Welcome to Stiq Figures, where the sales data is after the break (http://www.joystiq.com/2012/10/21/stiq-figures-october-8-14-ape-escape-edition/#continued) and the posts don't matter. Every week, we take a look at, uh, something - meanwhile, the previous week's Japanese hardware sales figures are posted after the jump, and a discussion of said figures takes place in our comments. It may not be conventional, but it's a time-honored Joystiq tradition.

Last week on Stiq Figures, we paged through the official Final Fantasy VIII (http://www.joystiq.com/2012/10/14/stiq-figures-october-1-7-final-fantasy-viii-edition/) website. Taking a nostalgic ride through a tiny Flash site was so fun that we visited another one this week: the official site (http://www.apeescape.com/) for Sony's PS1 classic, Ape Escape.
Ape Escape, which released in June 1999, was considered innovative in its use of Sony's DualShock controller, as players moved a boy named Spike while swinging a net to capture monkeys by using both analog sticks on the controller.
Naturally, the game's official site drove the point home, as the Flash-based webpage included an image of a DualShock controller for viewers to use for navigation. The still-active site also contains two mini-games for players to toy with, one of which is seen above. Now, bask in the collective cringes from web designers across the globe.Continue reading Stiq Figures, October 8 - 14: Ape Escape edition (http://www.joystiq.com/2012/10/21/stiq-figures-october-8-14-ape-escape-edition/)
