Original PlayStation Startup Intro (PS1)(PSX)

Hooked up my Old Play Station today after a few years or since I bought my PS2 back in 2004.

Always thought the original PS1 had the best Intro.

0:08 to 0:14
Come on, come on, come on... YES! It works!

Wow 20 years ago already.  Time flies.

[Abstraiit]

this is the most extraordinary sound ever created so much feels in just few seconds

[HikariNeko]

i get goosebumps when i hear this;;
oh the memories

[russellblack]

This is the soundtrack to part of my childhood

[BLARGHALT]

And then it stays on that screen forever because the disc is scratched.

[MrYokokurama]

Love this sound. Reminds me when i would wake up early in the morning on the weekends and play spyro 2!

[Billum]

I remember asking my parents or my older sister to turn the PS1 on for me when I was little. The sound from it still brings shivers down my spine.

[robminmonaca]

Man this brings back so many memories. It made you feel like you were going into a time machine or spaceship.

RIP Tohru Okada! Your Music will forever stay in our mind!

[HeskeyBoy]

A million people came to hear this startup theme. This is why the startups on consoles is very important!

[Flegan]

Those were the days. Those were the days indeed.

[GEORGIANATOR]

Crash Bandicoot, Tekken, Tomb Raider, Megaman omg I miss these days!

[Stikmanas]

The intense moment when you wait, to know if the game is working.

[alyssajones]

"This game contains scenes of explicit violence and gore"

boy does THAT bring back some kickass memories!

[KloudtheKiller]

I used to love when it goes the that 2nd, sparkly sounding part. It used to let me know that my game is on point!

[exmachinainap]

This hit me right in the nostalgia... my first console was the ps1, man time flies

[DEADmetal]

Fuck mate, this intro strikes me hard. I want to experience all of that again. All that wonder and atmosphere of PS1 games, it was and is so dreamy and unique, especially after jumping to PS1 from Sega Genesis... it was perfect. Even back then i loved this intro because it was an intro into PS1 adventure world and that was the best adventure world you could have (arguably, it still is today).

I miss all these games... no, i don't actually miss the games as much as i miss playing them back then, on PS1! Tomb Raider 1 to 5, Fifth Element, Red Alert 1 and 2, Driver 1 and 2, Twisted Metal 1 to 3, Nectaris, Ace Combat 3 (JP), Formula 1, Colin McRae Rally 1 to 2, Need For Speed V-Rally, Gran Turismo 2, Vigilante 8, Worms, Theme Hospital, Carmageddon, Wip3eout, Tenchu - Stealth Assasins and some games i don't remember.

I miss going out and changing CDs with the kids i knew, i miss the 'physical' multiplayer which required playing with my childhood mates at their places or at mine. I miss the love and hate relationship with memory card, i miss blowing into CD to make the game work, i miss the smell of new CDs and the smell of the console when CD cover was open (especially when it was new), i miss the controllers, fuck, i even miss the color of the console and the green power LED!

Thank you PS1 for my childhood. However, it is very hard finding a person who shares same sentiments today. The problem is time, responsibilities and social environment. Many people who have enjoyed PS1 have forgotten it. The most awesome people in the gaming world are the people from that old generation who started at 8 bit then gradually climbed the gaming history ladder and have strong sentiments towards these old experiences. They are very few, compared with masses of todays gamer kids who started from league of legends, Xbox 1 or PS3 and don't know a gameplay other than online and some game that they have seen a popular youtuber playing oh and also, the graphics 'must not suck'. Very valuable things in gaming culture have indeed been lost.

--- edit:

Internet accessibility and social networks have pretty much ruined peoples childhoods, adulthoods, and eventually - their adult lives. There is too much cringe, retarded, cancer content and the worst thing is that it gets upvoted in social media. Creational value (of movies, games and music) is strongly degraded as everyone seeks popularity within this young and ruined internet public.

Look at the majority of lets play videos whose authors are targeting at kids who prefer dumb jokes over immersion and quick rewards over quality content. These lets play videos not only ruin the understanding of what gaming is about, for most viewers but their idea spreads like cancer, plus, they make a demand for new games even dumber.

that moment at 0:12 when you prayed that your game CD will work.

That sound is everything, i miss it :(
