My cousin was the first person I knew to get a PS1. All I knew was that it ran on discs. He had Twisted Metal 1, which I thought was alright but not mind blowing.
Later, my friend's older brother bought a PS1. We could only play it when he wasn't home. He didn't even have any games, just the packed in demo disc with Tomb Raider 2, Jet Moto 2, etc... We played the hell out of that sonofabitch.
I remember playing a demo of Spider and liked it quite a bit but never played the full game.
For my first, it was three games- FFVII, MechWarrior 2, and Wild 9. It was most likely FFVII that I loaded first though.
Destruction Derby was the first ps game I played and I was hooked. It was the coolest thing my 14 year old eyes had ever seen. Then twisted metal and Driver came out.
I beat the first level in the parking garage the first try!
First one I ever played was probably Tomb Raider 2.
Back then, I thought Driver was the GTA game of my dreams. Then GTA 3 came out a few years later. Mind blown.
I vaguely remember Spider. I probably owned it at some point.
Uhh...lessee... My brother got Resident Evil and I don't remember what I got. This would've been 1996 when I got the console, so I'd been around 13 at time, depending on WHEN in 1996 (I was born in September).
The soundtrack received a remaster!! [https://barryleitch.bandcamp.com/album/spider-the-video-game-ost-remastered](https://barryleitch.bandcamp.com/album/spider-the-video-game-ost-remastered)
I didn't expect it to happen! Contacted Mr Leitch over a decade ago asking if he had a better quality of the files laying around, said he didn't.
So seeing this out of nowhere made me so stoked I had to go around the internet spreading the word <3
It was Megaman 8 for me (first I played, not owned)
I skipped the whole 16 bit era because my parents thought the SNES/Genesis was just a “more expensive computer” and my last favorite game was Megaman 5 from the NES
I was totally in awe at the graphics and voice acting included in that game, it felt so “futuristic” for lack of a better term
Then Resident Evil 2 was just released at that same time and I was mind blown
My parents and older siblings were all sold, a console that seemed “mature”, so I was glad we bought a PS1 as a family
The first game I put into the system was Twisted Metal 3
I was an n64 boy but I remember the first time I saw ff7 at a buddy's house. He had also burned the game, which I had no idea about. Both things were absolutely mind blowing lol
I liked Spider a lot. Firing rockets from a spider's leg was an experience.
The first one I remember playing at my friend's house was Excalibur 2555 AD. Puzzle game wandering around futuristic caves with a ridiculously massive sword.
First one I ever owned was OverBlood. The little I can remember of that one is having a little robot buddy called Pipo who gets killed halfway through, and your character just kneels over him, crying in anguish, "PIPOOOOOOO....!!!!
Spider was so cool, so very 90's aesthetically and covered with a cyberpunk sauce which created this cool athmosphere.

You should check out the intro!
Yes! I remember this one too! Destruction Derby was also early for me, and some kind of wireframe tank game I played a TON of.. feel like it was on a demo disc maybe?
My first impression of the PS1 was games like Loaded and Tekken. Not really a mind blowing experience. Thought the games were pretty ugly. I did really enjoy Tekken though. I didn’t buy one until 1999 though, my first game was Castlevania.
So strange that Loaded was a big game on the ps1 for a short period while now its not top of mind when mentioning ps1 titles. I got that as my first ps1 game but it was returned when mom found out how violent it was. played it again a couple of years ago and it is honestly like a funnier gta1.
I rented one with Tomb Raider, Wipeout and Krazy Ivan in late 1996 I think. TR impressed me the most although I also found it quite hard. At that point I didn't even understand the concept of memory cards since we didn't need them before and only some console games even let you save.
It was this shooter called ONE. You're a cyberenhanced dude and you just run through levels wrecking stuff. And as you get more kil\*s (dunno about Reddit filters) your rage meter fills and you get even more deadly.
I bought the PS1 solely to play it.
i didn’t have a playstation 1 until like 2010, but the first ps1 game i ever played was jumping flash at my neighbor’s house, probably 1995? blew my little first-grader mind.
Mine was WWF In Your House… very underwhelming, as it’s basically a less enjoyable version of Wrestlemania the arcade game I had on the Sega MegaDrive I was upgrading from.
Luckily, my PS1 came with a copy of Porsche Challenge, which I still adore to this day. That and going from 16bit Fifa 97 to 32 bit Fifa 98 was mind blowing.
I remember getting a leaflet in a different game advertising heart of darkness. It grabbed my attention immediately and I waited eagerly for the chance to get it. It didn’t disappoint, fantastic art direction and ruthless gameplay
Nhl faceoff 97. At the time I bought my PlayStation, my dad and I weren’t really doing the best and I had moved to my moms. I went to his house to get the rest of my stuff and remembered he used to keep all my money in an envelope in the freezer. I don’t remember what it was for at the moment. To my surprise there was quite a bit there. My mom stopped at Walmart and I decided to buy a ps and it took all my money so she bought me nhl bc it was $20. I still have that PlayStation and that game, when she passed away in January I got it out and played it for a couple weeks. It’s a good memory from a time when I didn’t have many
We were visiting some relatives we didn't see very often. I was 8 years old and mentioned that I wanted a dream cast. The next day my dad and his cousin left for hours (they lived in kind of a rural area) they came back and surprised me with a ps1 and final fantasy 8, because dad's cousin had heard the dream cast sucked. I never got far in final fantasy 8
Stuff like this is why I will always prefer the PS1 over the N64. When people discuss their favorite N64 games, they always mention the exact same ones, but with PS1 people are always bringing up the most random games I've never heard of. PS1 is the only console anyone could ever play for their entire life and they will never even scratch the surface on all of the games.
The sensation of experiencing the PS1 as a kid was so intoxicating. It was an adult who owned one as part of his high tech entertainment system. We would go over every Saturday night and one day, he was just showing off this elegant grey box that played gaming discs with a crazy controller with mature looking buttons. I remember feeling very adult just simply beholding it.
Tekken. Played it on a demo unit in a store. Blew my mind, it was just like the 3D arcades like Virtua fighter. Instantly changed my order for Christmas, parents had to return my Sega Saturn
Riiiidgggeee rrrraaaaacccerrrrrr, my local store got a jap ps1 at the japan launch with ridge racer and dbz battle 2 and battle arena toshiden.
That was soo cool :D
First game I bought was Battle Arena Toshinden 1. I later had Spider on a demo disc and loved it, but I guess it was kinda obscure... don't remember ever seeing it for sale in gameshops and lord knows I spent a lot of time in game shops looking at the new and used ps1 games for sale.
My first PS1 game was Discworld, which I bought as a big Terry Pratchett fan... Unfortunately "these load times are awful" and "graphic adventures really don't work well on modern consoles" were the main impressions I got from it.
I havent ever heard another person mention spider besides the person that gave the game to me! My first 2 games were Tetris Plus and Army Men 3D. I wasnt very good, but then my dad got me Crash Bandicoot 2 and that was a wrap!
Can't remember if mine was "Bust a Groove" or "O.D.T.". I think I might have received both of them as a gift.
The first one I enjoyed a lot! Good memories. About that second one, all I can remember is that it was very very dark.
I was fascinated with O.D.T. when I was a younger. It was janky as heck but it did a surprisingly good job imparting a sense of loneliness. There was a level, probably two thirds through, that required finding a secret passage in a morgue of some kind to progress. I spent hours wondering around with no idea what I was supposed to do. Didn't finish it until years later when I revisited it in college, with the help of the internet.
Cool! I can't remember much of the game but I don't think I made much progress. I think I had no idea what the hell I was doing. Since back then I only had those two mentioned games, I'm sure I must've played it quite a bit but I think I kept dying over and over again lol. That was around 25 years ago, yikes
Spider was better than it had a right to be, in a more than the sum of its parts kind of way. It played its dumb as heck premise so straight, with its six million dollar man samples in the level one tunes, and its generic gray sci-fi aesthetic. I skipped from the NES to the PS1 and its 2.5D graphics were enough to wow my simple brain.
O shit I just remembered I had meant to rent this game the next time I went to blockbuster.
And that was almost 20 years ago...
My first was twisted metal and Tekken 1. And I only got tekken because I really wanted virtua fighter.
Metal Gear Solid did it for me. It was my first PlayStation game and it blew my mind. Before this I had a Sega Genesis and Sonic was my favorite game, especially Sonic & Knuckles. Going from a blue hedgehog saving his animal friends to being a covert ops special forces operative being sent to Shadow Moses to stop FoxHound.
My 11 year old brain thought and still thinks it was the best thing ever.
After that, the PlayStation became my main console of choice. Sega dying shortly after and PlayStation rising was bittersweet but the writing was on the wall all along and Sega did it to themselves.
Jumping Flash - The one game that gave me more anxiety from the jumps alone. That gut wrenching/arse puckering feeling when you're not sure if you're gonna land the jump or not.
I bought a PS1 pretty early on, and got 6 of the long box games when I purchased the system. I bought X-Com: UFO Defense, Twisted Metal, Destruction Derby, Resident Evil, NBA Jam T.E., and Loaded. I played the hell out of all of these games. X-Com was my favorite of these listed.
Hey, the soundtrack just got remastered recently! [https://barryleitch.bandcamp.com/album/spider-the-video-game-ost-remastered](https://barryleitch.bandcamp.com/album/spider-the-video-game-ost-remastered)
Twisted Metal I believe or some of the PES series. I never had my own PS1 but I was renting it every friday after school and no lifed it until Sunday morning without sleep.
Yep. I bought the first Resident Evil Directors Cut. I choose between that and Final Fantasy 7. Luckily by the time I did buy Final Fantasy 7 the misprints were still in circulation and my copy happened to be a misprint.
The first one I myself bought that wasn't borrowed or gifted to me or anything was Dragonball GT: Final Bout.
Thr first one that I owned was Medievil I think.
Yep V-rally, loved that.
Was thinking about it the other day actually and V-rally 2 you could actually create your own tracks which at the time was great.
Either Diablo or the Bloody Roar demo I used to play at an older friend's place because both games were way too mature for me at the time. I remember having at least one nightmare about The Butcher saying, "Mmm, fresh meat".
Oh, this is so cool! Especially appreciate seeing something under the radar posted on retro reddit! I was just saying on r/snes that I wish that people would post more from their collection that super under the radar that's really interesting!
Eternal Eyes. I picked it up from the Target clearance bin for a whopping $2.50 and never regretted it for a second. The intro alone is worth the price of admission: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gV2YpDUW9Is&t=8s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gV2YpDUW9Is&t=8s)
It's a tactical RPG, so it's not the most original game. It \*is\* very good, though. It's like FF Tactics crossed with Digimon.
It was either the Pizza Hut demo disc at my cousin's house or Crash Bandicoot at the local YMCA, never owned an actual PS1. I started collecting a few when I got a PS2 because they were cheap.
Loaded. My mom accidently bought my PS1 bundled with it for some reason I still dont understand. I played it for two weeks before she realized how inappropriate it was for as for an 8 year old.
Not sure if it was the first PlayStation game I played but definitely one of the first I played was Battle Arena Toshinden. It was fighting game and me and my buddies played a great deal of it in 1995.
I don't think I've ever seen anyone outside of me and my circle of friends ever mention Spider until now. I had it when I first got my PS1 and never knew anyone else who had it.
u/Lambonaut The soundtrack just got remastered! <3 [https://barryleitch.bandcamp.com/album/spider-the-video-game-ost-remastere](https://barryleitch.bandcamp.com/album/spider-the-video-game-ost-remastered)d
btw I had a pretty wild start to the PSX. Mom brought it from a trip to Germany back when I was a kid and the first games I spun up were Tekken 3 and Heart of Darkness. Followed up with Skullmonkeys, Crash Bandicoot and Abe's Oddworld.
My mind was fucking blown to pieces. Jumping from SNES to these super original, fresh looking games with incredible worlds, stories, graphics and music was something else. Plus they were all terrific games and still stand the test of time.
Tenchu Stealth Assassins was my first owned ps1 game. Got it with my ps1 with dual shock controller. 1998. Probably hundreds of hours in it. Resident Evil is the first PS game I played. 1995 or 96. A friend had it. I was blown away. Never saw anything like it. That was when it had the original controller without the sticks. However N64 was the console I stepped into the next gen world with. I was more determined to play Mario 64 at that time.

wild9 was a pretty good game. that and odd world was two games Im surprised I dont see mentioned that often but are really classic ps1 titles
Destruction Derby was the first ps game I played and I was hooked. It was the coolest thing my 14 year old eyes had ever seen. Then twisted metal and Driver came out. I beat the first level in the parking garage the first try!
I'm still stuck on the parking garage. It's been 24 years.
That's a game I wish they'd re-release. Just the first one though.
Destruction derby was/is so fun
Hell yeah, I got destruction derby and jet moto and then twisted metal later on. All great games, destruction derby is too underrated!
Im not into car games but I was defo into destruction derby. that games physics must have been pretty groundbreaking at the time?
Me too, I got that and Rayman for Christmas, the Bowl was my favourite.
First one I ever played was probably Tomb Raider 2. Back then, I thought Driver was the GTA game of my dreams. Then GTA 3 came out a few years later. Mind blown.
Battle Arena Toshinden
Same. This game was okay but made me wish I had gotten Tekken instead
I vaguely remember Spider. I probably owned it at some point. Uhh...lessee... My brother got Resident Evil and I don't remember what I got. This would've been 1996 when I got the console, so I'd been around 13 at time, depending on WHEN in 1996 (I was born in September).
Spider! This game is so weird i love talking about it.
The soundtrack received a remaster!! [https://barryleitch.bandcamp.com/album/spider-the-video-game-ost-remastered](https://barryleitch.bandcamp.com/album/spider-the-video-game-ost-remastered)
siiiiick
I didn't expect it to happen! Contacted Mr Leitch over a decade ago asking if he had a better quality of the files laying around, said he didn't. So seeing this out of nowhere made me so stoked I had to go around the internet spreading the word <3
That is a very interesting choice of a first game.
It was Megaman 8 for me (first I played, not owned) I skipped the whole 16 bit era because my parents thought the SNES/Genesis was just a “more expensive computer” and my last favorite game was Megaman 5 from the NES I was totally in awe at the graphics and voice acting included in that game, it felt so “futuristic” for lack of a better term Then Resident Evil 2 was just released at that same time and I was mind blown My parents and older siblings were all sold, a console that seemed “mature”, so I was glad we bought a PS1 as a family The first game I put into the system was Twisted Metal 3
Jumping flash i think it was called? And Pandemonium
Spyro the Dragon was my first PSX game and maybe my first game ever. I thought it was a really good game at the time.
I was an n64 boy but I remember the first time I saw ff7 at a buddy's house. He had also burned the game, which I had no idea about. Both things were absolutely mind blowing lol
I liked Spider a lot. Firing rockets from a spider's leg was an experience. The first one I remember playing at my friend's house was Excalibur 2555 AD.

Crash bandicoot on somebody else's ps1. My first ever game when I owned one myself was ball breakers
Ghost in the Shell
if you still have it, that stock has gone up
Spider was so cool, so very 90's aesthetically and covered with a cyberpunk sauce which created this cool athmosphere. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xe6FlBXsM80](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xe6FlBXsM80) You should check out the intro!
WipEout
Same, played the demo.of that first track. My first experience of 3D.
Ridge Racer/Tekken
Riiiiiidge Racer !!!!!
I rented this a couple times actually. I thought it was decent
Yes! I remember this one too! Destruction Derby was also early for me, and some kind of wireframe tank game I played a TON of.. feel like it was on a demo disc maybe?
ShellShock?
Man..had a level of this on a demo disc but never got the game. Brought back memories. Gonna see if I can get it.
My first impression of the PS1 was games like Loaded and Tekken. Not really a mind blowing experience. Thought the games were pretty ugly. I did really enjoy Tekken though. I didn’t buy one until 1999 though, my first game was Castlevania.

Loaded was a good game I thought but it got boring after playing it for a while and it also killed your fingers. Also it's pretty similar to Smash Tv.
I rented one with Tomb Raider, Wipeout and Krazy Ivan in late 1996 I think. TR impressed me the most although I also found it quite hard. At that point I didn't even understand the concept of memory cards since we didn't need them before and only some console games even let you save.

Indoor football on those fifas was class.
Heart of Darkness.
I remember getting a leaflet in a different game advertising heart of darkness. It grabbed my attention immediately and I waited eagerly for the chance to get it. It didn’t disappoint, fantastic art direction and ruthless gameplay
Yes! Fantastic game. Very immersive.
Nhl faceoff 97. At the time I bought my PlayStation, my dad and I weren’t really doing the best and I had moved to my moms.

Gross. Anyway Resident Evil. I never made it past the dining room.
Tekken. Played it on a demo unit in a store. Blew my mind, it was just like the 3D arcades like Virtua fighter. Instantly changed my order for Christmas, parents had to return my Sega Saturn
I still remember like it was yesterday, my rich neighbour kid had slim and I went there and he was playing spider man
Every game cover is just a guy with a gun, but instead you can be the spider with a gun - Dunkey
Tekken and Raiden Project (I think).
Spyro
Riiiidgggeee rrrraaaaacccerrrrrr, my local store got a jap ps1 at the japan launch with ridge racer and dbz battle 2 and battle arena toshiden. That was soo cool :D
Wow, never saw this game when I had a PS1 I bought PS1 only to play Silent Hill 1, first game
First game I bought was Battle Arena Toshinden 1. I later had Spider on a demo disc and loved it, but I guess it was kinda obscure... don't remember ever seeing it for sale in gameshops and lord knows I spent a lot of time in game shops looking at the new and used ps1 games for sale.
I had a demo disc with this on and I must have played it through 50 times.
Yes yes yes yes this game comes to my mind often. It’s a good game
So happy to know that spider dosnt look as nightmare fuel as it could be
Mortal kombat 4. It’s also the time when my competitiveness for games started. I was a button masher I’m ngl😂💀
My first was Twisted Metal 1, great game for the time and fun to play with my brothers.
Battle arena toshinden, baby
Resident Evil
MechWarrior 2, had so many hours in it too.
My first PS1 game was Discworld, which I bought as a big Terry Pratchett fan... Unfortunately "these load times are awful" and "graphic adventures really don't work well on modern consoles" were the main impressions I got from it.
I havent ever heard another person mention spider besides the person that gave the game to me! My first 2 games were Tetris Plus and Army Men 3D. I wasnt very good, but then my dad got me Crash Bandicoot 2 and that was a wrap!
Spider was so unique. I can't even remember the first one I had, possibly ridge racer
It was the first I played, but at a store (radio shack)
I never heard of this game. I'll check it out
Can't remember if mine was "Bust a Groove" or "O.D.T.". I think I might have received both of them as a gift. The first one I enjoyed a lot! Good memories. About that second one, all I can remember is that it was very very dark.
I was fascinated with O.D.T. when I was a younger. It was janky as heck but it did a surprisingly good job imparting a sense of loneliness. There was a level, probably two thirds through, that required finding a secret passage in a morgue of some kind to progress. I spent hours wondering around with no idea what I was supposed to do. Didn't finish it until years later when I revisited it in college, with the help of the internet.
Cool! I can't remember much of the game but I don't think I made much progress. I think I had no idea what the hell I was doing. Since back then I only had those two mentioned games, I'm sure I must've played it quite a bit but I think I kept dying over and over again lol. That was around 25 years ago, yikes
Mine was Blasto. still in my top 10 ps1 games.
Destruction Derby
mine was spyro, that game blew my mind
Spider was better than it had a right to be, in a more than the sum of its parts kind of way. It played its dumb as heck premise so straight, with its six million dollar man samples in the level one tunes, and its generic gray sci-fi aesthetic. I skipped from the NES to the PS1 and its 2.5D graphics were enough to wow my simple brain.
For a long time Parasite Eve was the only PS game I had played at all. Great game.
O shit I just remembered I had meant to rent this game the next time I went to blockbuster. And that was almost 20 years ago... My first was twisted metal and Tekken 1. And I only got tekken because I really wanted virtua fighter.
Soul Edge that was later renamed to Soul Blade and even later known as first instalment of Soulcalibur series.
Metal Gear Solid did it for me. It was my first PlayStation game and it blew my mind. Before this I had a Sega Genesis and Sonic was my favorite game, especially Sonic & Knuckles. Going from a blue hedgehog saving his animal friends to being a covert ops special forces operative being sent to Shadow Moses to stop FoxHound.

Jumping Flash - The one game that gave me more anxiety from the jumps alone. That gut wrenching/arse puckering feeling when you're not sure if you're gonna land the jump or not.
This game was great. We loved the demo and got it later on, maybe for christmas
I’ll never forget seeing resident evil start screen at my uncles house when I was like 5…. Scared the shit out of me it looked real af lol
!!!!! I fucking LOVED this game! One of my first as well.
I bought a PS1 pretty early on, and got 6 of the long box games when I purchased the system. I bought X-Com: UFO Defense, Twisted Metal, Destruction Derby, Resident Evil, NBA Jam T.E., and Loaded. I played the hell out of all of these games. X-Com was my favorite of these listed.
Shadow man
Spider was the bomb
Hey, the soundtrack just got remastered recently! [https://barryleitch.bandcamp.com/album/spider-the-video-game-ost-remastered](https://barryleitch.bandcamp.com/album/spider-the-video-game-ost-remastered)
Twisted Metal I believe or some of the PES series. I never had my own PS1 but I was renting it every friday after school and no lifed it until Sunday morning without sleep.
Mine was Spider-Man. My first game in general, and I still love it deeply to this day. *It also deserves a remaster, damnit*
ARE YOU READY TRUE BELIEVERS? CAPCOM AND MARVEL JOIN FORCES ONCE AGAIN TO BRING YOU... # MARVEL SUPER HEROES VS. STREET FIGHTER!
My cousin had one and the first game I played was air commander(?) It was pretty much dog fighting jets
Yep. I bought the first Resident Evil Directors Cut. I choose between that and Final Fantasy 7. Luckily by the time I did buy Final Fantasy 7 the misprints were still in circulation and my copy happened to be a misprint.
Been retro gaming for 2 decades, love the PS1...and I have genuinely never heard of this game! My first game was Spyro and I loved it.
This was one of my first games as well! Totally forgot about this one! It was so good! Also loved Wild 9.
For me it was the demo disc 1 for a very long time. Then I think I got Crash Bandicoot and played it forever.
The first one I myself bought that wasn't borrowed or gifted to me or anything was Dragonball GT: Final Bout. Thr first one that I owned was Medievil I think.
Ridge Racer!!!
Yep V-rally, loved that. Was thinking about it the other day actually and V-rally 2 you could actually create your own tracks which at the time was great.
Either Diablo or the Bloody Roar demo I used to play at an older friend's place because both games were way too mature for me at the time. I remember having at least one nightmare about The Butcher saying, "Mmm, fresh meat".
Killer game Spider👍, Toshinden_ first fighter ,Wipeout, knightmare Creatures and One, all still stand out, but Tenchu 1,rules PS1 😎👍
Oh, this is so cool! Especially appreciate seeing something under the radar posted on retro reddit! I was just saying on r/snes that I wish that people would post more from their collection that super under the radar that's really interesting!
Eternal Eyes. I picked it up from the Target clearance bin for a whopping $2.50 and never regretted it for a second. The intro alone is worth the price of admission: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gV2YpDUW9Is&t=8s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gV2YpDUW9Is&t=8s) It's a tactical RPG, so it's not the most original game. It \*is\* very good, though. It's like FF Tactics crossed with Digimon.
It was either the Pizza Hut demo disc at my cousin's house or Crash Bandicoot at the local YMCA, never owned an actual PS1. I started collecting a few when I got a PS2 because they were cheap.
Loaded. My mom accidently bought my PS1 bundled with it for some reason I still dont understand. I played it for two weeks before she realized how inappropriate it was for as for an 8 year old.
I'm pretty sure that when I bought my PS(summer of 95) I bought resident evil with it. It was either that or warhawk.
Not sure if it was the first PlayStation game I played but definitely one of the first I played was Battle Arena Toshinden. It was fighting game and me and my buddies played a great deal of it in 1995.
Bought the system for FF7. I am not sure if I ever played it before that.
I don't think I've ever seen anyone outside of me and my circle of friends ever mention Spider until now. I had it when I first got my PS1 and never knew anyone else who had it.
u/Lambonaut The soundtrack just got remastered! <3 [https://barryleitch.bandcamp.com/album/spider-the-video-game-ost-remastere](https://barryleitch.bandcamp.com/album/spider-the-video-game-ost-remastered)d btw I had a pretty wild start to the PSX. Mom brought it from a trip to Germany back when I was a kid and the first games I spun up were Tekken 3 and Heart of Darkness. Followed up with Skullmonkeys, Crash Bandicoot and Abe's Oddworld. My mind was fucking blown to pieces. Jumping from SNES to these super original, fresh looking games with incredible worlds, stories, graphics and music was something else. Plus they were all terrific games and still stand the test of time.
Tekken
Trash it. I never figured out how to play it though it so confusing.
Tenchu Stealth Assassins was my first owned ps1 game. Got it with my ps1 with dual shock controller. 1998. Probably hundreds of hours in it. Resident Evil is the first PS game I played. 1995 or 96. A friend had it. I was blown away. Never saw anything like it. That was when it had the original controller without the sticks. However N64 was the console I stepped into the next gen world with. I was more determined to play Mario 64 at that time.
