Apes In The Net 2025 Edition by Far East Recording pressed on red vinyl
Far East Recording's Apes In The Net EP features reconstructed and remastered Ape Escape music by FantaVision composer Soichi Terada.
❝Ape Escape marked a significant milestone for the PlayStation, as it was the first game to require use of the PlayStation's DualShock (analog) controller. In Ape Escape, the use of the analog sticks goes beyond camera rotation and acts as an extension of Kakeru's (Spike's) own character, controlling his many gadgets like the stun club, time net, and sky flyer. It's a unique form of control that, really, didn't become popularized until the release of the Nintendo Wii. It feels like a distinctly Japanese design, the sort of off-the-wall design that is either embraced or rejected on a global scale. In Ape Escape's case, the mechanic caught on. ❞ cartridgethunder.com
