Its that Time!

Happy New Year!

And with the new year comes our next effort in raising money for a good cause! With a little over a month away its time for us to try to meet this years goal of $3000! The more the merrier! So as we stated in the past the original idea was to change beneficiaries each year and by golly thats what we are going to do!

This year as you already know the money is going to Toonseum and The Father Ryan Arts Center to help start funding or continuing funding art programs for these areas and children in these areas. As you know arts programs in schools are being cut and they need our help.

I mean come on i need someone to be able to create my next generation of video games or comics!

Please help us out!

You can donate by using the button on chachiplays.com or visiting us in person at Toonseum On Feb 10th – 11th from 7pm to 7 pm.

As it was last year a donation of $50 dollars or more gets you a slot to come down and play games for an hour with Chachi in the flesh. Beat him at the game of your choice! Also this year we will be auctioning off the first and last slots to play. So if you bid high enough you can either start off with a fresh Chachi or an extremely Exhausted and loopy one. Your Choice.

We also need sponsors! There are somethings that we need that can be sponsored! Food, equipment, drinks we need it! you can provide it! email chachiplays@gmail.com if you are interested!

lets help get some creativity back in the streets!

Game 94: PaRappa the Rapper

PaRappa the Rapper
Sony Computer Entertainment
Oct. 1997

Kick! Punch! It’s all in the mind…

Ah PaRappa.
There was a time in which Sony was ahead of the game. They released hit after mind blowing hit. Tomb Raider, FFVII and yes even this game. PaRappa the Rapper.

Coined as a modern day Simon, This game was not revered for its difficulty. Instead it was its graphics, funky plot, and unique soundtrack.

So PaRappa is a thin paper dog who spends the game bettering himself and getting himself out of jams trying to make himself as popular as Joe Chin who has it all so that he can win ouver the girl he likes Sunny Funny.

This guy goes through some hell to get her. Learns to fight, learns to drive, wrecks a car, sells his stuff. A LOT.

the game is a timing sequence game, pressing the correct button at the correct time allows you to nail the line of the rap. However mistiming or hitting the wrong button will cost you. Miss twice and drop a rating in the song. Drop to awful and youll fail the level.

Its not that long of a game but the perfectionist in you will continue to play it in order to get perfect on every level.

The cuteness of the characters made this an easy game to market in other avenues. lots of merch and a couple of sequels. UnJammy Lammy and PaRappa 2 for PS2 not to mention a cartoon in Japan.

Chachi Says: Fun game to play, and fun to laugh at. Wish it were longer but you cant have it all.

Game 93: Sonic the Hedgehog 2

Sonic the Hedgehog 2
Sega
1992

After the huge success of Sonic the Hedgehog and the release of the Sega Masoct Sonic, Sega went right back to work, giving the sega fans what they wanted. A Sequel. Now unlike other posts in which ive stated that the company destroyed the series or overdid it with a sequel right away, Sega did not. Sega did it right.

Although this time Sonic did not come alone. This time Sonic brought along a new friend, Miles “Tails” Prower. The player can select how they want to play the game, As Sonic or Tails alone, or have tails following Sonic.

The game introduces a new move and bigger levels. The move is the famous Super Sonic Spin Dash. which allows sonic to curl up in a ball and charge up speed to allow him to reach a high platform or speed through a part of the level defeating enemies on the way.

Once again, Dr. Robotnik is after the Chaos Emeralds so that he can power his new weapon the Death Egg. The bonus rounds in the game have changed too. instead of the 360 rotating levels they are now halfpipe races in which Sonic must avoid obstacles and collect the rings. If he reaches the end he collects the emerald and next time can play the next bonus level. if the player fails he must redo this one the next time he qualifies.

Once again the Chaos Emeralds have no real effect on the outcome of the game, they merely change the story line and alter the way Sonic wins.

Chachi Says: When done right sequels are awesome. This is one of those times. The only thing lacking in this game is the excuse for two player which is the bonus level as a race.
