Ape Escape - RARE PS1 Game

You are looking at Play Station One game Ape Escape.

"Innovative control and traditional platform aspects merge in the PlayStation's best platformer ever. 9.5/10" - IGN!

A circus monkey named Specter stumbles upon a scientist's prototype intelligence-enhancing helmet, turning him into an evil monkey genius. As Spike, the professor's young friend, you must travel through time to clean up all of the monkeys Specter has sent back in his attempt to repopulate the world. If that's not enough to make you laugh, then chasing his goofy monkey minions as they scurry from your clutches will certainly tickle your funny bone. You'll discover a variety of gadgets to help you in your quest, including monkey radar, a slingshot, and a propeller for flying. Spanning 25 huge levels, Ape Escape is approachable for novices, and offers added challenges for veteran gamers.
Note: no monkeys were harmed in the creation of this game.

In a genre that often lacks originality, Ape Escape shines with innovations that utilize the DualShock controller like never before. Each level in Ape Escape requires you to capture a set number of apes using a variety of gadgets which are provided by the mad professor (who let all the monkeys loose in the first place). The control is definitely a plus of this game -- the left stick on the pad controls the movement of the main character, the right stick operates the chosen weapon or tool and points it in whichever direction you choose. Extensive use of the two sticks is necessary throughout the game for everything from swimming to rowing a boat.
