One of the most beloved games I recall during my childhood
MarkLynnIreland12941 November 2021
This is one memorable PlayStation games I played during my childhood, based on the popular Nickelodeon show. As of recently, over the past few years the nostalgia is very strong, even when I hear the music on the opening sequence/ending credits - tear to my eye melts my heart.

Some memorable soundtracks/tunes in it one upstairs and one downstairs in Pickles' house, backyard music with Spike the dog there, one sounds like Afro Circus, etc.

I don't have much for training/activities or multiplayer mode of it, just main section of playing different games (based on Rugrats episodes) in order to collect missing pieces for Reptar jigsaw puzzle. Some bonus levels are fine, there's easy level, medium level, and hard level which initially needs to be unlocked so it's playable.

Bonus games: No More Cookies - Quite funny one where avoiding Angelica (walks by running and keep throwing box of cookies if she gets too close to you, and eating 15 of them.

Touchdown Tommy - Quite same as No More Cookies, not much space/room to run about and have to drink chocolate milk instead quickly.

Mirrorland - This is considerably an easy game and perfectly straightforward opening six big "?" boxes and collect different coloured balloons against the timer, colour balloons come in red, blue, yellow, green, orange and purple. It was a straightforward game, yet it's so long and totally boring!

Gold Rush - This mini game just simply by collecting numerous nickels against the timer same park as with Grandpa's Teeth.

Reptar 2010 - This is the final game once you've collected all the jigsaw puzzle pieces. As the dinosaur, roam through the city smash it up breathe fire while finding the City Hall. Of course, once it's completed, the ending credits which music (of the opening theme tune) really chokes me up with emotion.

Easy-level games: Ice-cream Mountain - Quite an entertaining crazy-golf game which the hard part was getting the number of hits under the par, and some holes had tricky complex corners and slopes, one is spiraled, one has a large pitfall (avoid golf ball rolling into), another with a windmill, etc.

Chuckie's Glasses - This, seemingly, my favourite game of them all, as a simple hide-and-seek game as Chuckie finding Tommy and the twins in the house, then tag and race them back to the playpen. I eventually found it easy to jump down the whole staircase and go through the kitchen as a shortcut. I was totally thrilled I first passed at this game.

The Mysterious Mr. Friend - I don't know WHY this is labelled as easy-level?! Even in the episode it's based on, this has a freaky-looking clown robot to terrify young kids and way it speaks in rhyme is so annoying ("You can call me Mr. Friend. You'll never ever be bored again"). Simple enough in first part, but then go against three of them in second segment. I didn't just dislike this game at all, totally hated it!

Egg Hunt - Takes bit of practise to collect eggs against the timer, bit like Gold Rush.

Cookie Race - This also takes a bit of practise, and jump down from the top of the stairs as strategy to get ahead of opponent Angelica.

Hard-level games: 7 Voyages of Cynthia - I haven't played this game much, only play Spike the dog going through the dark sewers, filthy brown water and creepy-looking rats which to avoid. I really didn't like this game as I couldn't find correct route through the sewers.

Toy Palace - I do recall this a bit, quite a scary game in first segment play Chucky alone in the dark toy store with moving toys, daleks, creepy clown area to pass safely. As seen on YouTube, there was mechanical gorilla named Thorg which sort of scared me a bit and whole collecting boxes from high places - jumping from high places something to avoid.

Incident on Aisle 7 - I'm not too familiar of this game as played in a supermarket, haven't played it much yet as I've seen on YouTube more: looks challenging with passing over slippery ice, take out employees Larry and Steve and then take out the lobsters. Also the man on speakers hilarious "Clean up in the detergent department...eh, just add water, HAHA!"

Medium-level Games: Let There Be Light - This one, as many YouTube commenters mentioned, totally seems most frightening. Tommy walking around is dark house to the kitchen's refrigerator and then looking for Spike, while having suspenseful music and so-called "shadow monsters" which 2-D ghost puppets with eerie grins appear from nowhere, making boogie noises and disappear once you shine the flashlight on them.

Visitors From Outer Space - this one was partially scary, yet found it very weird (based on episode someone's dream) and most easiest medium-level game. Quite a strange one with spaceship, some floating TV robots to zap with some laser device, release this talking fish with camera then in the end float through the air ducts to the garage when this game ends.

Circus Angelicus - Unlike the other medium-level games, this one wasn't scary, yet wasn't an easy one which I really didn't like either. Seems accuracy/precision is required to pass this game. Act 1 as Spike jumping hurdles and collecting bones against the timer, Act 2 with twins on tricycle moving it slowly in through the path in alleyway, up the ramp and press triangle on console when accurately on last red board in order to land directly on the trampoline. Act 3 with Chuckie the human cannonball have to press triangle three times to start the meter, and reaches two inner vertical lines of the meter. Might have passed this game few times yet it took me a very long time to succeed it - just like that bleedin' Mr Friend game.

Grandpa's Teeth - Totally remember this game very well. I didn't like Spike the dog stealing Grandpa Lou's dentures and running off with them into the maze, which was most worst/intense part as some reason there were geese hiding behind the corners, ready to pounce and attack - wasn't easy in trying to find the correct route through the maze. Then chase a goose that steals both the dentures and Chuckie leading up some shuffleboard court which have to hit the goose with hockey pucks, aiming the goose isn't too tricky as long as the goose is at close range.

Overall, Rugrats: Search for Reptar was a beloved memorable game I remembered well during my childhood.
