Found the last Um Jammer Lammy NOW!

[@jaygriffin5710]

I like that Jonathan Ross let a random dude from the internet into his house, get completely hammered with him (1:50) and then let him take his arcade machine apart

[@TFD500Official]

they’re doing this for preservation

[@AwesomeCoolAyden]

Yeah!

[@JackLeavitt]

The idea of reaching out to Jonathan Ross seemed like such a stretch to me when I was younger, can't believe you went and did it.

[@UmEricYockey]

you gotta believe

[@Ms_Semi]

​@@UmEricYockeyI love you sir

[@WorldsWorstBoy]

Honestly very cool to see he's a video game nerd like the rest of us. If I was rich I'd buy the cabinet for sure.

[@chemist6851]

Youre the only person on youtube that ive seen with osamu sato art as their profile picture, i tip my hat to you!

[@imdaltino]

i love this kinda shit man. random celebrity has it, you reach out, he says yeah fly over here, and he lets you document and back it up. what a world.

[@BmoBeemo]

Jonathan Ross with a W for preserving this machine

Probably it was his waifu.

He’s pretty awesome - he launched the 3DS in Europe 😂

[@dollarama8652]

id love to take a dump on this 💩of a game... eating prunes, chocolate, beans right now!

[@AwesomeCoolAyden]

Yeah!

[@avideogameodyssey3204]

Jonathan Ross, for international audiences, is like the Jay Leno or David Letterman of UK tv. He was once the highest paid talent at the BBC before being pouched by a rival TV company. He’s a notorious geek, collector, used to have a film review show on the BBC (he gave Spirited Away FOTY and thus got me into Ghibli) and his wife is a writer-producer responsible for films like Kick-Ass and Stardust.

[@TFD500Official]

Interesting to know, that explains the “itv” logo on the top-right when he shows up

[@larrylaffer3246]

Even if the internals are decaying, the externals are in prime shape. It could be used as a museum piece.

[@WaldoBagelTopper]

Um Jammer Lammy to me is one of those weird little thresholds we pass through in life. For me, it was finally having my own things and being able to pick and buy and rent and choose whatever games and movies I wanted. I was in a household with 3 boys and I was the youngest. So while it always showed me cool movies, shows, and games that I still treasure today, I never got to discover things on my own out of my own curiosity. I was nothing more than pretty much a recorder for my older brother's discoveries. Then around the late 90s, my brothers were older, had their own friends, and were chasing girls, and got jobs and cars. So they were never really home like they used to be. So I started having free rein of the PS1, and rentals and music etc. That is when I started discovering things on my own volition. And that's where Um Jammer Lammy and things like it kicked in. I would never have been allowed to rent it or buy it or anything, because that isn't something my brothers found interesting. But I loved it. I remember a few years later when I got a job and was old enough, I also got PaRappa the Rapper. That's why I say Lammy is like this little line I crossed into independence in terms of being able to discover things on my own and not being at the mercy of older siblings.

[@catke590]

That's a nice memory for such a game, specially with some songs that get that same feeling, like Got to Move! and Keep Your Head Up.

[@sethusk]

I loved reading your comment. I can really relate to it, and it's such a neat feeling for sure.

[@Aster_Risk]

It's so cool to have those memories attached to the game.

[@5ch3nk]

My respect for Jonathan Ross is peaking hard right now.

[@SakuraStardust]

This is so interesting. The cabinet just suddenly vanishing after not doing well especially. I imagine many where destroyed.

[@demetriadickson8345]

👍🏼

[@OberynTheRedViper]

Wait. This was legit Johnathan Ross from the UK panel show fame? I was thinking it just had to be a common name, then I saw the man himself. What a random world.

[@Parappanon]

Parappa history has been made, Um Jammer Lammy NOW! has now been found! I really hope we can rediscover this important piece of Parappa history together, and discover not only what this game has for us to discover, but also be able to enjoy this game with each other!

[@nordgeit]

All we need is someone to remake those controllers (and create instructions to make them), make them able to be freely picked up, and we're on a roll!

[@keaton718]

More amazing than the lost machine found is the fact you can just email Jonathon Woss, with 903 subscribers, and suddenly become friends with him and hang out with him in his home!?

[@UmEricYockey]

I reached out to him on instagram, actually, which I don’t even use! He’s such a great guy.

[@rizoricos]

Oh my god? How did you even find out Jonathan Ross purchased this? In any case, this is why software and video game preservation is so important. Thank you for sharing this with us. What a wonder.

[@budderk1305]

Good Guy Jonathan showing how its done , instead of hoarding a machine to rot away with no one to preserve it. And of course good work everyone who helps archive this almost lost piece of media

[@greenknight9000]

I'm legit crying tears of joy. A long, agonizing chapter in the Parappa fandom is finally coming to an end. It's been a struggle, but soon, the game will be able to be experienced by everyone!

[@tobbeborislyba]

Lmfao this sounds something like when the last unreleased parrapa thing gets found, all the fans will randomly die instantly like a kind of twisted prophecy

[@SurfRay]

​@@tobbeborislybawho told you that's NOT gonna happen?

[@racket_]

@XCL4M4t10N 5:53 has a mention about it. Later this year pretty much.

[@yggdrasilsaltar]

@@EvolutionArchive23 how do you know? you cant see them lol

[@crappyatlife]

You need a girlfriend

[@keithmichael112]

I was surprised that Jonathan Ross was the one person known to have one

[@crazyfutureradio]

I would never in a million years would have thought Jonathan Ross would be the person who owns possibly one of the last existing um jammer lammy machines. That is so fucking random lol.

[@MisterVercetti]

Really, the past couple of years have been an absolute goldmine for lost media. So many things we once thought lost to the ages are slowly but surely being found, one by one. What a time to be alive.

[@PG_Andre_YT]

Seeing it finally be found brings a tear to my eye 🥲

[@chubbycatfish4573]

I was obsessed with this game for years back in the day and I still play it occasionally. I've known about this machine since 2005 or so and I never thought I'd see footage like this.

[@julof]

We finally found a working Um Jammer Lammy NOW! arcade and this is definitely going down in history. But sadly, we will probably never get our hands on the prototype version of the game. You know, the one that didn't had "NOW!" in his name. There's maybe even more unseen stuff inside of it, which is so damn frustrating. Much love Yockey, and I can't wait to see more of it!

[@the-np4mr]

Hopefully never to be seen 👍

[@julof]

@@the-np4mr ._.

[@odius94]

Talk about burying the lede. "Oh, by the way, Johnathan Ross bought the last one in existence so I hit him up and here we car jammin' on the arcade game" Like no big deal. haha! Nice.

[@aeroburger]

I'm really glad this game still exists and works, I'm glad Johnathan Ross let you do this! Seems like a cool guy

[@Squeezee114]

I’m on the edge of my seat waiting for all that Joe Chin content

[@SynaMax]

I find it absolutely insane that in the same week I started playing Um Jammer Lammy for the first time, the arcade port gets dumped and preserved. Thank you so much for your hard work and this video, Eric! EDIT: Finished watching the video and I just wanted to add that I wish you the best of luck with dumping the ROM logic data!

[@Phillyppenes]

do yourself a favor and play the PAL version if possible, it's superior in a few ways including having uncensored content that was censored in other regions like U.S

[@HandlebarOrionX]

The design is so 90's kids show and it's one of many aesthetics I wanna see come back

[@X2011racer]

Wanna know something cool? The mythical Parappa Stage 1 is playable in this version. An unfinished version still exists in the PS1 version, and the song can be heard in its entirety in the Soundtrack.

[@zubrhero5270]

Here's what's weird. I'm 40, from England, and Jonathon Ross has been on TV in some capacity for the entirety of that it feels like. In the early days, I just had the opinion of "he's alright... he's not my favourite, but I don't mind seeing him on my telly". If someone were to say "National Treasure", back then I woulda been like "who? This guy?" But then, as time has gone on, I've appreciated him more as a host and personality. The dude is funny. And then, all of a sudden, I see late night Channel 4 shows about the history of Japanese toys and popular entertainment media... which is basically a one-man show hosted by someone who I can see has an absolute passion and knowledge for the subject. And then I see him talk "World of Warcraft" with a couple of his guests on his talk-show, and Vin Diesel kinda replies like "yea alright, like _this guy_ knows about WoW...", to which Ross replies with "yea, I don't know _much about it..._ but I do know my wife has a Spectral Tiger Mount...". And Vin's eyes light up like "this dude is for real." And then... I'm into comic books... and guess who's written comic books? Like... NOTHING surprises me any more about Jonathon Ross. He is someone who, over time, I've found I've more in common with as a long-time nerd, than his celebrity status would suggest, and someone who I'd love to sit down and nerd out with.

[@noahboat580]

I never knew about this parappa arcade port. When i think of parappa oddities would be the VHS collection of the parappa show, and a toaster that makes art on the toast. And those go for hundreds of dollars, i wouldnt want to know an auction price on an um jammer lammy arcade

[@OctopusPrince]

Awsome ! it feels great seeing finally new cutscenes after much time. Also the Parappa lore just expanding like that just makes my heart pound. Thank you.

[@DexterManningVO]

man this is the coolest shit I've seen in ages

[@kennylauderdale_en]

You can't see it, but I'm giving you a thumbs up. Imagine it in your mind's eye.

[@SamMcDonald83]

What an awesome dude johnathon Ross is. I saw a great video of his toy collection recently and he did a great documentary on Steve Ditco a few years ago

[@xRocketzFighterx]

Never in my life I expect Jonathan Ross to be a Um Jammer Lammy fan XD

[@jimmerjammy]

Parappa fans are eating well! I honestly thought this game would be lost to time, but here we are!

[@blekiscooler]

5:48 YEAAAAH JOE CHIN CONTENT!!! love that guy

[@adultmoshifan87]

If I could, I’d open my own gaming hotel! Yes I know there’s one over in The Netherlands and also one somewhere in Asia (probably Hong Kong, Taiwan or Macaw) but I’d love to see a gaming hotel here in the UK: a hangout where likeminded gamers can enjoy 80s, 90s and 2000s video games together, each console given the proper maintenance needed to keep functioning and plenty of arcade games common and rare as well! Also, I’d provide the hotel room TVs with free-to-air channels from other countries including RTÉjr (Ireland), Gulli (France) and Kika (Germany) and even include a selection of Netflix and Apple TV+ original movies and shows guests can stream at no extra cost! (At the turn of the decade my local train company had Prime Video programming available to stream for free via the onboard wifi!)

[@JV_BMX]

Dude NaNaOn-Sha put in so much effort into this spinoff it's got its own album and life behind it (UJL NOW Cutscenes)

It's been ages and I never heard back from Jonathan.

[@r7crazycanucks]

He does have Instagram, which is where I asked him about the machine.

[@mack_r-s]

In case you were still wondering, the game was finally dumped a few months ago, on September 11th of all days.

[@RobynVids]

When I was getting into Parappa a few years back, I always wondered what would come of the arcade cabinet in the future. This video is a blessing, thank you for all of your work ^^

Jonaffin Woss really came in clutch with this one. The man is a true beast. One of the only people who could get a meeting with Steve Ditko.

[@tvguts]

This is so awesome!!! As a fan of the series, I've always been fascinated by the arcade version but only ever seemed to see ONE picture of it. The one with the screen showing Ma-San with her hand in front of her face. I can see it in my mind's eye now.

I love Namco Arcade so much! I own a English US version of Panic Park Deluxe. Most of them got recalled due to kids dislocating their shoulders but it's a extremely fun game.

This is Amaizing! I can see that soon Um Jammer Lammy NOW will be added for MAME (Or at least some sort-of standalone emulator)

[@bruno_quesito]

THIS IS SO SPECTACULAR IM SO VERY HAPPY ABOUT THIS INFORMATION

[@dylanmcfarland8356]

The arcade version of Um Jammer Lammy has been found now - and I mean NOW! Now all we need is a full remastered version of the whole game featuring both Story and Arcade NOW! versions.

[@TFD500Official]

doubt they’ll do that, but who knows? :p

I saw a car with Texas plates (In hot springs arkansas) that had a peeking parappa sticker on it. And then I found this today. Quite a coincidence.

[@waffulsyrup6320]

It was surreal finding out about this machine's existence back in 2013-2014. I was fairly confident that it was lost forever due to it's obscurity and supposed financial flop but I'm so glad that it wasn't the case and that a machine still exists. Hoping the dumping process goes super smooth! This is a massive win for game preservation!
