Another retro game post from me, I'm just posting my collection. If you want me to stop just say! I'm using my own knowledge of each game and promise not to use Wikipedia so corrections please. They are games i used to own and have a sentimental attachment to.
This is a very rare Japanese reviewers or promotional copy of Vib Ribbon. You play a wire frame rabbit jumping over obstacles in time with the music as you "evolve". What was really cool about this game is that you could put your own music CDs in and it would randomly generate a level for you. What makes this even rarer is that the factory sealed tab is upside down! The New York Museum of Modern Art has a copy of this game as a permanent exhibition as a display of late 90s digital expression. The music from this game has been living rent free in my head for nearly 30 years.
I heard of this game a few years ago but it's really cool, feels like one of those early gaming experiments that no major company will ever try today.
IIRC it came out at a similar time as Parappa the Rapper, it was sensible that Vib Ribbon did it differently.
Actually made by the same devs during the same year that um jammer lammy came out.
Absolute genius Matsuura during its prime
Man, I wish they would rerelease Um Jammer Lammy. Better than Parappa imo
