Seems like you don't understand how to play. Or you're playing on an emulator with input delay, or a modern TV with poor latency. Rhythm games of that era need to be played on original hardware and a CRT.

Also Um Jammer Lammy is better.

Exactly, except for 4th level, baking cake, game is working just fine and songs are pretty memorable and awesome. Um Jammer Lammy added so much, you can also play stages as Parappa. Parappa 2 is also awesome. Do you even like Rhythm games? I also love Bust a Groove on ps1

As someone who has no nostalgic ties to the game, I can be completely unbiased and say that it is very spotty. Even on original hardware, the timing is very shitty. The second game fixes this quite a bit but it's not retro so whatever.

Fix'd. If you only follow the prompts you'll only ever do okay. This is not a Benami game where all the notes are strictly denoted; MCing is all about adlibbing, and the gameplay reflects that. The game is fine for what it is and claiming it "aged badly" is taking the game on modern standards and not the standards of it's inception. But fuck learning idiocynracies of unfamiliar games, right? It's a rhythm game and that means it has to play exactly like DDR.

I love how you just latched onto "yeah Benami is so fucking good why aren't you sucking Benami dick in current year?" while ignoring my entire point. >>6399671 is right, you got filtered because you treated an adlibbing syncopation rhythm game as a reaction-hand-eye-coordination game. Yes, reaction-hand-eye-coordination is a more popular style because it's obvious how to play. That doesn't make adlibbing syncopation objectively bad. In your opinion it is comparatively worse and that's because you just want to play Benami. So do that. Don't make threads on 4chan whining about shit you don't actually care about.

The funniest thing about this fucking thread is that I never knew Parappa 1 to be a vehemently defended fanboy-tier game, just an innocuous but charming diversion with cute characters and catchy songs. Seeing some late 20-something work through his cognitive dissonance in realtime over wasting his youth on oversized Simon machines for people with chains through their jeans, treating Parappa like it kicked their dog and shoved their hamster up his ass all while talking about playing Beatmania like it was being a roady for the Grateful Dead or something, all to justify being so damn MAD at a game people beat in one afternoon when they were 8...
