Playstation turns 20

The PS2 and PS3 had some of the greatest games of all time.

PS1 games have aged poorly and most of the big ones have or are getting remakes (Resident Evil 1 and 2, MGS, FFVII, etc.)

I kinda wanted to play FFVII even with outdated graphics, but I guess I'll just wait for the remake.

To think, the Playstation was created because of a failed partnership with Nintendo to create a CD add-on for the SNES.

I bought one to play games like Tekken and Twisted Metal.

Man, that takes me back. I didn't really give a sh*t at first, I had a SNES and an N64 so I was set, but then my buddy showed me WCW vs. The World and I'm like, "OK, I'm gettin' me one."

FF7 and MGS defintiely clinched it too. My sister got it for me for my Birthday in 1997. Good times. I never really picked up a ton of games for it but I played it to death regardless. Poor thing was struggling to stay alive by the time I got a PS2. Then some asshole stole it anyway so I never even got to give it a proper burial.

People stealing my video game sh*t has been a sad but strongly recurring theme in the story of my life, incidentally. It's happened to me like five separate goddamn times.

One of my friends had his PlayStation stolen from him on our senior ski trip (which I didn't go on), but then it was returned to him.

Also, even though I never owned one, I'd say that my best memory of it was seeing PlayStation ads at bus stops. I don't think any video game systems were ever advertised that way before then. That's when I knew things were somehow changing for video games for the better.

20 years? I would have guessed Sega or SNES was 20 years ago. Just another indicator that I am getting old.
I just recently bought a used PS1 to replace my original which has been acting up and only plays about half of my games anymore. I sat down to "try" a few games to make sure it worked...3 hours later I was pretty sure it worked

Twisted Metal 2 and Resident Evil 2 sucked me right in. The only thing that is disappointing is the gun for games like Area 51 and Crypt Killer is not functional with newer HD TVs. I'm almost considering buying an old tube tv just so I can play those and duck hunt again.
