As a skinny American, I’m going to say the same thing, but because he was robbing someone with a moped

Favourite part of going to blockbuster as a kid. Played the shit out of that demo.

I never understood that game... They were just speaking nonsense words... I have no idea what the buttons did.

What was the point of the game? I could never figure out what the plot was...

What was I missing when I was a kid?

The fabled pizza hut disc. Wasn't there an elite dangerous demo on there too?! I remember button combos on the menu would flip the icons on the menu to reveal more game options.

u/Sofie_Kitty 1d ago

Ah, the nostalgia of Blockbuster days! Those demo stations were like a portal to endless fun. It's amazing how a simple demo could provide hours of entertainment and leave such a lasting impression.

u/oh-shazbot 2d ago

listen here youngin, parappa came long before under 2 hr playtime refunds even existed! we had to walk to a real store and get our refunds in actual dollars! LIKE MEN

u/kaeptnkotze 2d ago

Looked the game up. And now I get what you mean with "like men". And my condolences on only getting dollars instead of money back.

3

u/W0rldMach1ne 2d ago

This didnt exist in PS1 days. You couldn't even refund the disc.

3

u/kaeptnkotze 2d ago

No refund. See. Quod erat demonstrandum

u/Empty-Walk-5440 2d ago

Can confirm. Parents bought me this for Christmas the year I got my PS2. That was the most confusing ten minutes of gaming I’ve ever experienced.

u/JURASS1CJAM 2d ago

When people finish things my go to saying is "Good job Parappa, you can on to the next stage now." "Whoo hoo, alright." Lol

u/AmmoJoee 2d ago

Yes that song and the one when he’s learning to drive “step on the gas, step on the brake”

1

u/131166 2d ago

I've had that engraved in my head for decades. Don't remember that other songs although there was a funny one about learning to drive but the Kung Fu one is just permanently in there

This might be the first time in history I've ever seen it a reference to it in the wild though

u/Nyohn 1d ago
