Anyone remember demo disks? They were so good at making me excited new upcoming games at the time. I'll always remember Playstation Underground. Feels like a different universe. A far off dream.
I still have a bunch of them. They were the best for determining whether or not the game was worth full purchase. Plus sometimes theyd come with cheats and tricks for other games. I remember pizza hut had a promo order a pizza get a demo disc. It had Metal Gear Solid on it, when I tell you I played that demo for longer than it was suppose to go LOL.
Aw man, I remember getting those thick guide books that would give you every little detail and tip on playing the game. Now you just Google it or surf UA-cam videos until you find the correct info you're looking for.
Had chrono cross original ntsc but I live in the UK so had to do the quick 'swap' sometimes it would load and I wouldn't get the colour. I was always disappointed this never came out in the UK. Final fantasy was one of my all time favorite game series but chrono trigger, cross and legend of dragoon were definitely up in my top 5 rpgs of all time.
For me, it brings me back when I can't afford gaming but was still able to find ways (work, sidelines etc) to be able to afford a PS1 when the PS2 was already around 😝
I'm sure you could lump it with after launch patches but day 1 patches too. You know the updates that give you 90 percent of the content not on the disk
Also, they didn't require an uninterrupted internet connection in order to be played even if it's completely unnecessary. We also had GOOD single player games all the time, instead of everything being multiplayer just because (which defeats the whole purpose of being a shy person who finds a safe place in videogames). Games were made with love, because no one realized the gold mine videogames industry is.
@mariaa.7624 my kid doesn't understand why almost ALL of my games are one player games.. I played solo, was too broke for internet at the time and $40 once for a game that could give me thousands of hrs of replay value was money better spent vs $40/mo I could ill afford.. he marvels at how difficult my original NES is to play
The end credits if Metal Gear Solid always makes me cry. Not only was the game so powerful and such a defining moment in my childhood. It just brings me back to a time in my life I can't have again.
Feel you. Experienced MGS 1 on psx at 14. I'm 38 now. The Best is yet to come is one of my favorite songs of all time. Makes me cry. Do not forget that the times you are NOW living are the times you will miss and never have again in 20 years. Don't waste it !
The 90s was definitely a golden era- great stories, characters, music, and gameplay. I still go back to play from that era and the very early 2000s. They never wear out for me.
Absolutely. Gaming had finally hit its stride and settled fully into 3d. Nintendo 64, Playstation and PC were all regurlarly churning out genre defining masterpieces across the board. Quite frankly if you limited yourself to one platform in some pathetic "platform war" you were missing out. You either found a way to own all three or made damn sure you knew someone who owned the ones you didnt. I was lucky enough to own all three and treasure multiple games from each one. The best era of video games ever bar none in my opinion.
me too,.. no input lag, no superlight mouse thing, no nvidia reflex, no pages with mathematical graphs with optimal performance..., just sitting down and playing without those variables (well... just the best joystick lol), I really miss the gameplay of the past, it was x100 times more exciting
GRANDIA 1 Main theme was absolute peak, sounds just like a full orchestra inviting you to forget everything about school and stress, to go on a grand adventure !
Dang I still remember the timing which decides whether the game will load or not 🥲exactly at that 00:15 is the critical moment. Oh the nostalgia. This music is purely associated with happiness 🤩🤩. My first ever game was The Adventure of Little Ralph.
The whole chrono cross album was just so well done. The amount of times I'd leave the overworld song just runnion my old CRT TV whilst i puttered around cleaning my room or reading a book. So good.
@@AmateurGameReview not just nostalgia... the business model was different. There were more games with proper testing and quality control. These days creative IPs are watered down and injected with politics.
I am a huge PS1 fan, it will always be my favorite system. that being said i watch ALOT of music compilation videos on youtube, and i love the fact that you add the game to the little tv screen and switch it up for each game. i know it takes extra editing but its appreciated.
Gosh the video reminds me, as a child i lived in a orchard, beautiful place and during winter it got dark and we had a ps1 for christmas during the dark evenings that loading up sound and crash bandicoot we played all night. Truly a 90s child moment
Definitely nostalgia for me, i had just graduated from high school and was working at Electronics Boutique at the time. (1996-1999) I remember, as a sales person, talking and getting people excited about FF7, Symphony of the Night, Gran Tursimo, Metal Gear, etc. bittersweet memories for me.
I still have my old PS1 and trust me, 3 or 4 games from back in the day will give you more hours of entertainment than having 30 games on Steam. Good old days when games weren't scams as a service, full of bugs or endless patches because they never intended to give them a complete development.
Listening to this especially the ps1 intro makes me wanna go back to my childhood and just advice my self to enjoy your life as a child because no matter whatyou do you will never ever going to feel the joy your feeling today.
Man, each and every one of these games were absolute bangers. I don't think I could compile a list of as many on PS5 that are half as good without dipping into remasters from prior generations.
We have to admit video game industry is not always rising, like everything else, up and down. At least for music, these old time music still can't be matched.
Great collection of songs, so many awesome games! Great trip down memory lane, wish my kids would love these games too but times are just different now. Brave Fencer Musashi track was pure ear candy. What an amazing time for gaming!
Tomb Raider changed my life. The music was incredible. My Dad and I would play 1 and 2 together when I was between 5-8 years old. Just thinking about those times lights up serotonin I didn't realize I had anymore.
Wild Arms main theme slaps to this day! The amount of times I reset the PlayStation to relisten to that track over and over again as a kid, I genuinely couldn’t count. Still makes me emotional hearing it even 30 years later ❤
@@AmateurGameReview i did, it was a lot of fun! The main theme is a banger! There's a whistle version which is great and there's a sung version too that, if i'm remembering correctly, changes the second time it plays later on in the game
I wasn't expecting this arrangement of PS1 music to make me actually sad and emotional. I forgot how incredible and creative the music and stories of PS1 games were.
Final fantasy 7 metal gear solid and Resident Evil 2 really brought me back my older brother, who's 8 years older than me got a PlayStation and we shared it in 1996 with Resident Evil and Crash Bandicoot me being 4 and him being 12 I played crash while watching him play RE1 then later RE2 in 98 great memories with the system after he moved out in 2000 to live with his dad he left me the ps1 and i blasted that system for almost another 3 years as i got a ps2 Christmas 2002 this is an amazing playlist they sure dont make music like this anymore
Listening to The Best is yet to Come, I can still hear Naomi's words! "We all have a choice of the type of life we want to live. The important thing is that you choose life. And live."
Chrono Cross blew my mind as a kid! Scars of time still gives me chills, but now it has a heavy bittersweet feeling of nostalgia. Im 40 and i bought the remake last year to play. Was great playing it again at first, but i couldn't finish it because of weird feeling i get when I play it. Like I've lost something very important to me, but i have no idea what it is.
"Tragic Prince"… I never realized just how much I liked this song. When I was younger, Lost Painting was the song from Symphony of the Night for me. But looking back, Tragic Prince might actually be the most iconic track of all. But nothing beats the old PS1 startup screen. No matter which game you played the most on that system, you always had to sit through that iconic startup sequence first.
FF VIII was my first FF and I loved it! The songs were so good that I will never forget the OST! The landing song makes me wanna play it again x) And that ending with MGS... that brings something from the past!
ngl i played most of the title here in late 90s to early 2000s. what a nostalgic feel it was. Now games become so ridiculously realistic and complex. While modern title gives you best experience you can get... but you do occasionally miss the vibe of PS1 era. This is really the Square era of rpg.
If you mean the intro video for Chrono Cross. Then I soooo strongly agree. I would watch it again and again. Practically everytime I started up the Sony to play. The song still gives me chills
Flowers Blooming in the Church simply destroys my heart. How can a PS1 sound be so emotional ? I guess it has to do with the nostalgia and the feelings from the game's story, but it simply sounds so sad and nostalgic ! Of course this OST was used where it was used, it feels as if you've lost all sense of happiness and purpose, as if all inocense and silliness in the world just dissapeared. Nobuo Uematsu was a true genius during the SNES and PS1 era.
Na próżno szukam w dzisiejszych grach, tego co zostało w moich wspomnieniach. Takie gry już nie wrócą. Od wielu lat próbuję znaleźć ta radość płynącą z grania. Dzięki za wstawkę, pozdrawiam.
I still remember how new and innovative the PS1 was when it was first launched My brother and I received one each for Christmas along with demo disk 1 and the graphics just blew me away Coming from the Commodore 64 and Mega Drive it was like stepping into the future The good old days
Wow man you have some serious heavy hitters here. From Resident Evil save room to the awesome soundtrack that FF8 was. Loved the opening bass of that scene when the mission to Dollet starts. Seriously I found a new playlist to use while I’m grinding the day away at my desk. Great video my friend seriously
Oh man, Crossing Those Hills… That theme always makes me tear up like a little wuss. Even though Final Fantasy VIII was my introduction to the series, FF9 and FFX will always be the pinnacle of Final Fantasy for me.
1996 i got ps1 and we stay long history for 10 yeas. I will never forget this songs They are part of our lives now. And we feels a small tasty of this pass hear those soundtracks. Ty for share .

chrono cross, final fantasy 8 and legend of dragoon to this day are some of my favorite games ever. i will always be a 17 year old kid on summer vacation when i think of these games.
As a Survival Horror kid, the Resident Evil 2 Save Room track always gave me an anxiety release and feeling of safety lol. And the Silent Hill Theme will always get me going.
It was an era when game genres blossomed, offering a variety of fantasies, stories, and cultures to experience. But most of the games we can play today have nothing to offer beyound realistic graphics and non-sense correction.
It always blows my mind what componists back in the day were able to do with such limited ressources. Video games were still a niche and budgets weren't even close as high as today. When I hear the songs of Nobuo Uematsu it sends chills down my spines. Because they are not only extremely good for songs of games in that days, they are extemely outstanding in general. With FFVIII he really outstripped himself, that soundtrack is 100% perfection.
Yep, right in the beginning. Any time I hear Dark Souls 1 menu music my eyes just kinda glaze over lol. Some mega nostalgia there... Chrono Cross is good. If you like PS1 and/or turn-based you should have a good time with it. Vagrant Story is the PS1 game I always suggest to the Souls fan though. Can't recommend it enough.
@@egocide9034 Oh, and yes, I too get immediately taken back when I hear the DS1 music. That soundtrack is seared into my brain at this point. I wish I could experience DS1 for the first time again.
The tracks from Kileak: The DNA Imperative stand out most to me from my development with the PS1, it's tracks captured the essence of the individual environments. Tomba and Tomba 2 were sleepers with amazing soundtracks, enthralling in areas, driving in others. Brave Fencer Musashi needs no explanation. That one's tracks are legendary. Lastly, Psygnosis made some amazing games with some amazing tracks, Colony Wars, Shadow Master.. I hope my likes spark some love.
FF7 - flowers blooming in the church - I remember pausing the game to take a break after a hard session, and for some reason it was always this music. It would loop in the background and I'd just be at home just doing whatever, but still somehow connected to the FF7 world. I think that is part of what induced so much nostalgia.. I wasnt just playing the game, the game was printed into my life then.
Totally agree ! Never had such level of immersion in any other kind of narrative medium ! FF7 felt as if we all lived in this fantastic universe during the several days it took to complete the game (some other classic JRPGs were close, but none at this level).
The Xenogears track hits hard. It was the first RPG I played "on my own." No guides, no one playing it before me telling me where to go. It was such a pure gaming experience.

Im 40 and i bought the remake last year to play. Was great playing it again at first, but i couldn't finish it because of weird feeling i get when I play it. Like I've lost something very important to me, but i have no idea what it is.
Starting off with Chrono Cross is a fine choice.
"Tragic Prince"… I never realized just how much I liked this song. When I was younger, Lost Painting was the song from Symphony of the Night for me. But looking back, Tragic Prince might actually be the most iconic track of all. But nothing beats the old PS1 startup screen. No matter which game you played the most on that system, you always had to sit through that iconic startup sequence first.
FF VIII was my first FF and I loved it!
The songs were so good that I will never forget the OST! The landing song makes me wanna play it again x)
And that ending with MGS... that brings something from the past!
ngl i played most of the title here in late 90s to early 2000s. what a nostalgic feel it was. Now games become so ridiculously realistic and complex. While modern title gives you best experience you can get... but you do occasionally miss the vibe of PS1 era.
This is really the Square era of rpg.
i was in love with this video from the first song.
I'm glad you enjoyed it
If you mean the intro video for Chrono Cross.
Then I soooo strongly agree. I would watch it again and again. Practically everytime I started up the Sony to play. The song still gives me chills
Flowers Blooming in the Church simply destroys my heart. How can a PS1 sound be so emotional ?
I guess it has to do with the nostalgia and the feelings from the game's story, but it simply sounds so sad and nostalgic ! Of course this OST was used where it was used, it feels as if you've lost all sense of happiness and purpose, as if all inocense and silliness in the world just dissapeared.
Nobuo Uematsu was a true genius during the SNES and PS1 era.
That was a mistake in your grammar right and you don’t mean that he isn’t still a genius? Listen to the fantasian ost
I lost most of my happiness and purpose a long time ago
The loss of my innocence was terrible
What I wouldn't give to go back to those days again
The Wild Arms intro is just unbeatable.
Na próżno szukam w dzisiejszych grach, tego co zostało w moich wspomnieniach. Takie gry już nie wrócą. Od wielu lat próbuję znaleźć ta radość płynącą z grania. Dzięki za wstawkę, pozdrawiam.
So much good music! .. I used to play the Wild Arms opening on repeat, it was truly awesome!
I still remember how new and innovative the PS1 was when it was first launched
My brother and I received one each for Christmas along with demo disk 1 and the graphics just blew me away
Coming from the Commodore 64 and Mega Drive it was like stepping into the future
The good old days
Wow man you have some serious heavy hitters here. From Resident Evil save room to the awesome soundtrack that FF8 was. Loved the opening bass of that scene when the mission to Dollet starts. Seriously I found a new playlist to use while I’m grinding the day away at my desk. Great video my friend seriously
Thanks!! I love that scene too and it's exactly why I put it on here. I still remember the first time I did that dollet mission when I was a kid
@@AmateurGameReview oh absolutely I remember! I remember that scene was on a demo and I was instantly hooked way before it was released
PS1을 처음 했던 우리들은 어느새 40대 50대의 나이가 되었습니다. 같은 추억을 공유할 수 있어서 정말 좋네요.
Thank you so much for bringing back memories! 😭🖤
You had all the FFVIII to show one song. And you chose the best. Great mix.
Lol first part had me worried. Seriously though that game has some amazing tracks
When the first theme is chrono cross, you know it will just get better and better
The mellow jungle drum and bass from ape escape is just sublime😂
SO many good memories with the ps1 boot up sound. Thank you.
Ape Escape…. Man I remember going to my friends house and we’d play this all the time. It was hard back then! Great music.
Wild Arms.
The first game that I played for the PS1.
Hearing the main theme song was an absolute nostalgia bomb for me.😢
this sure was a trip down memory lane, thank you! unfortunatly i miss some of my greatest bangers: soul reaver, destruction derby 2 and c&c 1
Oh man, Crossing Those Hills… That theme always makes me tear up like a little wuss. Even though Final Fantasy VIII was my introduction to the series, FF9 and FFX will always be the pinnacle of Final Fantasy for me.
1996 i got ps1 and we stay long history for 10 yeas. I will never forget this songs They are part of our lives now. And we feels a small tasty of this pass hear those soundtracks. Ty for share .
Thank you for sharing your story
Ending with "The Best is Yet to Come" is perfect.
The Metal Gear Solid DEMO OST is still somethin' incredible

So many memories, glad I've still got my original Sony PlayStation.
Same here!!
This is tearing me up, I wanna go back to these times, when I could share playing games with my brother before he passed.
chrono cross, final fantasy 8 and legend of dragoon to this day are some of my favorite games ever. i will always be a 17 year old kid on summer vacation when i think of these games.
Beginning with Sony Bootscreen and ending with "The Best is Yet to Come" - this music compilation nails the PS1 feeling.
As a Survival Horror kid, the Resident Evil 2 Save Room track always gave me an anxiety release and feeling of safety lol. And the Silent Hill Theme will always get me going.
It was an era when game genres blossomed, offering a variety of fantasies, stories, and cultures to experience. But most of the games we can play today have nothing to offer beyound realistic graphics and non-sense correction.
It always blows my mind what componists back in the day were able to do with such limited ressources. Video games were still a niche and budgets weren't even close as high as today. When I hear the songs of Nobuo Uematsu it sends chills down my spines. Because they are not only extremely good for songs of games in that days, they are extemely outstanding in general. With FFVIII he really outstripped himself, that soundtrack is 100% perfection.
My goodness that Chrono Cross menu music is absolutely magical.
I never played Chrono Cross (something I need to fix), however the opening of that first song reminds me so much of the Dark Souls 1 menu music.
I'm about to go watch my own video just to see if you are right haha
@@AmateurGameReview Hahahaha. Well, it is a good video, so enjoy 😁
Yep, right in the beginning. Any time I hear Dark Souls 1 menu music my eyes just kinda glaze over lol. Some mega nostalgia there...
Chrono Cross is good. If you like PS1 and/or turn-based you should have a good time with it. Vagrant Story is the PS1 game I always suggest to the Souls fan though. Can't recommend it enough.
@@egocide9034 I have been wanting to pick up Chrono Cross on the Switch for sometime now, but the port seems to be sub-par unfortunately :(
@@egocide9034 Oh, and yes, I too get immediately taken back when I hear the DS1 music. That soundtrack is seared into my brain at this point. I wish I could experience DS1 for the first time again.
The tracks from Kileak: The DNA Imperative stand out most to me from my development with the PS1, it's tracks captured the essence of the individual environments.
Tomba and Tomba 2 were sleepers with amazing soundtracks, enthralling in areas, driving in others.
Brave Fencer Musashi needs no explanation. That one's tracks are legendary.
Lastly, Psygnosis made some amazing games with some amazing tracks, Colony Wars, Shadow Master..
I hope my likes spark some love.
Metal Gear Solid 1, "the best is yet to come" is the best 🎉❤
FF7 - flowers blooming in the church - I remember pausing the game to take a break after a hard session, and for some reason it was always this music. It would loop in the background and I'd just be at home just doing whatever, but still somehow connected to the FF7 world. I think that is part of what induced so much nostalgia.. I wasnt just playing the game, the game was printed into my life then.
Totally agree ! Never had such level of immersion in any other kind of narrative medium ! FF7 felt as if we all lived in this fantastic universe during the several days it took to complete the game (some other classic JRPGs were close, but none at this level).
Playstation start up and Ape Escape is classic! Love it! Glad to have experienced those times! Thanks for posting this!
I got nostalgia chills from a few of these gems. What an amazing time for games ❤
Grandia for sure was absolute peak in story telling and game play.
God damn.
The Xenogears track hits hard. It was the first RPG I played "on my own." No guides, no one playing it before me telling me where to go. It was such a pure gaming experience.
I didn't play it when I was younger unfortunately so I don't have those memories with it. Played it a few years ago though and it still holds up
What I noticed about these games that modern games don't have is a start menu. No game wants you to press start anymore and I feel that.
Huh. That's actually a pretty good point
30 years !
