My favorite console of all time. I remember buying MK3 a month before I even got the system. FF7, Metal Gear Solid, Squaresoft at their peak. So many great memories from an era when I actually had time to play all the games I wanted to.
I was 18 when Resident Evil came out, it was mind blowing. I remember me and a bunch of friends taking turns trying to get through it for days strait. Great times.
Merry Christmas everyone! 🎄🎅🏻 The PS1 is still great to go back too. If you can get over the blocky polygons (most of us from that era can), so many awesome games. All those Final Fantasy games, Driver 1 and 2, Gran Turismo, both Medal of Honor games, Road Rash 3D, Tekken 3, and of course Metal Gear Solid. Original 3 Resident Evil games are classics. The demo discs we got back in the day to try the games from either PlayStation Underground but especially Official PlayStation Magazine was so damn cool too. Great memories
@@tr1bes from my experience the loading times at least for the most part weren’t that bad. I’d rather have a loading screen than the game tell me i need an expansion pak to play a game.
What a great conversation! Appreciate Megadan being involved again. I was born the same year as Robert, I think you said 1994 before. Just missing the ps1/5th Gen was unfortunate just like not being able to experience all the great movies music and sports of that time too. I got to play Spyro and a couple others very young but I wish I got to experience those heavy hitters! There is a lot of truth in that it is difficult to go back to that Gen .. but to focus on the great times you guys had was very wholesome. Cool time capsule. Happy holidays to everyone.
N64 is rough going back to. I have no problems going back to ps1. Also hearing the term “it’s rough to go back to”. Like it was the 90s they were still figuring shit out
@ i disagree cause even with a hdmi mod some of the games are still jank. But ps1 most of the games have stood the test of time but I guess the same can be said about n64. Some games still look decent to great.
I'm the opposite. There are still so many N64 games that I love going back to, but a lot of PS1 games are hard for me to go back to with the exception of the 2D games and Crash Bandicoot.
Even though I was an N64 kid, we did get a PS1 later and the games it had perfectly complimented the gaps in the N64 library. It really got me hyped for the PS2 because I knew the flaws it has with graphics and loading times would be solved the next gen and we all know gen 6 was awesome. Fighting Force is the game I have to mention. It’s been a while but I remember playing that co-op and liking it better than any of the 2D arcade beat em ups.
PlayStation one took me for a long ride! Resident evil one freaked me and my cousin out during that era, and FF7 and I.Q. was in rotation for quite some time. MGS, Tomba 1&2, Mega Man Legends 1&2, Thrasher Skate&Destroy, and just so many RPG’s! 30 years of experience and greatness!
Preordered my PlayStation at Software Etc with Ridge Racer and was blown away when I got it and found out that I could take the game out after initial load and replace with my own CD to listen to my music during gameplay. Never forget that
Let’s be real the PlayStation 1 will always be a classic, Spyro, Driver, Crash Bandicoot, Tomb Raider! So many amazing games came out an set them up for future success with their ps2. Sadly though not many games hold up for me on PS1 these days it’s just a tad bit too dated personally for me, but I’ll always have a special place for it in my memories. Merry Christmas guys!
As a late GenXer this was my college freshmen console. Played the heck out of someone else’s for years before I got my own. My first one that I owned was the dual shock variant. What about Battle Arena Toshinden?
Wow, 30 years of PS1! Crazy… spot on talk. I’m still finding things I didn’t know existed at the time like the Namco NeGcon controller. Paired with R4 Ridge Racer, excellence! Cheers!
Merry Christmas fellas. If you were born in 90 like myself. The 5th gen is massively nostalgic. I also agree it hasn’t held up well lol. 64 and PlayStation were the first 2 consoles actually bought for me. Christmas 97 and Christmas 99. It’s funny at the time PlayStation was considered way cooler but now the N64 has more of a revered collector following. It’s sort of same story with PS2 and GameCube.They both had their strengths and weaknesses. I think PS1 games had way better graphics than 64. I was heavy on the Crash, Spryro games and Tekken games. All day haha. Also a console playing CDs was cool as hell. Maybe it’s just me I also fell PS1 games had way more cutscenes and actual spoken voices then the 64. I guess limitations of the cartridge format?
The PS1 will always be my favorite console of all time. The library is insane. It's definitely a little rough looking at times, but I find it's rough edges charming these days. If you guys have never tried Rapid Reload (Gunners Heaven in Japan), I would recommend it. I think you guys would dig it. Great video! ❤
A skipped a day at school to collect my ps1 preorder in the uk. I had one game battle arena toshinden and my mind was blown. The original pack in demo disc with one playable level of destruction derby was just insane! Recently started re exploring the ps1 again despite some now terrible looking games the game play is incredible. Not forgetting some of the epic 32 bit pixel art games too! Great video guys as always, love the channel, merry Christmas 🥳🎄
PS1 is my nostalgia. Brilliant video. Best video you have done this year. I loved playing ridge racer and tomb raider. Thanks for the early Xmas present. Have a great Christmas.🎅🏻
I didn't discover light gun gaming until I got into imports and my first mod chip. I used to go to this import game store as a kid and I saw they had Biohazard: Gun Survivor playing on the screen with the guncon 1. I was like "What!?? This isn't even out yet! I've gotta get this game and a modchip now!" Later I tried to get my friends to play with the 2 screen setup for TC 2 & 3 but it was like pulling teeth. All anyone wanted to play was Timesplitters, COD, Red Faction, etc. Oh well at least I tried. PS2 couch multiplayer era was still awesome 👍🏻
Meta comment; I flag all videos as 'not interested' when UA-cam shows me them a second time. The red bar at the bottom of the thumbnail of this video almost made me do that before I noticed it had just been uploaded.
Having an older brother I had a NES SNES and Sega Genesis growing up but the PS1 was my first console. Diablo 1 was my first obsession in gaming. The Syphon Filter series was top tier to me. The Doom portal was sick as well... Besides Diablo I didn't mess with the RPGs and it is still one of my favorite consoles of all time.
Cool discussion, guys! I only have 31 PS1 games on my shelf and I play them on a PS2. Star Wars Jedi Power Battles is good dude! I have it on both PS1 and Dreamcast. Should make sure to give it a go this year! Hopefully, 2 player! Happy holidays, fellas!
Not gonna lie... the PS1 graphics didn't age well but it damn well had an awesome fun library of games that still play great till this day. I found my self back to playing the old school crash bandicoot series, the resident evil series, the spyro series & more.
and i would like to thank ps1 for giving us spyro because thanks to that we got spyro on skylanders which is one of the first video games i ever played so thanks ps1 cheers to the ps1 and to my favourite channel gaming off the gird
Merry Christmas y'all . I play PS 1 weekly . Ridge racer 4 , Dino Crisis 2 , and on the N64 F Zero X , And Star Fox. Play and look great on my OLED handheld. Emulated games run better as and at 60 fps on most games . So I'm Hooked on these titles.
The first Playstation was the second console I ever owned but I have most of my nostalgia for the ps2 but I go back and the old wrestling and sports games on the ps1 that I have and i tried playing silent hill got scared and haven't played a silent hill game since and just got into rpg's
Great video fellas. Im curious why everyone is celebrating the Japanese anniversary of the PS1. Next year is the 30th anniversary of the NA release... Regardless, I'm always down for a PS video
The original A01's are peak Sony. True backwards compatibility. With one console you could play the entire PlayStation catalog. PS4 is when Sony started going downhill.
The PS1 generation was the biggest jump in graphics to date. No other generation has made as big as a leap. Just the overall jump in game quality, and size was massive! All types of games would pull you in like a great novel , not just JRPG’s. So many great franchises. PS1 is on top of the gaming Mount Rushmore. Such a great blessing to those of us who lived through it.
The games may have been ugly, but they played well and the stories were great. Now the games are pretty but everyone forgot to make them fun.
PS1 era games didnt necessarily age well. But I think the PS1 library is amazing.
It didn't age that well, but compared to the n64, it's great. lol
My favorite console of all time. I remember buying MK3 a month before I even got the system. FF7, Metal Gear Solid, Squaresoft at their peak. So many great memories from an era when I actually had time to play all the games I wanted to.
Mk3 is the greatest
Same here man square was on fire back then same with Capcom
I was 18 when Resident Evil came out, it was mind blowing. I remember me and a bunch of friends taking turns trying to get through it for days strait. Great times.
Man mk3, nba jam te, tenchu and ridge racer were all so good!
Merry Christmas everyone! 🎄🎅🏻 The PS1 is still great to go back too. If you can get over the blocky polygons (most of us from that era can), so many awesome games.

You forgot the atrocious LOADING time.

@@lewisgrant7622 💯 agree. Loading over season passes and loot boxes any day

N64 is rough going back to. I have no problems going back to ps1. Also hearing the term “it’s rough to go back to”. Like it was the 90s they were still figuring shit out
The N64 is still the greatest 3D system of all time.
Tho pricy, the HDMI modded ones are stellar.
@ i disagree cause even with a hdmi mod some of the games are still jank. But ps1 most of the games have stood the test of time but I guess the same can be said about n64. Some games still look decent to great.
You can go back to ps1 and not n64? Weird since n64 has better graphics. Both are great how is one harder to play than the other
I'm the opposite. There are still so many N64 games that I love going back to, but a lot of PS1 games are hard for me to go back to with the exception of the 2D games and Crash Bandicoot.
@@Danny-xm1pe I’m the opposite cause I grew up with PlayStation so it’s easy for me to go back to a lot of ps1 games
I wasn't on the PlayStation train until the second iteration.
I was completely enthralled with the Nintendo 64.
Don’t sleep on PS1 2D games. Megaman X4 and Castlevania still hold up! Also, y’all remember Polygon Man? PS1’s first mascot.
Even though I was an N64 kid, we did get a PS1 later and the games it had perfectly complimented the gaps in the N64 library.

Best system for RPGs along with SNES. It's why both are my top 2 favorites systems of all time.

Almost forgot, merry Christmas all
Happy Christmas both :)

PS1 was an awesome console! Great videos guys ! Merry Christmas to all! 👍🏻🍺🎄
Watched my buddy play Final Fantasy 7 start to finish over a whole summer.. didn't let me play once. Good times 😂 A superb console
ALL 2d games from the 32 bit gen are simply incredible.
As a late GenXer this was my college freshmen console. Played the heck out of someone else’s for years before I got my own. My first one that I owned was the dual shock variant. What about Battle Arena Toshinden?
Still have my Twisted Metal and Need For Speed in original black boxes and NBA JAM T.E. in the big jeweled case.
Lets goooo! MEGA DAN ..going back to resident evil 2 and crash is always good
Had one imported from Japan . Jump in jack flash I believe was a 3d platformer. Then ridge racer still class. The first tomb raider and wipeout .
*Merry Christmas everyone* 🎅
Wow, 30 years of PS1! Crazy… spot on talk. I’m still finding things I didn’t know existed at the time like the Namco NeGcon controller. Paired with R4 Ridge Racer, excellence! Cheers!
5 twisted metals don't forget small brawl
I always had beef with PlayStation 1 because I blamed it partially for the demise of my beloved Sega saturn, I have been enjoying the games now though
Sega killed themselves
great video cool to see dan on there and i do have a ps5 and you guys are right that ps1 intro is awesome
There are 5 Twisted Metal games. You’re forgetting Small Brawl.
Yup, with R/C cars.
Merry Christmas buddy’s!! 🎄

Do you guys have the PS1 Classic/mini?
Robert has mentioned it previously a few times. Theirs is modded.

Gonna go play some PS1 before I blow my radiator...
Ps1 games can be hard to come back to. The 2d games still look great though. Symphony of the night and the mega man games come to mind
Having an older brother I had a NES SNES and Sega Genesis growing up but the PS1 was my first console. Diablo 1 was my first obsession in gaming. The Syphon Filter series was top tier to me.

I only have 31 PS1 games on my shelf and I play them on a PS2.
Star Wars Jedi Power Battles is good dude! I have it on both PS1 and Dreamcast. Should make sure to give it a go this year! Hopefully, 2 player!
Happy holidays, fellas!
I was there! 3000 years ago!
Project overkill is by far my favorite ps1 game
Not gonna lie... the PS1 graphics didn't age well but it damn well had an awesome fun library of games that still play great till this day. I found my self back to playing the old school crash bandicoot series, the resident evil series, the spyro series & more.
Not only are PS1 games better than the NES, but it also has a much, much bigger library of good games.🤪
Gen5 is very rufff … GEN six is the goat
and i would like to thank ps1 for giving us spyro because thanks to that we got spyro on skylanders which is one of the first video games i ever played so thanks ps1 cheers to the ps1 and to my favourite channel gaming off the gird
Megadan!!
Merry Christmas y'all . I play PS 1 weekly . Ridge racer 4 , Dino Crisis 2 , and on the N64 F Zero X , And Star Fox. Play and look great on my OLED handheld. Emulated games run better as and at 60 fps on most games . So I'm Hooked on these titles.

Great video fellas. Im curious why everyone is celebrating the Japanese anniversary of the PS1. Next year is the 30th anniversary of the NA release... Regardless, I'm always down for a PS video
I’ve seen and have all from 1980-Now many years and decades of greatness from gaming I like PS1 it’s a RPG Juggernaut just like the SNES and PS2
I used love felony 11-79 & overboard & the obvs ones like resi & of course smackdown
The greatest console of all time, creativity was at an all time high
Another banger 🔥 😎 😌
Most people in United States didn't have a ps1 until '95 or even '96. I wouldn't considered it 30 years old yet
Doesn’t make 30 years in North America till next year
The PS1 and PS2 was great and the PS3 was average at best and honestly it started going downhill from there.
The original A01's are peak Sony. True backwards compatibility. With one console you could play the entire PlayStation catalog.
PS4 is when Sony started going downhill.
The PS1 was Nintendos originally but they pulled out of deal with Sony biggest mistake Nintendo ever made
It's what!?!
Hi Guys, try ps1 "OMEGA BOOST"
Space Mech Game💪😎🤩
Merry Christmas 🍻🤘
MGS❤❤❤❤
The PS1 generation was the biggest jump in graphics to date. No other generation has made as big as a leap. Just the overall jump in game quality, and size was massive!
