PS1 I only remember children

Original play station It was a big deal at the time because Sony was a big electronic manufacturer who was jumping into the game environment. It was a bold movement to challenge Sega and Nintendo, the two games in the 80's and 90's, but gambling survived Sony in the console war, but did not do it.

that Ps1 It was the first console for many gamers today, and fans have very distinct memories that young gamers cannot imagine today. It is difficult to imagine the 90s without a big library such as PlayStation, RPG, Flat Former, and Shooting Games. This is M from the game to the technical achievement.PlayStation 1 The most noticeable Emori for fans.

Memory card

I can't get back home

When the player grows up with other consoles such as NES or SNES, it was used for cartridge storage when the P1 fits on the shelf. But this new high -tech generation needed a memory card to store the game, and the PS1 was one of the first big example of making this switch. It has been a clear accessory for PS1, but the player who bought the PS1 and started the game without a memory card has awakened.

Nobody wanted to lose progress in the game, especially in RPGs, so many players ran the console and rushed their parents' electricity until they could go back and receive PS1 memory cards. They will not be touched by the power outage across their fingers. This was good before it was easily delivered from Amazon, so I actually had to go to the store to buy a storage space and save the game. Thankfully, the PlayStation and other consoles are no longer required for the PlayStation and other consoles unless the player calculates the extended hard drive or microSD card.

Insert the PS1 game into a CD player

It still works

Among many things, PS1 was more advantageous than N64 because it used disk -based technology. It was inexpensive for the company to print the disk and the savings were delivered to consumers. The game of the N64 has been doubled in the late 90's, so there is a cartridge manufacturing cost of our sky. Since the PS1 used disks, many people can play music disks and video games, so they have been treated like home music players.

Then there was a secret of the PS1 disk. You can play on other music players. The biggest example must be Castlevania: Night SymphonyIt was not a music CD to the players, but he explicitly warned that he played the music when he was placed on the CD player. This initial example includes: Twisted metal and Tomb. When the player tested this idea for the first time, it was an experience of catching the mind.

Play the game upside down

PSX was strange

Originally, gray play stations are often called PSX and the reinstate design is called PS1 or PSONE. Except for the name, thanks to the laser leader of the console, the original gray design has made the reading disk more difficult over time. Sometimes a perfectly new disk could not play on the console.

To solve this problem, someone knew that it would have a better effect if you turned the console somewhere. This trick was delivered along the playground without origin. No one knows why it works, but it became a known trick in the 90's. The same is true of the Xbox 360 generations of Red Ring of Death, except that the PlayStation fan has found a cheaper solution rather than sending a console for or repairing it. Imagine that there is a strange modification similar to the PSX's flipping method, such as playing the switch upside down for a better frame speed in the modern console.

Enter the analog

Controller

Originally, the PlayStation controller performed light and necessary work correctly. Three years after the console debuted in Japan in 1997, Sony launched dual analog and dual shock controllers, adding two sticks and vibrations to the original controller design. All games released since 1997 did not support new controllers at first, but often resumed new settings.

for example, Resident Evil 2 D-PAD was still best suited for game tank controls, but there was a separate plate that supports new controllers. Another good example was the first example Escape, The two sticks are well used between movements and actions. The support for these features was everywhere, but the player still remembers how amazing it is to use two sticks on the controller.

I like Konami games

Metal Gear Solid

System

Released

October 20, 1998

ESRB

Mature, implicit subjects, violence, over 17 years of age due to blood and gore

Beyond the technical aspects of the PS1, let's mention some exclusive games that brought the player's mind in the 90s. Metal Gear Solid It is a great example for various reasons because it pushes storytelling in the game and boasts complex gameplay mechanisms. There was also a psycho mantis boss fight. Game director Hideo Kojima used this opportunity to use PS1 hardware well.

Psycho Mantis can read the player's memory card when playing the Konami game. Castlevania: Night Symphony,,, Suikodenor Vandal Heart, And he will mention it during the fight. Psycho Mantis had more cases of games that could be detected in Japan, but for the title that went west. To defeat the psycho mantis, the player had to put the controller in the second controller slot of the console. Again, it was a stunt that broke the fourth wall in a way no one saw before, and this boss fight is still often mentioned today.

Final Fantasy 7's narrative value

Is this real life?

PS1 RPG was good before 1997 Final Fantasy 7 The roof flew completely. The advertisement leading to the release of the game felt like a phenomenal event. A lot of PS1 player RPG fans were created that day when I protruded the disc and looked at the introduction cut scene. However, the CG cut scene did not end because the fans had the first thing to wake up weapons from the Northern crater by launching the first Canon.

Beyond the cut, the in -game graphics have been seriously dates, but the typical RPG was more than realistic that the graphics gained in that era. The turn -based gameplay was solid and the story was mature and interesting. It was SquareSoft that this was actually a new era. Final fantasyAnd they were right Final Fantasy 7 Legacy is still in progress in 2025. PS1 is this game Metal Gear SolidThe lineup that other consoles cannot be duplicated at the time.
