The Playstation...1

General Discussion

This is probably the right section…

Who else gets manly tears at the playstation 1? Stop and think a minute. That system gave us 3d gaming, had the last good final fantasy’s, and was without a doubt the best jrpg system ever. And jrpgs were awesome back then, and they still are. I am 200+ hour into skyrim and I have no idea why I am still playing it.

We got 3d sports games, our first taste of weird japanese games, and final fantasy tactics. That game has not been surpassed for like 15 years now. We had the suikoden series too. Tony hawk 1, the twisted metal and resident evil series…

I am bringing up this nostalgia because I was browsing through an emu iso list and thought, wow…and remembered games that seemed to last a lifetime with 50-60 hours gameplay that I skipped football practice for and would actually gather at somebody’s house to play with other friends with our wired controllers while throwing dorito bags at eachother and yelling " YOU SUCK BITCH!!" after I had mastered how to do a super move or something cheap in a basic ass pre - 2001 fighting game. I am looking at you Bushido Blade…post your salutes and recognitions…I know most of us had one…

parasite eve!!!

It’s games are still around. Save your manly tears for Saturn and Dreamcast.

A lot of bullcrap in the first post, no offense, but Sat/PS1/64 era was definitely the last time the gaming world revolved around the ideas coming from Japan. The graphics (on console) were poor but the ambition behind the games were really high. A LOT has changed since that short time period.

The PSX is to the PS1 what Tekken’s Bob is to Hwoarang.

PS1 Had a lot of good hits

When I think PS1, I think THPS. I literally bought a PS1 just for that game. I had all but given up on video games and THPS forced me back in to it.

And then… magic…

No it’s not. Shut up.

15

I still play my PS from time to time. I shed no tears for it as I love games today just as much as I loved them back in the PS days.

16

What.

17

lol had the same problem, apparently I have an obsession in making my characters overpowered as hell.

Edit:How the hell did I not mention THPS? I remember my brother and I were very competitive in that damn game, he managed to do a million point grind combo in THPS3, forgot which stage it was though. They need to make more games like it, fuck realism I want to do a backflip off a ramp and grind for score multipliers!

Don’t buy in.
His troll powers exceeds that of a normal user.
