The Rugrats are 90s legends. If you grew up in the same decade as me, then you might have missed out on a lot of things like good music, being able to buy houses, and the birth of the NES, but at least we had the Rugrats. Search for Reptar was an amazing game on the PS1, one that I played with my friends on repeat for what seemed like a lifetime. It was the first of six Rugrats titles. and they're all available to play as part of the new Retro Rewind compendium from Limited Run Games.
Yes, Limited Run Games are back with another collectible marvel for you to nab, with pre-orders opening from May 1st to May 31st. Digital copies of the compendium will be available to purchase from May 15th, but if you're a die-hard fan of Tommy and Chuckie, then you're going to want to see what's included in the physical releases.
