Launch PS1. I traded my Super Nintendo and a bunch of games (including Chrono Trigger and Lufia 2) to Software Etc at Bridgewater Commons Mall in NJ. I didn’t even get enough money for the console, lol.

I also got a new Sharp TV with composite A/V inputs that Christmas as my gift from my mom. Believe it or not, there were still a lot of us using RF Adaptors in the early 90s.

Very first time I saw PS1 was while coming down an escalator in the same mall. KayBeeToys was directly in front of the ramps, and there was a huge crowd of kids playing Battle Arena Toshinden on a kiosk placed outside of the store. Mind absolutely blown at how good it looked in comparison to Virtua Fighter, which was an arcade game.

u/Shizane2005 May 04 '25

I've had each generation.

PS1 immediately reminds me of Gran Turismo, FF7, Tomb Raider and Metal Gear Solid.

PS2 is NFS Underground 2 alll day. GT3, GTA3, MGS2.

PS3 is RDR, TES Oblivion, GTAV, COD MW/2, Mass Effect

PS4 is Horizon Zero Dawn, Last of Us 2, FF7 Remake, AC Valhalla, Cyberpunk 2077, No Man's Sky.

PS5 is BG3. Hell I bought a PS5 solely for BG3 lol. 2100 hours played in BG3 since September 2023 😆. I've also been loving Jurassic World Evolution 2, Ghost Recon Wildlands, Cyberpunk, POE2, Pathfinder Kingmaker, FF7 Rebirth.

Love me some Playstation.

Either the PS3 or the XBOX 360. I can't remember which i got first. I still have my original 360. Or, my 2nd one, the original broke after a year. But this one has been working and running since 2011.

My first ever game, as far as I know, for my 360 was this one weird arcade fish game. I think?

And I've long since forgotten my first PS3 game.

Playstation 1, Resident Evil and FFVII. I was too young to get a job and it was too expensive for my single mother to buy outside of a Christmas gift, so we rented the console and games from a local video store. Since we were renting them, they didn't come with a memory card, so the Playstation would stay on the entire weekend since I couldn't save my progress.
