Fun fact from the Atari Co-Op archives: Peter Pack-Rat was designed explicitly under the hope that it would appeal to women more by utilizing cuter characters. Girls told them they liked the cuter characters in play tests. Unfortunately, they then tested them in regular arcades, where a lot of girls didn't actually PLAY arcade games, so the only people who told them that girls would like it were boys while the only girls they saw were just there to "hang out." tl;dr focus testing is stupid.
Hi- I plugged you guys in my latest review. It was a particularly difficult time personally and it’s warm content like you guys’ that can really create a sense of comfort. Thanks for all the entertainment you bring.
I still really want to know just how the loader artwork for the ZX Spectrum version of Peter Pack Rat even happened, and the only possible explanation I can think of is that a rift briefly opened up in the space-time continuum and somehow directly beamed the artistic knowledge of a 2020s furry artist into the brain of a Software Creations employee.
Furry comics existed back in the 1960s actually & a convention for furries started popping up in 1982. And considering stuff like Looney Tunes, Hanna-Barbera shorts & classic Disney shorts, it was BOUND to happen.
@@therealquinnzack1819 yeah, I can't place him. It looks like he also has black human hair grafted on in the front. And is his blue fanny pack inorganic or is he a marsupial. It doesn't have straps, it's like a change purse sewed into his skin
I like how Rap Rat is centerstage in the thumbnail, like he’s the epitome of Rat Interactive Media.
I love these nostalgic rat games, one of my favorite rat games was the play room on cd rom, such wonderful music and cute mini activities lol xD
Nothing beats Mad Rat Dead, IMO.
I feel like a rat-themed game showcase is like the Retro Pals endgame. What a treat

It always is.
I thought I knew them all!!! I've learned so much from this stream
Feeling smug with my Bang Bang Ball PCB right now
You guys missed Neratte Chu from Seta. It is an arcade exclusive puzzle game with a cute rat girl. It's pretty fun.
I grew up with Rat Attack on the PS1.

Seeing Rap Rat in a thumbnail that isn't from Kam Sandwich is a vibe check.

Absurd!

I thought this would have that one suika-like game with Bae, but this is fine.
Mappy and Mopiranger are mouse games
What is Musapey from Musapey's Choco Marker??
@ to me he’s always looked like a hamster/gerbil thing😭 but I see some mouse in there too.. unsure

@ honestly when you put it that way he’s kinda unsettling 👀
