r/ApeEscape

I was 9 years old when the game ape escape was released. Soichi tearada music still drives me crazy ! So I made a monkey 3d printed lamp :D

it’s quite inevitable that their’s gonna be an another protagonist change, this happens with every other ape escape(mainline)game and it’s most likely gonna happen here. imma cross my fingers if we even get a mention for Jake let alone a cameo!

Was playing Ape Escape 2 and found out the game has quick gadget swapping... ONLY in the Japanese version.

The feature was never actually removed from the US release. The input handling, the gadget roulette, the HUD (with the "?" for gadgets you don't have yet), the confirm/swap logic... it's all still on the US disc. The only thing missing was the function that actually opens the roulette (26 instructions). The patch puts the original JP code back in.

Hello! I'm an Ape Escape fan and Pipo Monkey lover that has a task to call everyone in this community to help me to restore the Ape Escape History and make it available to everyone.

I always got mad that I couldn't find proper HD covers artwork, renders, scans, nor manuals for any specific game, and what I could find it wasn't correct or just a poor mockup, then I've decided that I will by myself buy any region of any Ape Escape game that has original manual, CD and original cover to scan and make it available to the entire internet for easy access of any interest and the sake of proper assets for community projects like frontends.

Unfortunately I live in a country that sometimes the game regions variants are rare (With manual is even rarer) that I try to find, and as a last resort, before going back to the treasure hunting, I ask you to be part of this movement to help a simple collector to catch attention of bigger collectors to help preserve the Ape Escape history!! If you have anything related, Korea, USA, Europe, Japan, Manuals, Covers, CDs, help me in this fight!

At the moment I have scanned:
