Ep.64 – Kick. Punch. Its All In The Mind

Parappa the Rapper (1996)

We look back at Parappa the Rapper, originally released for the original PlayStation on November 17, 1997 to North American gamers. We travel back to the early careers of co-creators, Masaya Matsurra and Rodney Alan Greenblatt to tell the story of how PaRappa came to be. As part of our story, we'll look back at the Pippin Atmark gaming console, and top-secret Sony gaming team, Division Zero. We'll talk about PaRappa's brief stint as Sony's mascot right before we talk about our own experiences with the game. Join us for a rhythmic trip down Memory Card Lane.
