source: wikipedia_enRugrats: Search for Reptar is a 1998 platform video game developed by n-Space and published by THQ. It was released in North America in October or November 1998 and in Europe in November 1998, exclusively for the PlayStation. Based on the television show Rugrats, the game follows the show's main character, Tommy Pickles, who has lost pieces of his Reptar puzzle and seeks to find them. It features stages based on episodes from the television show and minigames. Its sequel was Rugrats: Studio Tour. The game was developed with the intent of appealing to children. A marketing campaign, the second-biggest of 1998, was formed in conjunction with Sony Computer Entertainment America and THQ for its North American release to bolster the children's market on the PlayStation. The game received mixed reviews from critics; reviewers noted that children would enjoy it and praised its graphics, but criticized its camera and control mechanics. It was the third-best-selling game in the first two weeks of its release and sold nearly 1.5 million copies in the US, becoming one of the best-selling games on the PlayStation. The game was incorporated into the Greatest Hits brand.
