PlayStation platforming adventure game Ape Escape is part of the PlayStation Plus Premium collection of classic game titles, enhanced for PlayStation 4 with up-rendering, rewind, quick save, and custom video filters.

Ape Escape Originape Soundtracks by Soichi Terada is available for streaming on YouTube Music, Spotify and Amazon Music Unlimited. The Japan Studio title, developed in 1999, is among the earliest PlayStation games to make full use of the DualShock controller's twin analog sticks.

Studio album Asakusa Light by Terada ships on two analog records from The Rush Hour store in the Netherlands. The house music album, featured as Bandcamp's album of the day back in January, utilizes the same synthesizers and drum machines that featured in the composer's music produced in the 1990s, preceding his score for Ape Escape.
