The robot-rabbit Robbit roams floating worlds of simple geometric shapes, bold colors and a childlike, dreamlike mood. The verticality of the settings, rendered by the first-person view, offers a joyful, unprecedented vertigo. A unique, founding visual world on the console.
The original Japanese version of this first-person platformer pioneer, predating the Western releases and sought by those wanting the first pressing of a console technical milestone. This native edition appeals to fans attentive to the provenance of a genre-founding title. Its local run and precedence sustain the interest, beyond mere historical curiosity.
