AlphaOmegaSin I hear that, so many good memories of that little gray system, from me to my brother, and my dad over endless hours of playing Tekken 2 or 3, and watching my sister play Final Fantasy 7 or 8 or even playing Megaman Legends or Parappa The Rapper, so many nostalgic memories. I need to make a video for this and make an update of my old PS2 Collection video. GOD how time flies. Jumping Flash was one of my first games I played on Playstation, even if it was a demo on the demo disc, till I rented it and my bro got WWF Wrestlemania The Arcade Game.

Valkyrie Profile, Vagrant Story, Final Fantasy Tactics,Grandia, Front Mission 3, Dragon Warrior 7, Klonoa, Um Jammer Lammy... Man I could go on forever listing off the great games on the Playstation. I always loved how focused the Playstation was on having such huge engrossing single player games. The N64 was great for multiplayer parties and the shorter Nintendo games and the Saturn had great arcade and fighting games, but when you wanted to get farther into your 40+ hour save in an rpg that is where the Playstation shined.

I got my PlayStation for Christmas, in 1997. I received games like: Final Fantasy VII, King's Field II and III, Crash Bandicoot 1 & 2, Mortal Kombat: Sub Zero Mythologies, Tomb Raider, Resident Evil, and Twisted Metal 2. I got the console at the perfect time, because 1998 was probably the best year for the PlayStation, for games like Xenogears, Final Fantasy Tactics, Parasite Eve, Metal Gear Solid, Mega Man Legends, and the list goes on and on; still one of my favorite consoles and I still own mine from that Christmas.

I was at a buddy's house day 1 here when he bought his and playing Ridge Racer made me want one. It was in late spring 1996 I got mine. and i got Ridge Racer for it.I was 24 going on 25 then. I had all the games you showed in the video too . To this day i will always be a Sony Playstation fan of the systems. Happy 20 years of greatness Sony.

Your stories and memories are so relatable. I wrote my comment after pausing this video a few seconds into it. And it turns out your experience of the Playstation's early days is very similar to mine. It must have just been part of the spirit of the times. I was a Nintendo and Sega guy too, and like you I have lots of nostalgia, though I'm positive and enjoy the present and look forward to the future. So when change comes about, it has to prove itself to me before I'm fully on board.

I really believed for the longest time that the snes was my favorite system of all time, but when I think about the games that had left the greatest impact on me, I always go back to the original playstation games. The jrpg library for that system is so godly that I don't think any generation of the gaming and the systems associated to each specific generation can even remotely tough the amount of quality content that system had especially for the rpg genre. There are still so many jrpg's I need to play for that system, but when I think of the ps1 I think of pure quality.

Then throw in Donkey Kong Country games...oh and Killer Instinct....Chrono Trigger....yea, the SNES had an AWESOME library....PS1 did as well and its so cool that even to this day, they still offer PS1 games on the PlayStation Store. Tons of people still have PS3s which can play PS1 games.....there is no shortage of ways of playing those classics!! (Nintendo just re-releases them in different formats forcing you to buy them again. How many times is someone willing to buy Super Mario Bros??)

I actually think the PS2 trumps the PS1 in terms of JRPGs and everything else. The PS2 had a lot of titles for every genre and was at that breaking point where games still look pretty fine even today. I think back to persona 3, persona 4, ff10/10-2, ff12, SMT Nocturne, DDS1/DDS2, breath of fire dragon quarter, star ocean 3, valkyrie profile 2, shadow hearts 1/2/3, rogue galaxy, dark cloud 1/2, xenosaga 1/2/3, romancing saga, dragon quest 5/8, KH 1/2, Wild Arms 3/4/5/Alter code f and tons more great JRPG titles. PLUS all the great titles in other genres. Shadows of the Colossus, Okami, Burnout (any variation, gran turismo, jak and daxter, ratchet and clank, Vexx, disgaea 1/2, GTA 3/SA/VC, Devil May Cry 1/3, Onimusha 1/2/3, Killswitch, etc... People look back in nostalgia towards certain consoles, but I strongly believe that the PS2 out of all consoles just had the most quality titles. LOTS of sleeper hits that nobody played that were pretty good like Vexx, and then just tons of great games for every genre. God Devil May Cry was good and was such a revolution of a game, Shadows of the Colossus was just breathtaking and Okami is still one of the most beautiful games I've ever played. The PS2 literally just had everything you could want.

I seriously can't believe that the PS has been around for 20 years! That's just mind blowing. And, I can't recall how I ever got one for the life of me. Or why. I just know that once I got one, I pretty much switched ships from everything Nintendo. Why, I just watched this video on a PS3. (And, it gets a ton of usage.) Got so many games for all four systems. And, can you believe it? My PS1 portable is still running to this day! Monitor upgrade and all. (Except for the battery packs. Wore those out a long time ago. But, I could so easily install fresh rechargeable cells.) I do recall how I kept my original gray box running so long. Remember how reviving an NES required blowing? I basically used a can of compressed air and blew on the lens. So easy to access, thanks to the clam shell design. A quick burst upon the exposed lens and that old system was good to go...for a little while longer. Doing that to the PS2 was a dis-assembly pain. And, somehow, the PS3/4 don't seem to suffer that issue...that I've known of, at least.

I remember when PS1 came out. A friend of mine at the time picked one up along with Battle Arena Toshinden and we played that game constantly for weeks with the whole neighborhood of friends we hung around with. I picked up my own PS1 probably about 5 months later along with MK3 and an Aura Interactor Vest. I also was a die hard Nintendo fan but when PS1 came out and I started getting into titles like Tomb Raider, D, Final Fantasy VII, Disruptor, (the list goes on) I pretty much ditched Nintendo consoles after that. When King's Field arrived in the states (King's Field II in Japan) that was pretty much it for me. I became a lifelong fan of From Software and I've played though all of their games since then. While I don't have the time or money to play and own games from all consoles, it has been pretty much Playstation consoles since PS1 for me.

I was still sitting on consoles at home and I will admit being a Sega fan boy so to give money to the competition again like I was Nintendo was soooo bad lol. However I simply love games toooooo much to stick with one brand, that's why over the years I tried to get them all :)

I think I've written this on some other video of yours, but the Playstation still is my favourite console of all time. When my dad bought it in 1997 when I was 7 years old, it blew my mind on every level. The first game I played was Tomb Raider and I actually remember my very first attempt at playing a game in the third dimension, after being used to games like Sonic on the Mega Drive. It was fascinating then and still is today. So many great games...Oddworld, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro The Dragon, Driver, Street Skater, Alien Trilogy, Tekken...the list goes on and on...

Playstation was such a good console although I never had one growing up. Got the sega saturn in 1996 when I was 9. Only 1 other person I knew had the saturn, everyone else was playstation.

Awesome shirt! I used to make "want lists" too. I had a notebook full of games and their prices. For me Metal Gear Solid and Resident Evil were the life changers for me. Those types of games like Parasite Eve and Dino Crisis were these new types of games where I was really immersed. Being a kid at the time ya know I had N64, but I was always aware I was playing a game. There was points and sparkly collectibles, and things were kinda cartoony, but these new type of Playstation games were so realistic to me at the time. That's when I became more invested in games than ever before.

@matthewcgreen 9 жыл бұрын

I got a PlayStation in 1996. It was the first video game console I ever played, with Crash Bandicoot being my first game. So much nostalgia is tied up with the PS, with Crash, Spyro, and the Ridge Racer Type 4 demo providing me with hours of entertainment during my childhood. I wasn't allowed to play games very much back in those days, and so barely scratched the surface of its catalog. Still, I will always look back at the PS as a perfect introduction to the world of video games.

Great vid as always Jonny. I too never payed too much attention to the PS1. Going through EGM and Gamepro magazines, it was a page turner for me, I didn't care, on to the next page. I assumed it was another 3DO, CDi or Amiga crap console. Then one day I was working at my local arcade, and my buddy came running in to find me. He was going OFF about the playstation and Battle Arena Toshinden, he wouldn’t shut up about it. So I played it, thought it was a slightly better version of Virtua Fighter 1, not 2. Then I found out that MK3 was a launch title, and that sealed the deal for me. I was already playing MK3 in the arcade, and now I can play a perfect arcade port at home to practice! Sold ever since.

I can still remember these things vividly, like playing Crash Team Racing with my cousins or laughing at the absurdity that was Glover with my brother. Really good memories with the PS1.

More emphasis on story, characters, violence, sex and such. I received my PS1 Christmas '97 and it was awesome. Crash 3, Syphon Filter, Bloody Roar 2, Resident Evil, FF7, Power Move Pro Wrestling, Tenchu, and many other awesome games. Pure nostalgia goodness.

Man that brings back some memories. I got my PS1 in either 96 or 97 so I was like 11 or 12 years old at the time. FF7 was like one of my earliest memories for the system as well because I got it after the greatest hits version of the game came out. PS1 had so many good RPGs and I was glad because I had come off of playing the N64 and sad that it had like no RPGs but, the PS1 came along and it was like the skies opened and rainded down JRPGs galor and I was so happy. Two games I was kicking myself pretty hard over not picking up for the PS1 where Valkeyrie Profile and Breath of Fire 3 though I got a physical copy of Valkyrie Profile recently and need to play through it.

So hard to believe its been 20 years. I remember buying my system, I was still in High School, and I was a Nintendo 64 owner and wasn't so sure about Sony. I bit the bullet and bought it on a Friday, along with my first game, Resident Evil. I immediately took it over to a friends house to play. We played Resident Evil for a few hours, thinking we could probably beat it in one sitting, mainly because we had learned that the Playstation was not like the N64, and every game was going to require a memory card, and I had not bought a memory card that day. After a few hours of playing, we finally gave up and returned to the store to get a memory card, before continuing any further into game. Thus beginning the cursed period of the external Memory Card. Happy Console Gamer, the first video I ever watched of your was the corrupted memory card episode, and have enjoyed every episode since. Keep up the awesome work.

Yes, it does make me feel old, haha. I think I had a similar reaction to the Playstation, as you did. It was there, I didn't care much about it. I remember thinking four shoulder buttons was weird! It was the fact that Square went to Sony that caught my attention, for sure. I didn't actually get one, myself, until Metal Gear Solid, though. The ideas behind that game blew my mind, and I had to have a Playstation to play it. I've played so many incredible titles on the 'station, many of which you mentioned in this video, and it remains one of my favourite consoles of all time, without a doubt. Loved PS2, too. I wasn't a big fan of the PS3, though, and I haven't yet picked up a PS4. I think my last favourite console by Sony was the PSP! Great vid.

Nice video, brings back some memories :) Had similar experience like you, when the PS was first announced - just thought ok, another DOA console. But one day i went to my local video game store to pick up some Mega Drive games and they hat the PS up and running. The game was Resident Evil and I couldn't believe what I just saw there. This totally sold me to the Playstation and then I did the biggest mistake in my hole collecting history (well from todays standpoint, back in the days it was ok) - I sold my SNES with many great games... But I got the Playstation and Resident Evil (other day one pickups were Ridge Racer, Battle Arena Toshinden and Wipeout). The PS was modded to play imports as RE was the NTSC version. Violent video games had a hard time back in the days in Germany, so I relied pretty much on Imports. So I went home and hug this thing up to the TV and then.... I realized that you need a TV capable of NTSC or RPG to get NTSC games in color :) So I spend one year playing RE in black and white before getting a new TV. But this didn't bother me - RE was just to great even without colors.

My Dad made a bargain with me. If I made straight As then I could get the Playstation. I being not that great at school was determined to make those marks. However, with all the mental strength I had at the time I could only pull off mostly As. He said oh well better luck next time. Later that day of report cards he told me he was proud of me and I did the best I could do at the time. He said if we trade all your Sega games and system in at EB games we would get the system. I selected Warhawk and of course got the Playstation one. What a amazing time it was. The smell of a new console the glory of Full Motion Video! It was amazing and the DEMO DISC it came with when it originally came out AMAZING! Never had so much fun in my life. I thank my Dad for that moment it was truly a great treat for trying so hard. 6th Grade 1995.

I don't recall the year but I was at Toys R Us with my mum with the intent to buy the system and forego an allowance until it was payed off. Standing in front of the systems, my mum asks "Are you sure you want to get this?". Looking back at her I say "Yes." I was shocked to hear, "Good, your dad is setting it up at home now". I went back home to find the system set up with 2Xtreme (90's rollerblading kid here) and bam, I was racing on skateboards, rollerblades and bicycles with some kick ass 90's cheese rock.

Definitely my all time favorite console! I remember going to Block Buster to play the demo station they had in the store. I bought my PS1/PSX a few months after it was released in the states. I saved all my Christmas money in '95 plus all my allowance and lunch money for a few months so I could finally buy one in Feb 1996. My first game was Ridge Racer. The first 6 games I had for the console were in the giant CD cases. Ridge Race, Destruction Derby, Resident Evil, Sim Theme Park, Need for Speed and Twisted Metal. Crazy the stuff you can remember but the console had a big impact on me.

I don't have the system anymore, unfortunately, but some of the first games I remember playing for it are Auto Destruct, Crash Bandicoot, and Tekken 2. Awesome system!

Got my PS1 in 1998, I believe. It's always been the "RPG" console to me, even more so than the SNES. Legend of Dragoon and Legend of Legaia changed my life, seriously.

Being from the UK the snes hasn't got a patch on the ps1 since we got none of the RPGs over there that Americans talk so fondly about.. no chrono trigger final fantasy not even mario RPG Thanks to final fantasy 7 we got an abundance of JRPGS over here on the PlayStation 1

I was too young to remember the PS1's launch, but I do remember the console itself very fondly. When I was in primary school it was the console everyone owned and talked about. It really is a symbol of my childhood and the 90's in general for me. It is my personal favourite console of all time :)

I remember when this came out in the UK, there used to be queue's in Dixons to play on the demo console, it was months before I finally got to have a go. I got to play destruction derby and I remember thinking at the time how awesome the graphics and physics were. It was years before I could afford to buy one though but loved it! Great system and probably my biggest collection is the PS1. Mine broke as well, surface mounted fuses went and the controller ports packed up, managed to fix it but the rumble never worked again :p

the first time i played playstation 1 what i remember the most was playing the first tekken game and what blew me away was the cd sound compared to cartrigde sound from snes and sega genesis and i also remember playing resident evil 1 and having to restart each time i played the game up till i figured out that i needed memory cards to save the game good old times and playstation 1 has the best boot up theme!!!

My dad comes home with Street Fighter collection on ps1 and says "we can play it in a cd player, right?" I was so bummed, until he pulls out a brand new Playstation. Then my school called snow days every day that week. It was amazing.

I was playing Tales of Destiny on my PS1 yesterday! The PS1 is my favorite console of all time. I still play PS1 games on a regular basis. I cannot believe it turned 20 years old. FF7, FF8, Brave Fencer Musashi, Star Ocean 2, Suikoden 1, Suikoden 2, Tales of Destiny 1, Tales of Destiny 2(Eternia), Parasite Eve, Gekido, Ehrgeiz, Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil, Silent Hill, Crash Bandicoot 2, Xenogears, Pac-Man World, Tomba 1, Tomba 2, Bomberman.....the list can go on and on. The library of the PS1 is amazing.

Swapped a N64 for a PSX in 1997 and never looked back! Cool Boarders 2, Winning Eleven 3, Fifa 98, Crash, the demo-video of Gran Turismo that came on my demo disc... this all blew my mind back then. The N64 was such a huge disappointment. Never wished for a Saturn back then, as in Brazil you are very lucky if you own ONE console per generation. Best console ever? After SNES and Dreamcast for me. SNES was my childhood, and DC was my late teens playing online with friends. PSX in between that!

I was 15 when the ps1 came out. I remember back in September of 1995, I was ready to go to the local kb toy store in the mall and buy myself a sega saturn. Sega had this great promo at the time when you bought the saturn, you'd get virtual fighters remix, virtual cop, and I think daytona usa. As I entered the store I saw this demo they had for the playstation, with battle arena toshinden, and I knew I had to have the ps1. Amazing memories I had with this system

Still have my original PS1 and it still works. Such great memories with that system. While I loved video games before, I really think PS1 was the one to turn me into the gamer I am now. Hard to believe it came out so long ago now. Man has time flown by.

@dromano1977 9 жыл бұрын

I had just joined the Navy when the PS1 came out, and at that time I was a casual gamer. I had actually sold my Genesis before I left home. I would see guys playing it in the break rooms, mostly the sports titles, and didn't give it a second thought. Then one day, I saw a guy I knew playing Metal Gear Solid. My jaw hit the deck in amazement. The next payday, I was off to the mall to get my very own. I remember we had a ceremony for some admiral on our ship some later weekend. Since I was one of the wardroom cooks, I had to work. When it was over, my buddy and I snuck a keg of beer, and stashed some leftover food in our berthing. We spent the next 48 hours playing Metal Gear from start to finish. It was a great time.

I got to know about it back in '97 I think. My uncle brought over his newly purchased Playstation to my grandma and we played some good ones like Croc and Rayman. I don't remember when it came out, heck I'm only 21 now. But I do have a lot of awesome memories with it.

Got mine in the summer of 1997. First game was the Demo One disc which had Abe's Odyssey, Hercules, Lifeforce Tenka, Rapid Racer, Overboard, Rage Racer, Kurushi (Intelligent Qube) et cetera. Then I modified it to play foreign (and pirated) games such as Final Fantasy Tactics which was not available here in Europe.

My best memories of playstation was back in 1997 around the holidays when i went to Best Buy and played the Battle Arena Toshiden demo when they were introducing the Playstation to the public. Later in the fall of 98 i came home after school and i saw my sister and mother playing Crash Bandicoot 2 and i realized that we finally bought a PlayStation i was so excitedd then 2 weeks later we went to Walmart and bought Tekken and Tomb Raider 2
