- Answering to sworddude I am not angry or mad if I sounded mad, I never said I think Bubsy 3D is one of the better games, just that is one of my favorite because at least I can feel something for the background story and it is special for people that supported me. Anyway everything is all right. - Answering to pzeke Todo esta bien, gracias por tus consejos y memorias las aprecio bastante. Al final si algo te gusta te gusta y si no le hace daño a nadie más no hay nada de que sentirse mal. Gracias por tus palabras. |

I LOVE the PS1. Easily one of my favorite consoles. I have over 100 games for it. (I know that's small potatoes for some people here, but that's one of the largest game libraries I own for a console, I'm not a complete library guy, I just buy what I want to play.) The only console I have more games for is PS2 (and that's just because GameStop was clearing a LOT out in my town when they were no longer accepting them). So many good shoot-em ups (Einhander, Thunder Force V, G Darius, RayStorm, etc.), RPGs (Final Fantasies, Legend of Dragoon, Legend of Legaia, King's Field, etc.), platformers (Spyro, Crash Bandicoot, Pac-Man World, Gex, Rayman, etc.), and just unique games like Twisted Metal, Bushido Blade, Intelligent Qube, and others. It is damn underrated in 2020, because so many of the kiddies that didn't grow up with it just look at it as "that crappy 3D graphics console". They don't understand the innovation that this console brought to the game. Everyone, companies big and little upstart companies, were experimenting with 3D graphics. Trying to find what worked, and what didn't. And that bred innovation on a level that we simply haven't seen since. Some of it worked, some of it didn't, but it was all very interesting and you were never bored. 3 cheers for the PlayStation! |

Even the good ones are tough to look at these days. However, next to the comparable N64 the PS1 has a ton of titles that have aged like wine, because they weren't afraid to stick to older design paradigms. Rayman, Symphony of the Night and so many others are still terrific today. |

The first Playstation was revolutionary. IMO, it nearly perfected the controller with the Dual Shock. The big part of why it was revolutionary though? The games. Oh my gawd the games! I don't think there was a generation before or since that has supplied so many incredible new IPs. Tomb Raider, Resident Evil, Dino Crisis, Destruction Derby, Oddworld, Twisted Metal, MGS, .... I could go on and on. Such an incredible generation. In fact, it was such an incredible gen that I honestly have trouble narrowing down best of games for it because there are so many to choose from. As an example, I'm making a Hall/Wall of fame creating a shadowbox display for a favorite game from each major gen that I've been gaming. PS1 is next up on the list and I eventually picked the Tomb Raider series, but it was neck and neck with Resident Evil for a long time for me. I remember seeing Sony show off the Playstation before it released and as a Sega fan, my jaw dropped. I saw what I believed was the cool system (Playstation) and then what I saw coming up in my fan camp... the Saturn. The $100 difference was also a huge difference to a 14 year old that wasn't yet employed anywhere. That said, I knew I wanted a Playstation and I started to do extra chores around the house. Then I moved out to the street and started doing extra chores for the neighbors next door. Then I moved on to the entire neighborhood offering lawn mowing, dog walking, house sitting, etc jobs for the entire summer of '95. I worked my ass off that summer to afford a Playstation and when all was said and done... I raked in about $150... half of what I needed. I lived with my grandparents at the time and they saw how much I worked for it and they stated that if I didn't mind knowing what I got that Christmas. and if I handed over the $150 I had earned, that they would get me a Playstation that year as my gift. Of course, I immediately handed over the money and gave them a massive thank you and a hug just on their word. That Christmas, I got to open up my first Playstation. They got me Ridge Racer with it. My uncle got me a memory card. My dad got me Destruction Derby. It was the best Christmas memory I had until I had kids of my own. I've stuck with Playstation ever since. I can't wait to continue on with the PS5. |

Funny enough I actually bough my first PS1 the day the PS2 came out. I bought it from the Software Etc at my local mall, and the guy at the counter was like "are you sure you're not here for a PS2?" I would have loved to have bought a PS2, but I didn't have enough money and all the PS2's were spoken for anyways. I mainly bought it to play FF7 after a neighbor made that game sound like the greatest thing ever made. Luckily it mostly lived up to the hype he created around it, and I really attribute my deep love for JRPGs in the early 2000s to the PS1. As a collector it's been one of my favorite consoles to collect for given how many great games there are for it, as well as many, many decent titles that flew completely under the radar. Sure, some of these titles wee a bitch to track down and really hit my wallet hard, but hunting them down was something I really enjoyed. |
