Found the last Um Jammer Lammy NOW! 

Good day for us parappa fans!

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.

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

Jonathan Ross with a W for preserving this machine

Honestly insane to see this cabinet in HD quality and not just some random screencap on Wikipedia. Hopefully this can be safely dumped.

Holy moly, I knew Jonathan Ross was into collecting geek stuff, but it's super rad that he supports game preservation.

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.

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

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.

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

woooooo we parappa fans eatin good tonite

My respect for Jonathan Ross is peaking hard right now.

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.

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!

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.

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

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!?

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.

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

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

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

This is how many Parappa fans that want a um jammer lammy remaster for PS5 ⬇️

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.

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.

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

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!

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

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.

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.

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!

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!

Thank you so much for this - the fact that Jonathan Ross helped save the day is something I didn't expect! I absolutely love Um Jammer Lammy, and always heard that the arcade game 'was basically just the PS1 game in a cabinet' - so I'm absolutely amazed to see that it has tons of unique content. I love how the controllers have lots of flashing lights too... it's really cool!

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

Right. I need to mod one of my guitar controllers right now

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.

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

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!

Dude did not expect Johnathan Ross to show up wow.

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.

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

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.

Can't wait for that ROM Dump so we can finally have this preserved for good

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

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.

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

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!)

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 ^^

great watch. thank you so much.

Pretty awesome! One of my favorite games and was always interested by the arcade cabinets design! Thanks so much for filming this!

Thank you so much for cataloging this! I've been waiting so long

I’m so happy this was FINALLY tracked down and is going to be preserved! You are truly a hero! Thank you so much.❤️

We parappa fans eating good today

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.

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 did not expect to see Jonathan Ross

The last Um Jammer Lammy machine is in captivity. The galaxy is at peace.

Huge Parappa fan, had no idea this existed but seriously I love everything about this thing. great video man!

Very glad this got recommended to me. Super in-depth video, thanks man!

this is such a win for game preservation... as a huge lammy + parappa fan, this is so awesome :) thank you so much and looking forward to the next videos!

Mindblowing for one of my fav childhood game series. Much thanks! I cant wait to see all them Joe chin cut scenes.☃️🎉

Awesome find, thanks for taking time to preserve this gem!

So happy to see this search come to fruitition after so many years... I remember seeing this info YEARS ago and kept checking the lost wiki forums for updates, but no avail until this year~

Of course Jonathan ross owns one.

this feels like a fever dream, thank you very much for your effort

Good on Jonathan Ross letting this happen.

In da rain or in da snow I got da funk funk flow!!

Great video, really neat stuff. cant believe parappa fans finally get something close to new after all these years

whoa whoa whoa whoa who is she 7:23 lol

OMG it feels like a dream to finally see someone play this cabinet- and it’s our friend Eric Yokey! Incredible work.

I recently picked up a used copy of the PS1 game, it was the hardest Parappa game I've played, but I've waited so long for it, trying to make gameplays of it

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)

THIS IS SO SPECTACULAR IM SO VERY HAPPY ABOUT THIS INFORMATION

The arcade cabinet close-up looks so cool, i love the rammy and lammy spinnign details. I think playing on it would be a bit tricky (?), but other than that i love all the discoverys about the arcade!!

I can hear the um jammer lammy opening ringing in my ear drums

Great video! This is a really huge find for the Parappa community and the lost media community

Very intriguing. Great video!

You are a legend for this. 🙌

I'm a huge fan of Parappa and Lammy and I never knew such thing existed. This is amazing.

i would love to play i remember it back in the 90s i hope yall could get a 3d printer for the controllers and make it for a new generation

This thing is amazing. You may have found the holy grail of Parappa stuff, and that's saying something.

Wossy, what a surprise! I really appreciate his contribution to the preservation of this game.

I love hiw this lost media has been found! Maybe you'll make a playlist of all the stages, gameplay, and cutscenes so we can see them in " just found glory"!

Now we need someone to film it playing it in its entirety.

Oh my god I cant wait to try this. Good work, seriously!

I can't wait to see all the videos of and from the arcade machine!

Um jammer lammy is the bible of the parappa games

SUCH A GREAT GAME

Niceee this machine is really cool I love the style

Incredible work!

I am drooling. I ADORE THIS GAME and PARAPPA!

this is brilliant!

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.

Hell Yeah! Thanks for coming to do the interview by the way

i really REALLY enjoy this video

bruh that japanese umjammer cover looks like a acid rock album cover. so good lol

So awesome of Johnathan to let you dump the arcade!

Okay, I was not expecting Jonathan Ross to show up, impressive!

Aww. I already loved Jonathan Ross, but this just confirms how cool he really is.

As a huuuge UJL and Parappa fan, this is incredibly cool to see.

Step on the gas! Step on the gas? Step on the brake! Step on the brake?
