In memoriam: The Playstation
It's 25 years now since Sony announced their entry into the home console market...
There were more than 3,000 titles* released worldwide for the system. What are your favourite memories of the original incarnation of a console now into it's fifth generation? What games did you play to death?

I'll go with what you said and add Wipeout to the list. Played that to death and one of the few games I completed from start to finish.

Didn't know this was released on the PS... wouldn't Speedball 2 have been out by then? Obvs a big hitter at the time on Atari ST/Amiga.

Let's not kid ourselves though, the daddy of the proper generation of games consoles, before this shitty online connectivity etc and social media, bakc when you used to get your mates over to actually play the games with you, will always be the PS2

Suikoden and Suikoden II, possibly my two fave games ever.
Also countless hours into Gran Tourismo II.

Strangely the only PlayStation I never owned. Not sure why, maybe I fell out of love with gaming for a while.

Re: In memoriam: The Playstation
Can still hear the booting up noise. It was a great console and I can see why it completely overtook the market.
Quite a few games I owned but the ones that got the most time were
Final Fantasy 7 and 9
Tony Hawks 1-3
Street Racer (round a mate’s house)
Rayman

Mortal Kombat & Crash Bandicoot from my very poor memory on these sort of things.
Re: In memoriam: The Playstation
Just added Project Eris to my Playstation Classic and added a ton of old PS1 classics and obscurities to it. It's actually a pretty decent machine once you hack it - which you wouldn't know from half baked state they released it in.
