I discovered this game somehow in 2018 as a 12 year old. I became hyperfixated on the franchise, and played all three games on emulators. PaRappa the Rapper is the first ever rhythm game, and I wholeheartedly believe that, along with its spin-off and sequel, it is still the best rhythm game of all time. Unlike most of its successors, it features a colorful world, unforgettable characters, and a humorous story. And while those games that followed in its footsteps have you merely tapping to the beat as a passive observer, PaRappa invites you to join the jam by freestyling as an active player. Freestyling is hard, but once you get it, you'll be rushing to get a Cool on every song. PaRappa is truly in a league of his own, with unmatched charm and songs that stay with you. I want this game on GOG because it could really use a PC port. Not everybody has a PlayStation, and emulators struggle with input delay while running the game. I hope this can happen one day.

Jet Set Radio Future
Jet Set Radio FutureJet Set Radio Future is a video game developed by Smilebit and is the sequel to Jet Set Radio. Similar to the original, it depicts a future Tokyo where freedom of expression is outlawed. The user plays a character in the GG's, a gang of in-line skating graffiti artists who skate around Tokyo covering up rival gangs' graffiti, knocking over Rokkaku police, and dancing to the electric soundtrack. The game uses a cel-shaded style of animation, and has been widely acclaimed for its unique music style, detailed art, and gameplay. Though the game is set in the future, its style and content incorporates many aspects of 1980's old school hip hop culture, as well as 1990's J-pop culture.

Jet Set Radio HD
Jet Set Radio HDJet Set Radio HD is the latest remaster in a string of Dreamcast "hits" to see new life on download platforms, but Sega has been insistent that they've learned its lessons. The publisher has emphasized how hard it's trying to get things right this time, and for many, it couldn't have chosen a better game. Jet Set Radio was part of Sega's onslaught of new properties with an emphasis on flash and style during the second wave of Dreamcast software, but it might be one of the more obscure. It's a game that almost everyone has heard of, but I think few have actually played. This was remedied somewhat with 2002's Xbox sequel Jet Set Radio Future. Unlike Sonic Adventure or the arcade hit Crazy Taxi, Jet Set Radio HD is the chance for many to finally play a game they've only heard about. Nostalgia has the side effect of high expectations though, and Jet Set Radio HD just can't meet them. While the flash and style of Jet Set Radio HD remains untouched and unvarnished by a dozen years of progress, the rest of it can't stand up to scrutiny. Squirrely controls, camera catastrophes, and nonsensical level design make Jet Set Radio HD a better memory than game.
