Who remembers Rap Rat?

[u/MissEllaPaige]

Following my last post about rare tapes, I got my mum to have a look through our attic to see if she could find any of my old childhood tapes (I'm still not allowed up there at my big age because it's unstable and one wrong move will send you straight through the floor 🤣)

Unfortunately there's so much stuff up there that it's impossible knowing where to start, all she was able to find at the minute was an empty case for Babe Pig In The City, a video that shall not be named which was apparently a "secret santa" present from my dads old work and this still in it's original slipcase!

Now I'm a 2004 baby so I have very few memories of having VHS tapes as a kid, however I definitely remember having a few tapes from a charity shop so I assume this must've been one of them because my parents didn't recognize it and were both too old for the game when it was released in 1992.

Still, I thought I'd give it a try as I was curious to see what it's all about. It took me a good while to get it to work as it was just static and wouldn't play at first, I think my VCR is on its last legs to be fair as I've had some issues with it recently.

Think it must've took some damage being up in our attic for so long as the playback wasn't the best and it suddenly completely cut out at one point which about gave me a heart attack. It was only funny afterwards when I discovered a part of the tape had snapped and was cellotaped back together 😅

As for the Rap Rat himself, he is HORRIBLE. I couldn't possibly tell you a character that's more annoying than this odd creature, plus he's quite an eyesore and has some kind of weird stutter which I assume is meant to be his "rapping"? Not sure who approved of this character as I wouldn't consider it to be particularly child friendly, think I'd actually be quite frit if I saw this vile rodent as a kid.

Can't say I'm in a hurry to try and find the rest of the board game so I can play it, however I will be keeping it in my collection as I love unusual stuff and this is by far the most unusual thing I've seen in a long time 🤣

There's actually an old creepypasta based on it lol

No way! Really?? I can't believe it, I literally had no idea as the only creepypasta I've ever read was BEN Drowned when I was about 10 years old and obsessed with Zelda, it scared me that much that I swore to never read another one again 🤣

That's really freaked me out because it was such a pain to get it to play and it suddenly cut out midway through because the tape had snapped and been put back together, I don't think its a good idea for me to read the creepypasta about it 🙈

I've been looking everywhere for this tape

[u/MissEllaPaige → u/mytinkypinky]

Really?? I had no idea that this was something people were after! I didn't even know it existed until my mum found it in the attic, I can't remember having it as a kid but to be honest I don't really remember any of the specific tapes I had 🙈
