin]

I love this game. DLed it for ePSXe but forgot that you need the actual PS1 controller to play it. :( Oh well, no Ape Escape for me...

[atenetua]

omg i fuckin love this game!!!!!!!!!

[IntrinsicNature]

Wow and I thought the UK voice actors were bad. LOL. Awesome game though

[insertwittyusername]

NOSTALGIA

[Shyolite]

This game is nostalgic man......

[vaultboygilbert]

I used to love this game when I was little

[boxerjamie27]

i remember that i was 6 now im 14 lol i wish i still had it

[lozzy0933]

American version is better than uk

[araregoodguy]

this is like the psx answer to mario 64 - not a bad effort either

[disillusioning]

wow, talk about a blast from the past ahaha :p i want to play this again now D:

[animelover10I]

Wait so is this the same as ape escape:on the loose

[xxSyphenxx]

one of the best things about ape escape is that they monkeys eyes are always popped.. its so funny.. i love that

[xxSyphenxx]

10:05 the green thing in the background is like

DID HE JUST MOTHERFUCKING TELEPORT?!!?

[xxSyphenxx]

(ps1 in my lap) those were the days old buddy..

[TheSonicAmigos]

aw man, the memories with this game. Awesomeness.

[jjk1997]

i could never get under the waterfall i duno if its because the control is fucked after all these years or im just shit XD

[crazy20164]

Look at that AMAZING polygon count!1

[bigdaddysmackdown]

lol the voices don't match at all lol sounds like teens in two ten year old bodies lol

[MrSovietMudkip]

LOVED this fucking game!!!!!!!!

[BlackPheonix81]

I think this was the first game I played that used the Analog sticks on the PS1.

I found it so hard back then. Playing it recently. It was so easy xD

[BigBroA7X]

Best game ever...

No matter how many times I frustrated myself playing this as a kid, I never got rid of it.

I think I might need to go searching for my Playstation.

[dominic970]

omfa this game was the mothafukin shyyyt!!!!

[ShakinJamacian]

Man, how is this one of the best selling franchises EVER? I'm not saying because the game's bad or anything, but these games always come off as under the radar games outside of Japan.

[DarkprinX2500]

@ShakinJamacian APE ESCAPE ....FTW.. my favorite game ever!!!

[bulletforme123]

Wow, I remember playing this as a kid...Seems like so long ago, That was the life.

[Katonics]

i wish i still had this game... or they had a version for ps3.. cuz i would buy it..

[WideR31]

mann....i miss the old games on ps1, like this, and tomba......dang everything was better back in the day

[TheKillerkaj]

Aww. This bring back memmories

[lbjoshbal]

so cool. i played this when i was 8 or something. didn't get to fully understand the game but now these playthroughs will help with that.

[canoncat3]

epic game transitions, strangely that and the cookies health bar were the two things i remember from it....

[the8bitgamer]

@canoncat3 Thanks! You probably remember the cookies, notably, because cookies are awesome.

[canoncat3]

=,( I loved this game so much and now i dont have a ps1 anymore

[itachi1341212]

i miss my ape escape :(

[EananC]

NOSTALGIA

[Turbotont]

I have to say, the voices are a lot different than how i remember them. They weren't voiced as badly at least. Still, it's a great game and i'm looking forward for the other episodes.

[IXSuperRadGamerXI]

I remember scanning a monkey somewhere it said "Needs a new pair of Underwear" was some monkey in a prison cell thingy. This game kicks ass.

[ReckTheSacredPoet]

The look on those monkeys faces when they see you coming from them always made me laugh everytime. #Priceless

[the8bitgamer]

@Gepp1993 I shall now make the like/dislike bar disappear, and make it look like nothing happened!

trololol~

[Lilskittles321]

This is the first video ive seen without any dislikes...

[core07aoa]

were you playing this on a ps1 emulator or ps1?

[the8bitgamer]

@core07aoa I rarely do emulators. This was on the actual console.

[core07aoa]

@the8bitgamer oh OK thanks

[xbox360masterofgames]

and i always thought the health bar looked like knuckles made out of some kind of chips. i love listening to this games music cuz its been so long i forgot

[xbox360masterofgames]

BEST MEMORIES EVER. i remeber as a kid, being extremely afraid of that stinging giant fish monster in the one level

[xxSyphenxx]

@xbox360masterofgames OH MY GOD THE NIGHTMARES!!!

[MrAbyan21]

damn i loved this game so much,good old times =D

[theawesomejesy]

Belive it or not i still have thise game... if someone else haves thise YOU GOTTA TELL ME!!!

[Thrashead666]

@theawesomejesy I've got two copies of it haha

[stalinisnumber1]

SO MUCH NOSTALGIA

[happyzombiegoasts123]

GAH I LOST MY COPY!!!!!!!

also... are there like different voices for each country? i seem to remember my one having higher pitched voices.... maybe its my memory being retarded....

[Hason709]

i miss this game soo much but indeed it was a pain in the ass

[jjjase508]

Back in the days when video games were actually hard.

[jjjase508]

Stun Club > Lightsabre

[MrSackOCrack]

@jjjase508 word.

[Stube437]

best thing about this game is the music.

[JoshuaRAWRR]

Gah, the american voice.

Other than that, this game is brilliant.

[syprnc]

lochness monster ftw!

[syprnc]

man i love this game series. i remember that moment when i caught them in the net was the best feeling ever.

[amateur1314]

I remember having the Japanese version and not understanding a thing that was going on. 8-D Best. Game. Ever.

[eateroftheflame]

The only bad thing about this game was the awful voice acting, the exception being Specter's awesome voice on the British version.

[tuuplis]

The music is AWESOME. .. Can I download this game and play it on my old PS1?

[joshshing609]

I miss this game. I'd still play it

[lastwordgoodbye]

I found this game to be really scary when I was little.. :D But I'm glad I've got it still ! (: Haven't played it in many years though.. o.O our ps1 is broken.. :(

[ratchet5ify]

5:21 nice one faggot

[the8bitgamer]

@ratchet5ify Positive comment + negative one = neutral. Therefore, a witty remark towards you isn't necessary. :P

[ratchet5ify]

@the8bitgamer actually 2 negative comments (ever heard of sarcasm?) how can you post a vid of failing on the first level?

[the8bitgamer]

@ratchet5ify Have some humor, dude. I'm the ones that's messing with you. :P

There really is no way to show sarcasm on the Internet, since it's based on the tone of voice.

I cleared the first level, making one small mistake. Too bad it was all recorded in one go, so you can't please them all, huh. :P

[ratchet5ify]

@the8bitgamer fail on your part, still.

[the8bitgamer]

@ratchet5ify It can't be helped, huh. My mistake. :P

[jackloveshisangelo]

@ratchet5ify shut your massive anus you complete an utter dick

[ratchet5ify]

@jackloveshisangelo get lost cunt, he fails at this game

[jackloveshisangelo]

@ratchet5ify you fail at being a likable human being, get the fuck of youtube you sad, sad human being

[ratchet5ify]

@jackloveshisangelo actually, it's fun to annoy you and make you swear and get angry.

[jackloveshisangelo]

@ratchet5ify not really angry, just saddened by the fact there are humans as anus like as you.

[ratchet5ify]

@jackloveshisangelo saddened then, it's fun to sadden you and make you swear.

[jackloveshisangelo]

@ratchet5ify fair enough, I've made my point so I have no more to say.

[the8bitgamer]

@ratchet5ify But...I beat it two years ago. lol

[ratchet5ify]

@the8bitgamer it's just so fun winding you up.

[the8bitgamer]

@ratchet5ify I'm just making replies. No point in "winding up" on the Internet, especially. :P

[the8bitgamer]

@ratchet5ify Reverse psychology for the win! xD

[ratchet5ify]

@the8bitgamer no, i'm not annoyed, you are.

[the8bitgamer]

@ratchet5ify Nope! :P

[KingMickey358]

dude this game looks beast lol im totally getting it



[opzan1]

Man i loved this game... but it disappeared, somehow.

[neoprana]

I really loved this game .. they say controller was a pain and and and ... but that one of the best games I ever played !

[AniSmilez]

I remember playing this all the time with my big bro when i was little. We gave it away with our ps1 so i miss it a whole lot and i have no idea what happened to our ape escape 2. so now we only have ape escape 3 and pumped and prime. i miss the old days when we had all those good games like this, crash bandakoot, and gex

[DjbShadow17]

i am only 18 and i remember playing this a long long time ago with my sister she used to get angry at me cause i would put her of and nag her to let me have a turn they should make a new one on all platforms YEA!!!!

[DoubleOhNo0b]

i have this game and i still play it on my ps2 ALOT more than i play Black ops on my ps3, nostalgia ftw.

[TheSDRap]

i had a demo of this game for the ps1. many angry memories comin back...

[spellgalen808]

im so downloading this game on an emulator. (dont have my ps1 eny more )=) i just love this gam man! i wish iv keppt my ps 2 as well so that i culd play ape escape 2 or 3 )=

[TheOriginalvgamenut]

@Kryssy128 yea, but it wasn't really a full remake..... it had nearly the same graphics as the PS1 version..... i was saying that they should make a TOTAL remake of the same exact game on PS3 with PS3 graphics..... not just upscaled PS1 graphics.....

[Casonjia12]

This game was my childhood. Nostalgia ftw.

[frylock1998]

0:02 XD

[the8bitgamer]

@frylock1998 The...clip of Donkey Kong 3? A tad bit random, I say.

[azumanga]

I love the music in this game!

[Cpmyppproductions]

omg this game perfected graphics and gameplay. i wish my game works :(

[AAAAAAdddddrrri]

this game was so good whis i still had it best game in the world

[ryonafan]

i loved this game very much , can't remember how old i was...

[MartinGordon100]

THIS. GAME. WAS. THE. SHIZ

[CoreysOldLady]

lol that thing at 10:07 was like 0o0 wth?

[OhSheeshYallTAD]

Oh man, nostalgia FTW.

[xXBeeDeeXx]

I love this game.

This is when I first realized that you can press down the analog sticks lol

[MEGAGUY21]

i love the game

love the voices, love the gameplay,love love LOVE THIS GAME!!!

why did this game vanish from my procession??!!

i want it back so bad:(

[spellgalen808]

@MEGAGUY21 ther is one way u can get it back but it requers u to do somthing a little iligal (but seriusly. u wont get cought) u can use a ps1 emulator on ur pc and play it from ther (higly recomend u use a logiteck controler tp play this games. ESPECILY this one) it make take some time get used to emulators but after a while ul get the hang of it.

[MEGAGUY21]

@spellgalen808 i thought about doing that but i got a crappy pc :(

so it won't work so well. thanks for the tip tho...

[spellgalen808]

@MEGAGUY21 AMD Athlon(tm 64 procerssor

3000+

2.00 GHz 1.00 gb ram

PEA (pysical addres extension

thats what my pc has and every emulated game iv playd on my pc (exept those roms/isos that are broken) have worked fine for me.

[SSwipperSS]

i miss this game so bad, can someone tell me how to get this =/ i got epsxe and all configurations and bios, but cant play it something wrong with dualshock 2 remotes.

[brownberry20]

I grew up on this game...i hate video games now but this was one game that i was in love with

[TheRetaliation18]

This was the first game I ever beat! :DD

[thepepis]

i just watched this video cuz it brought back so many memories

[Sephiroth1984]

This was the PlayStation's answer to Mario 64

[PTDarkSonic]

i miss this game i want to play it right now!

[TheLollygagger]

This brought back SO many memories. I loved this game. I fell in love with it while playing the demo, and asked for it for my birthday.

Looking back, it probably wasn't the best game in the world.....but the hours I spent on it and putting myself in the game made it worth it. Sort of like Pokemon, actually.

You either think this game is fun, or you think it's obnoxious. There really isn't an in between....

[fruitikay]

I remember this game being a pain in the ass.

[the8bitgamer]

@fruitikay Really? I suppose slipping on bananas, and having monkeys shoot/slap you was rather annoying.

[fruitikay]

@the8bitgamer Just going after the freakin monkeys was just annoying to me. XD

[phenomenom20]

@fruitikay Lol yeah it was I'd be pissed when I couldn't figure out how to get some fucking monkey behind a wall or door or something fuuucking asshole!

[QN811]

How does the professor have Alzheimer's?

[RAAB0601]

just orderd this game from ebay. i rented it and loved it a long time ago i cant wait to play it haha

[TheOriginalvgamenut]

@the8bitgamer Yea, it looks ok....... Definitely not nearly as fun as the other kind of Ape Escape games, but it's a nice spinoff, & the PSMove doesnt really have that many good games yet, so it could redeem it...

[TheOriginalvgamenut]

@the8bitgamer Ok, i found out about the new Ape Escape game..... It's not a remake of the first one or Ape Escape 4.... It's a Playstation Move exclusive game coming next year called "Ape Escape: Fury Fury" It looks fun i guess..... There's gameplay on Youtube from TGS2010

[the8bitgamer]

@TheOriginalvgamenut That sounds...fun?

Oh man...I'm...lost for words now. lol

[Kryssy128]

@TheOriginalvgamenut The original was remade for the PSP though.

[TheOriginalvgamenut]

@the8bitgamer Oh, then it's probably just Ape Escape 4 like you said...... Sorry for getting your hopes up, but i still would enjoy Ape Escape 4 for PS3. I Liked Ape Escape 3 a lot.... & 2 was ok i guess... The first is still the best though... =)

[TheOriginalvgamenut]

@the8bitgamer Not that this is great proof, but on Gamestop's Website, in their catelog, in the coming soon section for PS3, it has a game called Ape Escape. See For Yourself

gamestop(dot)COM/Catalog/Produ­ctDetails(dot)aspx?product_id=­78532

[the8bitgamer]

@TheOriginalvgamenut This is decent evidence of a new AE game, indeed.

The thing is, there has been word that AE4 plans to be released for the PS3 in 2011 as well. So unless two AE games are coming next year, I think that date was meant for Ape Escape 4.

[TheOriginalvgamenut]

OMG! Anyone hear about the Ape Escape Remake on PS3??? (It's a remake with PS3 Graphics, at least i think that's what it is.....)

[the8bitgamer]

@TheOriginalvgamenut I need proof on the remake information, as much as I want to believe you. I hope you're not getting confused with AE4 coming out in 2011.

[rubenmorales19]

Graphics suck compared to the N64. But it's still a good game.

[the8bitgamer]

@rubenmorales19 Graphics don't mean a thing to me.

A game can look beautiful, but still be an all-around horrible game.

[charvelman123]

this is the best game ever made

[rubenmorales19]

@charvelman123 You haven't played Zelda have you?

[charvelman123]

@rubenmorales19 nope

[shaulynnxoxo]

lol i played this game when i was 4 (:

im almost 15 now

old memories x

[Churroization]

I played this when I was 7. I still have my PS1, but I don't know if I have the disk for it.

I loved playing in that carnivorous forest or whatever.

[KCBeasty]

Ahh damn i remember back weni got this wen i was 5 in 2000, goood memories when i was younger with this game ape escape is the bomb love every sevond of itt lmao . I miss ps1:[

[shadowhog777]

Wait.....is this where Yugi's hairstyle is form?

[VertSk8er12]

oh my god does this bring back memories.

[WaffleSandwiches]

nolllstalllgiaaaa

[Quadraxon]

Yeah, come to think of it. Oh man, the memories, oh my god. Back when K-Mart had this game demo up...@.@ memories. But their voices in that demo were kiddish, and the one i actually bought, their voices sounded older.

[big973e]

this game is fun but it starts to get mad annoying because of how sensitive the controls are to the analog sticks.....it took me an hour to get past the training level where you learn to fly because i didnt make a complete turn on my right stick and i kept fallin out the sky

[pythor2]

10:10 WTF *o*

[ArmyGedd0n]

10:09 - the kid escaped O.O

[kirby2137]

ape escape AHHH love it

[xzGIANTzx]

Ahh ... Memories of my ps1 good ol graphics

[KCIDvGIBvATTOGi]

this game needs to come out on fucking ps1 classics already

[fxgamer0809]

ps1 was si fucking awesome...

[zzzkylezzz]

i loved this game so much wen i had lyk 5 years ago if not more i enjoyd it more then any game that is out nowadays

[ignitedude]

Wasn't this Sony's attempt to provide something similar to Super Mario 64?

[drainide]

I had a version where the characters had cute british accents

[the8bitgamer]

@drainide One can sound cute, but not professional at the same time.

I just found "Buzz" to sound off. Though, I'll admit that the UK's Specter sounds like a hardcore badass.

[MrWebbyD]

Anyone possible to get their hands on an mp3 of the music when he is training with the water net? That shit is chillout

[6craze]

damn monkeys i was tha king in this game lol graphics were awsome back then

[peterman081]

galaxy monkey mini game is amazing and final spector boss (final get) is sooo easy i thought it was hard when i was 7 or summit coz i couldnt get past trick castle :)

[haydeepooh97]

i saw psp version and playstation store
