My Entry: My first memory was when I was in the Navy and we visited Hong Kong. After 5pm all these stores would open up in the electronics district and sell pirated PlayStation games. I know that's bad but that was the only way we could get games overseas. I purchased numerous games and we played those over and over to help pass our time on deployment. I still have them today.
My first memory of the PlayStation 1 was at a friends house. I remember playing the crap out of cool boarders, Star Wars masters of teras kasi and some WWF game for weekends at a time. What a trip down memory lane!
I didn’t own a PS1 till way late in the generation. Pretty sure the PS2 was out by then. But my best friend growing up had one. I rarely went over to his house, even though he lived across the street. He spent all his time at my house. One of my earliest memories though was being traumatized by the game Parasite Eve II. The cafeteria cutscene freaked me out. He was one of those kids who was allowed anything. R-rated movies, M-rated games, while I was pretty sheltered as a kid. So anything edgy and violent had to be smuggled in my house, into my basement gaming crawl space, or watched at his house.
As someone from a state where things have been closed for a month, thank you for the video. It’s nice to see people in stores even if it’s from a while ago. In terms of the question, I too was a Nintendo kid, but my biggest, and probably only, Playstation memory has to be weeping when Aeris died! I still remember that feeling!
My first memory of the PS1 was at my best friends house. She had the Rugrats Totally Angelica game and I LOVED it. You could create fashion shows and dress her up. It was so much fun to play! I never had a Play Station so going over and playing it was such a treat!
My first memory of the ps1 was Spyro as well. I remember going to grocery stores and asking my mom to put me in the kids corner while she shopped and I could play Spyro. I loved it. It was Giant Eagle. Great times!
My first memory is playing Metal Gear Solid at a friend. Years later I borrowed his system to play it some more but never actually finished it. I still want to do that one day but MGS1 isn’t really rereleased on other systems (only a mediocre remake on GameCube)
So when the PS1 came out, I was still such a "retro" player that I was just playing NES, SNES, Genesis that I didn't even pay attention or kind even know there was a PS1 when it came out. Then one day while in Electronics Boutique I saw this Strategy Guide for Metal Gear Solid. Now the game wasn't out yet but they were selling guides for some reason early. I flipped through it and was totally amazed. I bought a PS1 right then and there and must have played the MGS demo that was on the disk that came with the system everyday until it finally released. Now that copy of MGS I bought is sitting on my shelf and this year I got it sign by none other than the voice of Solid Snake himself David Hayter... Bucket list item achieved.
First memory with the PS1 is playing Metal Gear Solid, had to borrow the console from a friend and didn't have a memory card so had to play it all in one sitting. Still had a great time.
Awesome finds! Wish my goodwills were that big! The ones near me are kind of small and sadly the discs are always missing from the cases. I loved the PS1 loved playing Crash and Spyro!
Man there was a mystery Will U game at the bottom of that cart where you found the PSP games! We will never know what it was! Ahhhh! Lol. Playstation memory, gotta be staying up all night drinking Jolt at my buddies house playing Cool Boarders 2. Love that game. Rocko's Modern Life was my only orange VHS but always thought it was so cool. Great video as always!
First memory, I dunno if my buddy and I rented a console or one of us got one but we definitely rented games from Rogers Video. The first game I have clear memories of was Resident Evil. Cue us up until 4am, scared as heck trying to fathom the graphics, the story, the controller, the gameplay... it was leagues ahead of SNES!
My first memories of the PlayStation was playing metal gear solid. I thought it was the most amazing thing I ever played! Also loved playing destruction derby.
I wasn't alive during ps1 era, but i have a ps classic, i remember getting it on sale for 60$ at best buy the day after my b-day, on the month it released, but later got marked down to 20$. I played it alot when my family came.
One of my first memories I have with the PlayStation one is on my sister's wedding . hours before she got married my little brother and I where playing tekken with our new brother inlaw. Just thought it was funny that he was supposed to get ready to get married but we where playing tekken.
One of my first Ps1 memories is playing wwf smackdown on my dads system. He had resident evil 2 and I would always look at the cover but was never brave enough to try it for myself. I was way too scared!
My memory was i went into a toys r us near me and played a demo of ridge racer and fell in love with the console this was oct of 95. I then got it the following xmas.
Not only did you miss that Action Replay, but you missed Guitar Hero Smash Hits for Wii on that shelf too. Sucks that Warriors of Rock was in bad shape.
My first memory of the PS1 was playing Tekken I believe at the local KB Toys kiosk. I didn't get one until the revision came out but I remember we rented one for a weekend with Ridge Racer and Rayman. If we got a 3rd game, I don't remember what it was.
I didn't get into the PS1 until about three years ago, but I bought a console with crash 3 for like $20 and loved it! And I played that Spyro demo a ton too!
I'm in my early 20s so my first home console was a ps1 and I played Spyro 2 riptos rage and Spyro 3 year of the dragon to no end! I have a lot of nostalgia for that Spyro ps1 trilogy. The soundtracks for those games were composed by the drummer on the police! Great soundtrack!
Damn I just noticed Rick's wearing a Playstation shirt too, just to shut us up about us trying to smoke him out as a Playstation hater 😂😂 😎Thanks Rick, for uploading in this time of need 🕹🎮

My first memory is my mom and I at the videogame store the day she bought it for me. It was the PSone version and it came with Crash Bandicoot and Tarzan. I played the * out of those games for a long time. Good times! Haha
My first memory of the PS1 was a sports game. Triple Play 2001. This game was pretty fun. I remember getting my PS1 home and setting up all the cables, and booting up the disc for the first time.
My PS1 Memories are Spyro, Crash Bandicoot, Twisted Metal 1 and 2, Tony Hawks Pro Skater trilogy, Cool Boarders just to name a few I had some of the PlayStation Underground Jampack Demos too that were in the cardboard sleeves
My favorite PlayStation memory is probably playing some Ape Escape or the Army Men games. I loved Toy Story and setting up toy soldiers so the concept really appealled to me. I got to Interview Tripp Hawkins for a podcast and I wish I had asked him about the series after writing this comment and taking a trip down memory lane lol.
My entry: My oldest memory of Ps1 was playing at a neighbors house, and we were just playing one of those demo discs, and I remember playing Einhander on the demo disc for HOURS. To this day, it remains one of my favorite shooters of all time!
It was Christmas morning and “Santa” got me a PlayStation with Crash Bandicoot, Madden, and NHL ( it was 90 something, possibly 97). I remember moving our couch closer to the tv and having a NHL tournament with my family and neighbors on Christmas. One of the best Christmas mornings ever.
My first memory of the PS1 was getting it as a gift from my cousin and playing Twisted Metal 2 and Crash Bandicoot with my younger brother for hours on end
I remember the Christmas that my cousin got a PS2 and decided to give my brother and I his PlayStation. I went out bought MegaMan Legends 2 and Dragon Warrior 7 with some of my Christmas money and played those two games the rest of the break. Legends 2 is still my favorite PlayStation game along with FF Tactics.
I get all my video games from the gas station.... the back of a truck..... people's houses.... sometimes they lock the doors and windows, but a real game hunter finds a way!
Best memory for PS1 was hands down SILENT HILL! Also around the 13:14 mark it looks like you buried a blue case under a book or VHS...could have been a Wii U game. 🤔
@@videogamepolak0 For sure i get it..i will say recording the visits makes it tougher, it steps up the layers of focus to 4. Im trying to film, commentate, not be weird in front of people and game hunt. Its harder than it looks 😂
My first memory was going over to friends house to spend the night and him having one. He had so many games, but the first one I played was Star Ocean Second Story. I fell in love with that game and it is my favorite game of all time. I never would have found out about it if I never met that friend.
When I was about 13 the PS2 was released and my neighbor was selling his old PlayStation so he could upgrade. My little brother bought it and a couple games. We spent hours playing Matt Hoffman’s Pro BMX. Didn’t last long though. He sold it about a year later to get a Game Cube on launch.
The goodwill in town charges 5.99 for games and every other one is 1.99 around where I live. I told them that and they said all goodwill stores charge 5.99. They would not believe me. So I had to pay 5.99 a peace for all of the games I bought. They ripped me off because I haven't seen a goodwill that does that besides them. Crazy
A good friend of mine got a Playstation with some games. I have fond memories of sitting there for hours playing.the demo disc when he was playing something on PC. When we played 2 player stuff it was all Tekken and Battle Arena Toshinden. Good times. =)
My first memory of the PS1 was being introduced to it by my best friend. I was a teenager at the time and under the influence of what was then an illegal substance but is now mostly legal medically and recreationally lol. We popped in Resident Evil and my mind was blown and the first time those dogs jumped threw the windows, I was hooked on a new console.
I've PlayStation 1 For the First Time in my 6th Birthday, it was a Gift From my parents, the First Game I've played was Driver, I Spend a Lot of Time Playing That Game, I love that Game ♥️
I bought a PS1 with a dead power supply for 3 bucks at a flee market , then I went back 2 weeks later and I bought another one for 3 bucks with a broken Laser . I replaced power supply on the first one using the second one I bought and now I have a perfectly working PS1 with 2 of the original PS1 dual analogue controllers for 6 bucks
My first memory of PS1 was waking up in the middle of the night to sneak into my parents room and they were up at like 3am playing some Tetris game where they were trying to get an archaeologist down to the bottom level. Crazy!
Hot Shots Golf, Spyro demo and NBA Live 98 those were my first memories of the ps1. I had a red controller. It was the fisrt 2 Tonky Hawk games that really got me into it. I was mostly a Nintendo fan back then.
There are so many good memories with the PS1! Before getting any games I had the demo disc that came with and played the hell out of Gex, Tekken 3, Bloody Roar, etc. Getting the PlayStation underground discs monthly was amazing too! And my first game Resident Evil was rented from the video store and blew me away!
My 1st memory of the PlayStation was going over to my friend's house and seeing/playing Resident Evil. At the time, I was very impressed, so much so that I went out and bought my own w/Resident Evil of course.
My first memory of PlayStation was in the Philippines at my friend Philip's house. He had a demo CD that had a bunch of games with 1 level haha- GTA, Jackie Chan, some random racing game. It was the best!
I love that we are both Filipino and probably long lost brothers like a boy parent trap situation. Do you have a ripped picture of you when you were a kid?
Ive honestly never played a PlayStation 1 but I remember playing Sly Cooper on the PS2 at my old TaeKwonDo summer camp until the PS3 came out. I want to get a PS2 now due to the cheap but extensive library and to relieve old memories.
When my parents bought me my first PlayStation with tekken and spyro. Staying up all night from Friday until Sunday morning then crashing hard and getting woke up for Sunday supper
Awesome vid again Rick! First memory of the PlayStation 1 was Wipeout, I could not believe the graphics. Also Tomb raider was awesome. And I'm a car but, so Granturismo is up there too. Sorry, I know you said one but you got my Retro mind racing 🤣🤣🤣 Regards, Peppi
I was a Nintendo fanboy as well, but we got a PlayStation when I was a teenager. Most of my memories on the PlayStation revolve around Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2. I LOVED that game.
My first memory of the original PlayStation was when it was given to me as a gift. I remember having Tekken, and a off-roading game as my first PlayStation games. I mostly played Driver 2, Gran Turismo, and Gran Turismo 2. A few years later I got a PlayStation 2. The original PlayStation was one of my favorite game systems growing up as a kid and I still have it along with all of my other childhood game systems. My PlayStation is still in great condition.
My first memory of the PSone was my dad and me at funcoland a couple years after the system had been released and saw it for pretty cheap. My dad just says, "Hey, you wanna get the Playstation??" And I'm like "YEAH!!!!" It was great. We had only ever had the SNES up to that point, so a new system in the house was very much welcomed. We also bought CTR and FF9 and had endless hours of fun!
My first memory of the PS1 was my little brother getting it as a birthday gift. We basically just played Tony Hawks pro skater 2 and GT2 exclusively. Good times.
My first memory of the playstation 1 was playing sypro, crash bandicoot, and duke nukem. I put so many hours into those games as a kid. I absolutely loved and still love the playstation 1. The first movie that comes to mind with the orange VHS is the original rugrats movie. Nice pickups! I can't wait to start hunting again when everything opens. The collection is expanding so quickly!
Earliest memories from Playstation I have are from playing Twisted Metal 2, Star Wars Dark Forces, and Crash Bandicoot 2. Can't remember what my first Playstation games were now, was always more into Nintendo consoles and still into the Genesis at that time too. These three games I remember playing early though and enjoying a lot. Dark forces led me to the PC version and then the sequels to that which took up A LOT of my time for many years. Good times. Also, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was so good too. Love that movie and the second one.
My memory is when my father got his and watched him play tomb raider and being amazed at what a disc console can do and wanting every game they made for it. You can say thats what got me collecting.
This might age me, but my freshman year of college was when the PS1 came out - my roommate went out and bought it on launch day, and we played tons of Destruction Derby, Tomb Raider, Tekken, Gran Turismo, and REsident Evil. I used to have dreams about Tomb Raider we used to play that game so much. Great system.
My first memory with PS1 was when my Mom's bf bought the console and brought it over with 1 game, which was Driver. It was very cool and fascinating at the time because all i knew/had was Nintendo consoles. The PS1 was a craze upon release and I could see why. Needless to say, we played Driver until we beat it and i've been a huge Playstation fan ever since. Also the first thing that comes to mind when i see the glorious orange VHS tapes is Ren & Stimpy. I used to rent the hell out of those back in the day. Pretty much been my fav. cartoon since.
@@retrorick That sucks man, but totally understandable lol. It was pretty edgy and over the top with some questionable adult content at times. My mom was awesome in that regard hah.
I had the original playstation in my 20's. I played NHL 98, one of the EA MLB, and Gran Turismo all the time! I played Crash Bandicoot too. I just picked up a PS2 back in october and have been collecting PS1 and PS2 games again. I never played the Sly Cooper games until recently when I first found Sly Cooper 3 with 3-D glasses! Now I have the first three games. Never played Spyro until about two months ago. I have all three PS1 games now. Great video!
Hello Rick. I took of care of a young man with disabilities and his guardians had bought him a PlayStation 1.he couldn’t walk so he would spend along time setting on the floor playing.i don’t remember what games he had but I enjoyed watching him play.😀
My first experience was I found a Spyro game at the pawnshop and I took it home so when my cousin comes over he brought his PlayStation one and we played. that was the only game I ever had on PlayStation one
My first memory on ps1 i remember my uncle justin asked my brother and i if we loved video games shy guy me got hyped he brought out his slim ps1 with games i fall in love with Tony hawk pro skater and twisted metal 1 since then my memory still lives with childhood... collecting never been easy
My first memory of the PlayStation One was watching my neighbor play one of the twisted metal games. As a Nintendo 64 fanboy I was used to the the colorful curved graphics of Diddy Kong Racing & Mario Kart. Where the PlayStation was much less “cartoony”. I’ve still never owned a PS1... When I see an orange Nickelodeon vhs tape, I always think of Harriet of the Spy. Which was the first Nickelodeon movie...and now I just feel old
1st memory of the ps1 was the legend of legaia game. Was playing it up to the point where I revived the first genesis tree, and I thought that I've just finished the game at that point. Lol.
First memory of PlayStation was hooking up it up for the first time with Spyro. Hearing and seeing that Sony Intro screen with the orange diamond has forever been burned into my mind.
First ps1 memory was 10 years ago at a vacation home my family stayed at for my dad’s birthday. They had a ps1 with Spyro and I played through so much of it. I even lied about being sick so I could stay inside and play it more.
A huge mentor in my life has the original PlayStation when I was about 11 years old. We never had one so this was my first interaction with it. He bought a wrestling game just for me and my brothers to play we when we were hanging out.
My first playstation memory is when a local card shop in my small home town actually tried to start selling video games. I wanted to support their effort so I bought their playstation and a copy of Final Fantasy VII. I had always meant to play Final Fantasy VII, especially since the completionist recently went through his series of FFVII games at the time. Getting that system and playing that game felt like I was betraying my roots, but I actually had a ton of fun with FFVII! No other Final Fantasy feels quite right now after playing that.
My first memory of the original PlayStation is when my friend got one on Christmas. He brought it to my house and we played jet moto for hours that day!
I grew up when the PS2 / PS3 were out so my first experience with PlayStation games was playing Spyro riptos rage through backwards compatibility bon my PS2. Played through the game about four times and recently picked it up again during quarantine
I never had much exposure to the PlayStation 1, but my earliest memory of the PS1 was probably when I got my brother Hardball 99 on the PS1. He isn’t much of a gamer anymore, but he is currently a professional baseball player and when I was trying to think of gift ideas for his birthday I thought it would be interesting to see if any games released on his birthday and Hardball 99 just so happened to be the exact date my brother was born. So I called a few retro shops in my area and scooped it up at one and played it with him at home for a few hours after we were done trick or treating.
Driver you are the wheelman. I loved the open world driving around. The cars had working turn signals, the idling of the engine. It was great. Also trying to survive against the police! The driving course was hard as heck. That was my first memory of PlayStation. My friend owned a PlayStation. I had a Nintendo 64. So it was real treat to visit and play the crap outta that game.
I remember my mom talking me into buying ff7 and ff tactics for $20 ea instead of buying final fantasy 8 for 40. Best decision ever was final fantasy tactics is my favorite game of all time.
I hadn't got in to the N64. Since the SNES i had fallen out of video games slightly. When I was finishing work one day and was waiting to clock out, my brother rang me and said "get home quick you've won a PlayStation". He'd missed a a parcel delivery and a package had been thrown over the back gate in the rain. The brown paper wrap had come away revealing the contents. He was excited, I raced home. Sure enough it was a Play Station and that was me back in to video games all the way to this today. For the first week we just played the demo disk as it came with no games. It also never came with a cover letter or anything so it was just my name and address and a console.
While visiting my mom in Illinois around '93 I remember seeing posters on a wall of a shop showing the PlayStation system in a mall there... I had no idea what it was but for some reason that memory stuck in my head all this time later
I woulda still picked up those ps1 games without manuals. People love dragon ball and inyusha
I honestly probably should have...dang it!
And Twisted Metal!
Are you crazy? Picking up games out of random for $3

My first memory is my mom and I at the videogame store the day she bought it for me. It was the PSone version and it came with Crash Bandicoot and Tarzan. I played the * out of those games for a long time. Good times! Haha
haha that is awesome, The Tarzan game is pretty good!
My first memory of the PS1 was a sports game. Triple Play 2001. This game was pretty fun. I remember getting my PS1 home and setting up all the cables, and booting up the disc for the first time.
My PS1 Memories are Spyro, Crash Bandicoot, Twisted Metal 1 and 2, Tony Hawks Pro Skater trilogy, Cool Boarders just to name a few I had some of the PlayStation Underground Jampack Demos too that were in the cardboard sleeves
Dude PlayStation Underground Jampacks were the best...great memories for sure
My favorite PlayStation memory is probably playing some Ape Escape or the Army Men games. I loved Toy Story and setting up toy soldiers so the concept really appealled to me.
I got to Interview Tripp Hawkins for a podcast and I wish I had asked him about the series after writing this comment and taking a trip down memory lane lol.
The Army men games dont get enough love!
Oh man you totally should have in the podcast!
My entry: My oldest memory of Ps1 was playing at a neighbors house, and we were just playing one of those demo discs, and I remember playing Einhander on the demo disc for HOURS. To this day, it remains one of my favorite shooters of all time!
Nice, demo discs were the best!
It was Christmas morning and “Santa” got me a PlayStation with Crash Bandicoot, Madden, and NHL ( it was 90 something, possibly 97). I remember moving our couch closer to the tv and having a NHL tournament with my family and neighbors on Christmas. One of the best Christmas mornings ever.
My first memory of the PS1 was getting it as a gift from my cousin and playing Twisted Metal 2 and Crash Bandicoot with my younger brother for hours on end
Great games man!
I remember the Christmas that my cousin got a PS2 and decided to give my brother and I his PlayStation. I went out bought MegaMan Legends 2 and Dragon Warrior 7 with some of my Christmas money and played those two games the rest of the break. Legends 2 is still my favorite PlayStation game along with FF Tactics.
Great picks and memories! I love me some FF Tactics!
First memory was playing metal gear solid and resident evil 2 Christmas of 98' when I finally got a ps1.
Dude, Metal Gear Solid is amazing!
I get all my video games from the gas station.... the back of a truck..... people's houses.... sometimes they lock the doors and windows, but a real game hunter finds a way!
Dude, one of the weirdest things to happen to me 😂
Best memory for PS1 was hands down SILENT HILL!
Also around the 13:14 mark it looks like you buried a blue case under a book or VHS...could have been a Wii U game. 🤔
Knew you were going to say that! Dude probably was, i suck at this!
@@videogamepolak0 For sure man, I should quit
@@videogamepolak0 For sure i get it..i will say recording the visits makes it tougher, it steps up the layers of focus to 4. Im trying to film, commentate, not be weird in front of people and game hunt. Its harder than it looks 😂
My first memory was going over to friends house to spend the night and him having one. He had so many games, but the first one I played was Star Ocean Second Story. I fell in love with that game and it is my favorite game of all time. I never would have found out about it if I never met that friend.
Thats awesome man, Ive never played an of the Star Ocean games but i've heard great things!
When I was about 13 the PS2 was released and my neighbor was selling his old PlayStation so he could upgrade. My little brother bought it and a couple games. We spent hours playing Matt Hoffman’s Pro BMX. Didn’t last long though. He sold it about a year later to get a Game Cube on launch.
Ha the Ps1 definitely did not age well....pretty rough to play nowdays
The goodwill in town charges 5.99 for games and every other one is 1.99 around where I live. I told them that and they said all goodwill stores charge 5.99. They would not believe me. So I had to pay 5.99 a peace for all of the games I bought. They ripped me off because I haven't seen a goodwill that does that besides them. Crazy
awww man that stinks...I hate when goodwills charge more than 1.99 for games...they are donated, come on people!
A good friend of mine got a Playstation with some games. I have fond memories of sitting there for hours playing.the demo disc when he was playing something on PC. When we played 2 player stuff it was all Tekken and Battle Arena Toshinden. Good times. =)
Heck ya man, i miss demo dics! Thanks for watching Joey
My first memory of the PS1 was being introduced to it by my best friend. I was a teenager at the time and under the influence of what was then an illegal substance but is now mostly legal medically and recreationally lol. We popped in Resident Evil and my mind was blown and the first time those dogs jumped threw the windows, I was hooked on a new console.
Haha awesome man, i had nightmares because of Resident Evil and Silent Hill when I was a kid!
I've PlayStation 1 For the First Time in my 6th Birthday, it was a Gift From my parents, the First Game I've played was Driver, I Spend a Lot of Time Playing That Game, I love that Game ♥️
Nice! Driver is solid...i also loved Gran Turismo!
I bought a PS1 with a dead power supply for 3 bucks at a flee market , then I went back 2 weeks later and I bought another one for 3 bucks with a broken Laser . I replaced power supply on the first one using the second one I bought and now I have a perfectly working PS1 with 2 of the original PS1 dual analogue controllers for 6 bucks
My favorite memory of the PS1 was playing the first crash bandicoot game for the first time
I love that game so much, did you play the remaster they came out with last year?
My memory of PlayStation was playing Twisted Metal, I love that game! Retro Rick your videos are what I look forward to on Monday’s!
I love the Twisted Metal series! Thank you for the kind words man
Twisted metal 4 was 🔥
@@ToxicVenom131 Dude so good, I should have picked it up even though it was loose disc
My first memory of PS1 was waking up in the middle of the night to sneak into my parents room and they were up at like 3am playing some Tetris game where they were trying to get an archaeologist down to the bottom level. Crazy!
hahaha i love it, you sneaky booger
Hot Shots Golf, Spyro demo and NBA Live 98 those were my first memories of the ps1. I had a red controller. It was the fisrt 2 Tonky Hawk games that really got me into it. I was mostly a Nintendo fan back then.
Nothing really brings me back to the ps1 than Tony Hawk...playing in graffiti mode was the best!
My first memory of ps1 is borrowing a friends ps1 and playing the heck out of Final Fantasy Tactics. To this day, it’s one of my favorite ps1 games.
Such a great game that holds up even to this day!
My first memory was playing MK3 at my friends house! I was blown away by the visuals and sound.
Oh yeah man, it was a game changer!
My first memory is playing crash bandicoot at my grandmas house! I looked forward to it every time I went over there!
That game is still so good! Did you play the remaster than came out last year?
@@retrorick i did! talk about a blast from my past! also, i love your content man, keep up the good work!
There are so many good memories with the PS1! Before getting any games I had the demo disc that came with and played the hell out of Gex, Tekken 3, Bloody Roar, etc. Getting the PlayStation underground discs monthly was amazing too! And my first game Resident Evil was rented from the video store and blew me away!
Resident Evil gave me nightmares as a kid! Gex is underrated for sure
My first memory of the PS1 was playing Crash Bandicoot 2 in my sister’s college dorm on her roommates PS1 Slim. It became my favorite PS1 game.
nice man! The remastered versions of those games are great that they released last year if you havent played them!
My first memory of the PS1 was Tomb Raider. I spent hours and hours moving that blocky character through the jungle and loving every minute of it.
She was my first video game crush 😂
My 1st memory of the PlayStation was going over to my friend's house and seeing/playing Resident Evil. At the time, I was very impressed, so much so that I went out and bought my own w/Resident Evil of course.
Dude that game gave me nightmares as a kid!
My first memory of PlayStation was in the Philippines at my friend Philip's house. He had a demo CD that had a bunch of games with 1 level haha- GTA, Jackie Chan, some random racing game. It was the best!
I love that we are both Filipino and probably long lost brothers like a boy parent trap situation. Do you have a ripped picture of you when you were a kid?
Ive honestly never played a PlayStation 1 but I remember playing Sly Cooper on the PS2 at my old TaeKwonDo summer camp until the PS3 came out. I want to get a PS2 now due to the cheap but extensive library and to relieve old memories.
When my parents bought me my first PlayStation with tekken and spyro. Staying up all night from Friday until Sunday morning then crashing hard and getting woke up for Sunday supper
haha i love it, great memories David
Awesome vid again Rick! First memory of the PlayStation 1 was Wipeout, I could not believe the graphics. Also Tomb raider was awesome. And I'm a car but, so Granturismo is up there too.
Sorry, I know you said one but you got my Retro mind racing 🤣🤣🤣
Regards,
Peppi
Haha amazing, i lovedddd Gran Turismo! Wipeout was great also!
I was a Nintendo fanboy as well, but we got a PlayStation when I was a teenager. Most of my memories on the PlayStation revolve around Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2. I LOVED that game.
I vote we have a Tony Hawk hangout night asap!
My first memory of the original PlayStation was when it was given to me as a gift. I remember having Tekken, and a off-roading game as my first PlayStation games. I mostly played Driver 2, Gran Turismo, and Gran Turismo 2. A few years later I got a PlayStation 2. The original PlayStation was one of my favorite game systems growing up as a kid and I still have it along with all of my other childhood game systems. My PlayStation is still in great condition.
I loved that Spyro demo. I really remember playing the heck out of a formula 1 demo. Like hours and days
We were poor bro, all i had was jampack demos...i loved them!
My first memory of the PSone was my dad and me at funcoland a couple years after the system had been released and saw it for pretty cheap. My dad just says, "Hey, you wanna get the Playstation??" And I'm like "YEAH!!!!" It was great. We had only ever had the SNES up to that point, so a new system in the house was very much welcomed. We also bought CTR and FF9 and had endless hours of fun!
My first memory of the PS1 was my little brother getting it as a birthday gift. We basically just played Tony Hawks pro skater 2 and GT2 exclusively. Good times.
Love me the Tony Hawk series...thanks for watching man!
First memory of the playstation 1 was playing gran turismo. That game was a great racing game and all the different cars in it.
I poured so many hours into Gran Turismo!
Found it at goodwill for 7.50$ and first game I bought was San Francisco rush racing game
Very cool, I love the san francisco rush games!
my first memory of the ps1 was getting the system and 3 games, Metal Gear Solid, Road Rash and Medal of Honor
Nice Jack! I love the Road rash series
My first memory of the playstation 1 was playing sypro, crash bandicoot, and duke nukem. I put so many hours into those games as a kid. I absolutely loved and still love the playstation 1. The first movie that comes to mind with the orange VHS is the original rugrats movie. Nice pickups! I can't wait to start hunting again when everything opens. The collection is expanding so quickly!
Great memories man, I love all of those game too! I know , I am super pleased by how its been growing!
Earliest memories from Playstation I have are from playing Twisted Metal 2, Star Wars Dark Forces, and Crash Bandicoot 2. Can't remember what my first Playstation games were now, was always more into Nintendo consoles and still into the Genesis at that time too. These three games I remember playing early though and enjoying a lot. Dark forces led me to the PC version and then the sequels to that which took up A LOT of my time for many years. Good times.
Also, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was so good too. Love that movie and the second one.
Great memories! I loved the first two movies...the third, not so much 😂
My memory is when my father got his and watched him play tomb raider and being amazed at what a disc console can do and wanting every game they made for it. You can say thats what got me collecting.
Lara croft was my first video game crush 😂
@@retrorick Tifa Lockhart was my first
@@teddyraymond6791 Love FF7!
This might age me, but my freshman year of college was when the PS1 came out - my roommate went out and bought it on launch day, and we played tons of Destruction Derby, Tomb Raider, Tekken, Gran Turismo, and REsident Evil. I used to have dreams about Tomb Raider we used to play that game so much. Great system.
Haha your dreams were better than mine...i had nightmares from playing Resident Evil 😂
My first memory with PS1 was when my Mom's bf bought the console and brought it over with 1 game, which was Driver. It was very cool and fascinating at the time because all i knew/had was Nintendo consoles. The PS1 was a craze upon release and I could see why. Needless to say, we played Driver until we beat it and i've been a huge Playstation fan ever since.
Also the first thing that comes to mind when i see the glorious orange VHS tapes is Ren & Stimpy. I used to rent the hell out of those back in the day. Pretty much been my fav. cartoon since.
Dude Driver is such a great game! I wasn't allowed to watch Ren and Stimpy growing up 😂
@@retrorick That sucks man, but totally understandable lol. It was pretty edgy and over the top with some questionable adult content at times. My mom was awesome in that regard hah.
I had the original playstation in my 20's. I played NHL 98, one of the EA MLB, and Gran Turismo all the time! I played Crash Bandicoot too. I just picked up a PS2 back in october and have been collecting PS1 and PS2 games again. I never played the Sly Cooper games until recently when I first found Sly Cooper 3 with 3-D glasses! Now I have the first three games. Never played Spyro until about two months ago. I have all three PS1 games now. Great video!
Hello Rick. I took of care of a young man with disabilities and his guardians had bought him a PlayStation 1.he couldn’t walk so he would spend along time setting on the floor playing.i don’t remember what games he had but I enjoyed watching him play.😀
My first experience was I found a Spyro game at the pawnshop and I took it home so when my cousin comes over he brought his PlayStation one and we played. that was the only game I ever had on PlayStation one
Well it was a good one to have! Thanks for watching
My first memory on ps1 i remember my uncle justin asked my brother and i if we loved video games shy guy me got hyped he brought out his slim ps1 with games i fall in love with Tony hawk pro skater and twisted metal 1 since then my memory still lives with childhood... collecting never been easy
Heck ya man, we played Graffiti mode on Tony Hawk for hours on end as kids
My first memory of the PlayStation One was watching my neighbor play one of the twisted metal games. As a Nintendo 64 fanboy I was used to the the colorful curved graphics of Diddy Kong Racing & Mario Kart. Where the PlayStation was much less “cartoony”. I’ve still never owned a PS1...
When I see an orange Nickelodeon vhs tape, I always think of Harriet of the Spy. Which was the first Nickelodeon movie...and now I just feel old
I get it man...Diddy kong is one of my favorite games to this day!
Also good call on Harriet the spy...not a lot of people know that!
1st memory of the ps1 was the legend of legaia game. Was playing it up to the point where I revived the first genesis tree, and I thought that I've just finished the game at that point. Lol.
I LOVE THAT GAME! I don't hear people talk about it very often
First memory of PlayStation was hooking up it up for the first time with Spyro. Hearing and seeing that Sony Intro screen with the orange diamond has forever been burned into my mind.
I never had a playstation 1, but I had some ps1 games that I played on ps2. I remember playing crash a bunch when I was younger
One of the best...thanks for watching Caleb!
First ps1 memory was 10 years ago at a vacation home my family stayed at for my dad’s birthday. They had a ps1 with Spyro and I played through so much of it. I even lied about being sick so I could stay inside and play it more.
A huge mentor in my life has the original PlayStation when I was about 11 years old. We never had one so this was my first interaction with it. He bought a wrestling game just for me and my brothers to play we when we were hanging out.
My first playstation memory is when a local card shop in my small home town actually tried to start selling video games. I wanted to support their effort so I bought their playstation and a copy of Final Fantasy VII. I had always meant to play Final Fantasy VII, especially since the completionist recently went through his series of FFVII games at the time. Getting that system and playing that game felt like I was betraying my roots, but I actually had a ton of fun with FFVII! No other Final Fantasy feels quite right now after playing that.
My dad had a PS1 when I was real young, and I used to watch him play Tomb Raider! Always thought it was the coolest thing ever.
Oh man, my first video game crush was Lara Croft 😂
Retro Rick Good choice man lmao
My first memory of the original PlayStation is when my friend got one on Christmas. He brought it to my house and we played jet moto for hours that day!
Jet Motto is so fun..i love that game!
I grew up when the PS2 / PS3 were out so my first experience with PlayStation games was playing Spyro riptos rage through backwards compatibility bon my PS2. Played through the game about four times and recently picked it up again during quarantine
I never had much exposure to the PlayStation 1, but my earliest memory of the PS1 was probably when I got my brother Hardball 99 on the PS1. He isn’t much of a gamer anymore, but he is currently a professional baseball player and when I was trying to think of gift ideas for his birthday I thought it would be interesting to see if any games released on his birthday and Hardball 99 just so happened to be the exact date my brother was born. So I called a few retro shops in my area and scooped it up at one and played it with him at home for a few hours after we were done trick or treating.
Driver you are the wheelman. I loved the open world driving around. The cars had working turn signals, the idling of the engine. It was great. Also trying to survive against the police! The driving course was hard as heck. That was my first memory of PlayStation. My friend owned a PlayStation. I had a Nintendo 64. So it was real treat to visit and play the crap outta that game.
Driver was soooo good! Though I poured more hours into Gran Turismo though...both great games!
Retro Rick Grand Turismo is a great game too.
I remember my mom talking me into buying ff7 and ff tactics for $20 ea instead of buying final fantasy 8 for 40. Best decision ever was final fantasy tactics is my favorite game of all time.
Final Fantasy tactics is such a great game!
I hadn't got in to the N64. Since the SNES i had fallen out of video games slightly. When I was finishing work one day and was waiting to clock out, my brother rang me and said "get home quick you've won a PlayStation". He'd missed a a parcel delivery and a package had been thrown over the back gate in the rain. The brown paper wrap had come away revealing the contents. He was excited, I raced home. Sure enough it was a Play Station and that was me back in to video games all the way to this today. For the first week we just played the demo disk as it came with no games. It also never came with a cover letter or anything so it was just my name and address and a console.
While visiting my mom in Illinois around '93 I remember seeing posters on a wall of a shop showing the PlayStation system in a mall there... I had no idea what it was but for some reason that memory stuck in my head all this time later
