Next time we see Rodger Sony, Owner of Sony, doing the rounds, we'll be sure to ask him if there's any chance of a downloadable version on PSP or PS3 which works with our MP3s. Vib Ribbon was so simple in its perfection that the entire game could fit into the PlayStation's memory, without any loading - allowing you to take the disc out of your console and pop in any music CD you fancied, so you could walk along a ribbon made from the sounds of your favourite tunes. Perhaps one of the cleverest things about this eminently surprising little game is that you weren't restricted to playing the tracks which came on the game disc itself. Those obstacles appeared in time with the fantastic, trippy music of the title - which remains one of the most wonderfully bizarre game soundtracks ever created, with sections which play with tempo in ways which are just as unexpected to the ear as they are to Vib Ribbon's gameplay. You control a rabbit called Vibri - displayed as a simple line drawing - and your task is to hit the right buttons on your controller to allow her to navigate various obstacles on the simple line she's walking along on screen. The idea, like every great idea, was simple. Regardless, our US readers definitely missed out on something a bit special with this title. If you've followed every step in this tutorial, same goes on using the same emulator or something alike, it should work. This time, pick the file where our songs lies in. Go to the menu strip up top and click File, click Eject CD File again, and Insert CD Image. Popular legend holds that this is down to SCEA's refusal to launch mucky old 2D titles on their shiny new 3D console - if true, that has to be one of the most ludicrous policies ever enforced by a games company (right up there with SCEE's long-held policy of not allowing Japanese voice track options in its games, in fact). Launch Vib-Ribbon and go to the part of the menu where you can get to the CD selection. Here's a rarity - a cult PlayStation game which appeared in Europe, but not in North America.
