Did You Know Gaming's look at Ape Escape is bananas

There's a special place in my heart for Ape Escape. It's one of the first video games I remember buying. I played it for hours. Its combination of cool gadgets, goofy apes, and groundbreaking dual analog control scheme blew my middle school mind.

I didn't keep up with the franchise after Ape Escape, outside of watching a few Ape Escape 2 speedruns, but the latest video from Did You Know Gaming works as a crash course in the series' history. There's information about the origins of Ape Escape's dual analog controls, unused assets, and the series' hidden pop culture references.
