For me ps1 have the best start up ever

Pure nostalgia, this is man. No one can ever compare the feelings you get from hearing that PS1 Intro, and remembering your childhood, and the good times. Still glad I still have and play on my PS1, and PS2 till this day. Nothing will ever be like this, how I wish I could go back to the good old days. How time flies honestly. Let alone, next week on the 19th of April, I'll be 20. Still going strong in 2022, as I play these iconic PS1 games.

I live in small city of 15k people in Greece and luckily we had a video club that also had like 10 playstations and 4 nintendos 64 with big tvs. It literally had over 500 playstation 1 games. You could play whatever you wanted and the price was 300 drachmas for 1 hour, which is like 0, 60 euro in today's standars, which is a really good deal in my opinion. I have so many memories of 4 player Goldeneye 64, Mario Kart, Twisted Metal 2, Red Alert, Mortal Kombat, International superstar soccer (that later became PES football), Resident evil and many other games. I think it was somewhere around 1997. Later they added 3 PCs with dialup connection and we played online for the first time with players from all over the world. Starcraft brood war. However the computer price was very expensive, something like 4-5 euros for 1 hour.

Fun fact: The main reason for the fog in silent hill was to hide the low draw distance... A lot of games had to work around this problem...

This is compounded by the ps1 lacking hardware polygon sorting. It was up to the developers to tell the hardware what polygons to draw in what order.

One interesting solution to both this and culling, is in the old crash bandicoot games: each level had presorted lists of polygons to draw at any given point along a level. It used more disc space, but ended up helping the lush graphics of the crash games really shine at the time...

I recently purchased PSOne in summer 2021, but i had no regrets. I have one game but i don't get bored with it, so in my opinion it's worth buying :D
Edit: seriously, no jokes and no regrets!

I just love how you could walk into gamestop and have a hard time choosing what game you wanna get that day. The game’s selection were that good back in the ps1 and ps2 era. Ps1 was just something else and a definite classic

I want to disagree with the assertion that PS2 and PS3 consoles can play PS1 games, mainly due to some issues I've run into in the past with trying to do just that. On the PS2, there was this issue where sometimes the PS1 games wouldn't play at all, and those that did play on it had a tendency to corrupt memory cards when saved through the PS2. As for the PS3, I found the aspect ratios were stretched and squashed, and similar to my PS2 experience, the save files would frequently get corrupted. The PS2 models I've had so far have been SCPH-15000, SCPH-39001(refurbished) and SCPH-70000, and the PS3 model I own and still have to this day is CECH-3001B.

That said, I know that not everybody's experience will be the same, and perhaps mine is a rare case of repeated mishaps that have lead me to mistrust the act of combining PS1 games with PS2/3 hardware. If people would still rather play that way, I'm all for it! Just be aware that there is a greater chance of mishap that way.

That's all I have to say. Great video! This was very entertaining!

I appreciate the focus on how important Tomb Raider was at the time, it really catapulted the concept of 3D gaming to branch outside of shooters and racing games and into the world of platforming. And the trilogy is still so fun to this day. Really excited for the remasters announcement for that trilogy ❤

I still own my first Playstation which my mom gave to me 😭 on December 15th 2000 that PS1 still bring me so many nostalgic sentiments from the best years of my life

[TSniper]

I still have my PS1 and my old 20” Sony Trinitron. Best chapters of my life. I miss it so much.

[anre]

I think I still rate the PS3 the most for 2021

PS2 slim also has a top loader for CDs (and DVDs). I know it's a revision, but it can still count :D Also, first iteration of PS1 console SPCH1002 has more connectors from the back (red, white and yellow) and the best soundchip - so many turn their consoles into hi fi systems. If you ever want to tackle this theme again, there is so much stuff to talk about.. Otherwise, great video! ;)

I've got the playstation one with two controllers, all the cables to plug it into the TV and two games for just 15 € (~17$)
I bought it at the flee market and I cleaned the console and everything. It works perfectly fine. They also had a controller for the super nintendo, which I was sad I didn't get (it was the money of my father anyway) the only thing that's missing is a memory card

The games are tomb raider the last revelation and sim city 2000

More muted audio for the intro, yay copyright claims. Also apologies for the blackout at 2:19 to 2:50, something stuffed up with the encoder.

This was my first ever EVER console. Nostalgia

[fawkkyutuu]

No 3D era was ever more experimental and memorable than 5th gen PS1, even though 6th gen Is technically the GOAT with the most classics, PS1 Is the all time 3D KING of nostalgia.

[christhedixiecrat]

Still got my ps1 I found in my local salvation army years ago, I lost my original in a move. Got it for free at the time cuz it had no wiring or controllers with it. I was born in 94. And remember that old gaming as a Good times.

Best Start Up Music and Console of All Time

Peak nostalgia for me!!
I grew up playing NES and SNES but nothing will ever compare to being a teenager with my Playstation!!

minor add-on point, before the first DualShock controller there was a 'dual analog' controller which had only 1 rumble motor in the Japanese version and didn't have any rumble motors in the west. It also had slightly longer grips than the DualShock / DualShock 2 controllers. The dual analog also had inverted joystick caps more like modern controllers instead of the bubble shaped caps that we got on the DualShock, DS2 and DS3.
