17 photos anyone who grew up playing Playstation 1 will recognise
IT’S 20 YEARS since the original Playstation was released in Ireland – and it changed childhoods forever.
Anyone that lived on it back then might feel very old now, but prepare yourself for some real nostalgia:
1. The moment you got this was a game changer (literally)
Ah, the multi tap. You just needed to get extra controllers to make it useful.
2. Cruising around the mansion in Tomb Raider II – always jumping in the swimming pool with the old butler watching on
3. The only way to store your games was this case
4. When Grand Theft Auto felt like the biggest game ever
5. The intro screen was always a delight
6. Followed by this
7. When one of your friends got this tiny version everyone was jealous
8. The gun that you used in Point Blank was delish
Playing it without the gun was certainly not fun.
9. Blowing on the memory card because it wasn’t reading properly
Technical stuff.
10. Being hooked on the reviews in magazines like this
How many stars did it get?
11. When Crash Bandicoot started out as your hero
12. And then you saw him in a whole different light when he got behind the wheel
Ah, Crash Team Racing.
13. This game was like an even more addictive version of Tetris
Even your mam was partial to a game of Bust-A-Move.
14. The names on ISS Pro were comically wrong
But what a game.
15. You played demo discs so much because you couldn’t afford every new game
So frustrating, but that didn’t stop you.
16. You were an absolute expert on skateboarding despite never seeing a board in real life
And the TUNES in Tony Hawk were bangers too.
17. And finally… the replays on Gran Turismo were the closest thing you got to high definition
Those were the days.
