In the early days of the Playstation in Europe the big system seller was Wipeout. Just about everyone i knew that owned or played a Playstation played Wipeout. Playstations playing Wipeout were even installed in Night Clubs for the 18 to 30 audience Sony was targeting. No other Console had anything like Wipeout at that time and Sony captured their target audience instantly. To say Wipeout was huge in Europe is a massive understatement, and it was definitely the first game i bought when i got my Playstation. I also got Ridge Racer as that was a near perfect Arcade port for the home which was a big deal back then. Excellent video, cheers.

I still remember when my friends dad bought him one, he invited me over to play it. At the time it was like playing on some otherworldly technology. CDs? For your games? Memory Cards? Game Saves?! It even plays your music CDs too? What the hell?! Later on when I finally got one, we would play Destruction Derby Via the Link Cable on 2 separate TVs. It was amazing! The playstation 1 is my favorite console of all time!

I didn't get the system at launch. I was 13 or 14. I pretty much begged my parents and did chores for a whole year until I got it on the following Christmas. I'll never forget the year of paging through the newspaper and magazines drooling over it. Those were exciting times. (No internet back then) My top 5... probably Twisted Metal 2 Destruction Derby Resident Evil Resident Evil 2 Colony Wars

Kileak: The DNA Imperative is still a fun game and i also liked espn extreme games, its a decent road rash clone but it is really hard

I would love the one day have mint condition complete set of all the long box PS1 titles

The earliest days

Awesome video! Ridge Racer and Battle Arena Toshinden were my favorites of the launch titles!

I have to do a ps1 video lol its one of my next retro videos its about a Japanese game i like. Watching youd video today i was wondering what games came on what console like what was the first game on this console and that console lol

I still have my Battle Arena Toshinden Demo, No Problem! I never give up! Yells hahaha

I'm starting to sound like an old man, but ps1 games were so fun, nowdays games make me angry (AAA games)

I pity everyone who wasted so many hours of their lives on the PS1 -a console that "beat" Sega in large part because millions of people wanted to play hundred-hour RPGs that Sony had and Sega lacked- and the number of hours per game only got worse and worse with the evolution of the hobby since then. I think I could play VF2 start to finish in five minutes (each round only lasts a few seconds once you're good at the game) but those JRPGs, MMORPGs, etc., truly ruin people's lives.
