PaRappa the Rapper - PaRappa the Rapper PaRappa the Rapper (1997) is a video game for the Sony PlayStation. Considered revolutionary in its day, it is no more than an update to the classic 1980s game of Simon also known as Simon Says. Simon is a circular electronic game featuring four coloured quadrants.
