I should try that! Except neither my sister, and I are interested in anything, but the Sony consoles ;; It's just the odd one or two games on the Nintendo systems that we like playing, but that hasn't interested us enough to jump on the bandwagon.

Starry Windy May 5th, 2014 8:33 AM

That reminds me, I used to play with Sony consoles, PSone to be exact, it was fun good old times {XD}. Even though I'm often playing with Nintendo handhelds like 3DS now, I missed playing using PSone, this console have some good games that I enjoy!

Raine May 5th, 2014 12:15 PM

Some of the nostalgic PS games that I watched my sister play were Legend of Legaia, Legend of Dragoon, Chrono Cross, Parasite Eve series, and Final Fantasy. Those were great RPGs back then, and I'm looking into buying a few of the ones that we don't already own back through eBay (: I never got the chance to play them myself since my sister regrettably sold them before I was old enough >>;;

Hiatus May 5th, 2014 1:54 PM

I've always wanted to get myself a PSOne system (doesn't really matter if they're old or not), but it's impossible to find any within a good price range and condition. ): Have played some of its games on my computer before via emulator, but it just doesn't give you the same, exact experience.

Sonata May 5th, 2014 4:23 PM

My grandma still has her Psone aand since she never plays it it still looks like it's brand new out of the box. She only has 9 games though; Frogger, Crash Bandicoot, Crash Bandicoot Warped, Crash Bandicoot 2, Rayman, Spyro, 101 Dalmatians, Scrabble, Life, and one other game that I can't remember.

You could make it work, but you'd have to get a USB PS1 controller (~$20) and an HDMI cord to hook up a laptop to an HDTV. Then you can plug in the controller, put the laptop on the TV, and have an experience JUST like you were playing a PS1.

eh? where have you been looking? must be a different story in the states, but over here there are PS1 everywhere and they are not worth anything.

I know it feels cool playing one, hearing the startup sound is the best; but whenever I break mine out it quickly loses the novelty and I decide to just play it on the emulator instead using the setup Oryx mentioned. Better graphic display, less likely to freeze, less likely to get a corrupted save or something like that.

Depending on emulator and laptop's processing ability...
Emulator could start getting low framerate due to weak processing and it wouldn't be like on PS1 =D

There are USB PS1 controllers? I've seen PS2, but I thought that PS1 were at least slightly different? I know there are USB converters for PS1/N64/Dreamcast controllers and the like.. I dunno, I haven't actually held one since I was about 8 or 9.

Yeah I meant a PS2 controller which isn't changed enough from a PSX controller for me to see any appreciable reason not to use it. A converter is even cheaper.

Noire May 8th, 2014 6:45 AM

I have quite a few PSOne titles on my PS3. I love playing them when I want to kick back with that nostalgia factor. The collection they have on PSN is pretty good. I snag a few games at a time. Right now I'm playing Silent Hill, Crash Bandicoot, and Gex

Sonata May 8th, 2014 6:46 PM

I have a rather massive PSone library as it was one of my first consoles. I got it and a SNES at roughly the same time and started buying games like crazy. I wish I would have kept all their cases because games in their cases are much more impressive than books filled with games. I have all of the Spyro and Crash games for PSone, as well as a lot of obscure titles that would fetch a pretty penny...if I had the cases. I love the obscure games much more than the mainstream ones though and end up playing them the most when I go to look for a feeling of nostalgia.

Judge Mandolore Shepard May 9th, 2014 6:01 AM

When it comes to libraries of different video game systems, my largest one is the Xbox 360 games one. I have over fifty games in it. Where as my smallest one is my GB/GBC one. I only have four games in it. All of my other ones are somewhere between those two.

machomuu May 9th, 2014 8:22 AM

Physically, my libraries are pretty small. My largest is, oddly enough, my PC one.

...Well, retrospectively it makes sense. After all, you can't sell PC games back to Gamestop (which, back in the day, was how I got the money to buy more games), and I've been a big Sims fan since early 2000s. As a result, while I've owned many, many games (and, if we were talking total collection, sold or otherwise, my PS2 would easily be king), thanks to my lack of income as a child, I would often sell my games back to Gamestop for their terrible return rates and get more games. But a number of years ago I stopped selling my games because I actually like collecting, and I hate selling a game only to regret it and probably buy it back later...If I can, but then there are games like the .Hack series. I was shocked when a friend told me that they were not only rare now, but they sold for upwards of $100. And I'd already sold mine.

So yeah, PC's my largest library physically, followed by the PS2 and the regrettably the Xbox 360, as much as it pains me to say. 3DS and then N64 after that. Digitally, PC would still be king, 3DS would be second, and PS3/Vita would be third. Since I buy so many games digitally nowadays, it really doesn't surprise me that PS2 and PC are my largest phys libraries, especially because there are times when I really just don't want to buy from Amazon, Gamstop in general I just can't stand anymore, and I'm not much a fan of buying games from other, non-gaming retail stores unless I find a really good price or rare gems.

Ugh...all of this reminiscing is making me remember my lost GBA library ;_;

Raine May 9th, 2014 8:32 AM

I always thought I had a generous sized library of games, but that doesn't seem the case now that I look at them on my shelf \: Although there have been many games that we traded in over the past few years, but now I'm determined to keep them no matter how old they might become in the future. Not making the same mistake again of selling/trading in the N64, and the PSone consoles along with their games ;;

TRIFORCE89 May 9th, 2014 3:52 PM

I have my console library in one room (360, Wii, Wii U, N64, GCN) and my handheld library in another room (GBA, DS, 3DS). Anything older is hanging out in my basement as I have no other space :(

antemortem May 11th, 2014 9:11 AM

I have a very moderate collection of games all in a little entertainment system in my room where my television used to sit. I also have two small drawers of DS/3DS games.

Raine May 11th, 2014 9:16 AM

I think I'll slowly start to add digital games to my arsenal from now on. Me having a credit card is dangerous for my bank account ;;

Oh! I always wanted one of those! When I was a kid and the big Sears catalog was a thing around Christmastime for kids, there were always a few of those in it and I thought it was so cool and organized

that kid-sized centre really wouldn't have lasted me long. Nope. Haha

Hiatus May 11th, 2014 2:04 PM

I don't really like purchasing digital games, haha. They might be cheaper than physical on occasion, but still; you just can't trade them in (or anything of the like), which sucks. :( Though, I don't mind downloading if I manage to get a hold of free codes.

Personally, I'm fine with that. Since I, for the most part, gave up selling games, downloads are convenient and make for a nice collection. What's more, in some particular cases where I buy games that I'm dubious about, not being able to return them gives me the motivation to play them, which has led to some good experiences.

...Though really, I'm not too sure why we keep coming back to physical vs digital...so...new question.

Are there any games you're looking forward to in 2014?

Or, alternatively...

Are there any games (or devices) that you're looking forward to being announced/showcased at E3?

Yukari May 12th, 2014 6:08 PM

One game I'm looking forward to is Shroud of the Avatar: Forsaken Virtues. It's a spiritual sequel to one of my favorite series so yeah...

Judge Mandolore Shepard May 12th, 2014 7:00 PM

For games coming out later this year, these are ones I am looking forward to:
Thearhythm Final Fantasy Curtain Call
Borderlands The Presequel!
Transformers Rise of the Dark Spark
Pokemon Alpha Sapphire
Destiny
Super Smash Bros for 3DS

I agree with that. Destiny is a very much anticipated game; I honestly can't believe that Activision spent $500 million to develop and promote the game. They're really trying to knock this game right out of the park, as they think it will be the "next billion dollar franchise." Which honestly, it has a good chance to succeed due to the lack of next generation games at the moment. If it doesn't do well though, it might have a huge negative impact on the company as a whole. But like I said, it will probably sell just like a normal Call of Duty game - successful right from the get-go.

TY May 12th, 2014 8:32 PM

Besides Borderlands the Presequel I do not really look forward to anything :p

unless SC2 Legacy of the Void comes out this year
