This guy is like the one person at your job that keeps you employed there .
What 🤣
That's good to know
Gives u a reason to come back
Is this a compliment or an insult? 😂
Full stops come directly after the last word in a sentence, seems he might get your job after all?
It's so quiet because it doesn't have any fans in it
Also the CD drive sits on rubber grommets to minimize the noise from reading the disk
And it doesn't have any fans in it 'cause it don't need em, super low power consumption. One reason to play PS1 games on a PS1 console
@@Hakenfinger-Jakob Yup, add to this that the CDs in the PS1 spin significantly slower than the DVDs in PS2 or Blu-ray's in PS3.
im guessing the comments are referring to the disc reads, need to grease up the mechanical arm moving the laser head up and down, its severly dry
1994 til now is 30 years, not 20.
Love the vids - thanks for making them!
edit: Oh I just got to the part where you show your memory card. Be careful with those non-OEM ebay ones. You can usually use a few of the memory slots, but if you go beyond a certain amount they erase your data! I still use them sometimes, but I transfer any important saves to a more reliable card.
I am quite dumb...thank you for watching
MemCard Pro for the PS1 are popular. You can store lots of game saves. Or you can make a picoMemcard for the PS1.
@@BasementGamerYT How old are you?
Still my favorite generation. Games that I just want to play for fun not just to kill time.
PS1 has some great games Crash Bandicoot series, Tekken series, Metal gear solid, Pandemonium series, Tony Hawk series, Resident Evil series. PS3 is Still the Peak for me, but growing up around PS1 brings heaps of nostalgia.
Wish Legend of Dragoon would come back 😪
A Bugs life is better than all them 🐛🪲
For me it was also Syphon Filter, Spyro, Gran Turismo, Crash Team Racing. We still play CTR, Micro machines and Quake 2 in 4 player splitscreen 🙌
Don’t forget about hydro thunder
Medal of Honor series too.
I could spend 20 mins listening to this guy explain why charcoal grilling is better than propane.
The PS1 Slim and PS2 Slim are my favorite consoles purely from an aesthetic standpoint. Love both systems. Got my PS1 in 1999 for my birthday with Crash 1, Tomb Raider, and Rayman. Loved it, it's one of my favorite systems and the PS2 greatly improved on it, but I never got one for myself until I got a job and most of my collection is games I either wanted to play but never got the chance to or ones that my cousin owned
love the vids , keep it up
The PS1 was my first console growing up, specifically the PSone slim model from the early 2000s
My first owned console ever. love it so much, i got 5 just in case... please more PSX, get the Namco Gun and Time Crisis.
I've been binging your videos, 32 years old and definitely in my retro game collecting phase lol. PS1 & PS2 are my latest pick ups. Found your channel at the perfect time, thanks for the entertainment 🙏 would be cool to see you venture into other consoles, such as gamecube through wii u or something. Im here for it either way tho!
imagine being 10 at Christmas 1985 and being one of the first to get the NES
love the style you make your videos!
You’re are the best!!!❤ You will go far! ❤️
Let's go!! Love your videos bro!
Honestly, this brings back memories of when my best friend used to own a PS1 back in the day. If it wasn't for the PS1, I wouldn't have had a PS2 growing up.
Awesome video, as always!
I would love to see more videos focusing on particular games - really enjoyed the ones on True crime and GTA liberty city stories.
A bug's life the greatest ps1 game of all time 🍄🐜 🌿 🌾 🐝
nah, its Tomb Raider bro.
It’s actually Silent Hill 1.
Still have my original PS1, complete with my Eminem sticker from '99.
Awesome console. MGS1/2/3. GTA's, Splinter Cell. Way too many to mention.
Cool content brother 👍.
Splinter cell came out on PS2, not PS1. I guess you meant syphon filter
Love your vids dude
As a PS1 collector this video was 10/10 😂. Glad you found an interest in an amazing gem of console 🎉.
Your videos are so entertaining
The startup definitely brings back the anxiety feeling, hoping you get to the good screen.
Yes my man. Ps1 content.
Yeah the first edition had the 3 AV phono connections on the back. Also on the early version the laser disc drive was towards the upper left side, but heat from the internal PSU caused disc reading issues so they moved the laser to the right side on later models, like this one in the video.
Never owned a PS1 so excited to see your thoughts on this! Also I hope you make some 360 videos! 🔥
yea same
Ps1 and snes on a tube TV have been keeping me together in 2024. Silent hill, Parasite Eve, Spyro, Rayman, Resident Evil 1&2. Currently playing the hell out of final fantasy 3/6. Ps2 controllers work on ps1
Also my primary CD player lol
When I bought my ps3 I picked up Twisted Metal 2 and Final Fantasy 9. Both very fun games. Was going to get Tony hawk’s pro skater 2 but ended up choosing the Dreamcast version.
PS1 was the only system I owned growing up. The next system is owned was an Xbox 360 when I was like 18 and living out of home. As someone who is very familiar with the PS1, that double press to close the lid was iconic haha
bought one to learn a bit about electronics and successfully installed an xstation on it, love these old machines, they really dont build em like they used to do
The early ones with the rca ports were known for their sound quality. A lot of people use them as CD-players because the laser they used was apparently comparable with some much more expensive systems back in the day. They also had more problems however, e. g. overheating and the laser-sled wore out kind of quick thus needing new adjustment.
I have the PS1 Controller without analog sticks and I love it, I don’t know why but it just feels so good in my hands. It’s pretty satisfying to play games with. It’s abit annoying on later ps1 games like Crash Bandicoot Warped where they designed a lot of the levels to be used with the analog stick
My favorite console next to the Sega Genesis. Crash bandicoot, Spyro, twisted metal tomb raider Tony hawk series are all so awesome 😎
This video is a classic, really enjoyed it. Looking forward to more!
I bought an og PlayStation about a year ago so I could play my dad's old collection and it is in surprisingly great condition but doesn't have the little cover on the back
I have a fat PS2 and I love it. I play all of my PS1 and PS2 games with it.
I remember getting the original Playstation with birthday money when I was about 12 I think, I got it with Mortal Kombat Trilogy.
I played the all the way upto when I was 18, great console and lots of good games.
Dino Crisis 1 and 2
Resident Evil
Resident Evil 2
Resident Evil 3
Wipeout
Taken
Taken 2
Taken 3
Broken Sword 2
Doom
Metal Gear Solid
Final Fantasy 7
Gran turismo
Gta
Gta 2
I think there was a Rugrats game that was pretty good.
The Simpsons Wrestling was really good.
I know there are more but they are the games that spring to mind when I think of the original Playstation.
I had ps1 the year it released, i was about 15 and i picked fruit all summer holidays to get it along with Alien Trilogy and MK Trilogy.
One Basement Gamer and his journey with the PS1🤔
I got the 1st version of the PS1, which can be connected to a hifi system to being blast by the soundtrack of the games or even CDs including changing the variations of reverbs😃Mine is a chiped PAL one, which can play US and Japanese Games.
I still play my PS1 games on the original PlayStation. So nostalgic!
Keep an eye out for Bushido Blade, Omega Boost, Ghost in the Shell and Legacy of Kain.
I will never forget when i first played metal gear soild and how shocked i was with the graphics and atmosphere it was a head of its time indeed 😢
My first PlayStation experience was twisted metal 2. After only knowing Mario and donkey Kong type games, this blew me away.
A good upscaler, like the OSSC or one of the retrotinks, go a long way to making PS1 games look better. PS1 has RGB output also, so you can get a SCART cable that supports RGB to get better sharpness/colors/output/etc.
MyLifeInGaming has a good PS1 guide that you can watch where they go over the output details, and other videos that discuss upscalers.
The best upscalers you can get are probably the OSSC Pro, RetroTink 5x Pro, and PixelMorph 4k, but the less advanced and more affordable ones (original OSSC, RetroTink 2x) would be good enough if you're using a 1080p monitor/TV.
I only own a 360 console, but if I was going all retro personally would go all in on this route
syphon filter is great!!
Looks clean... (probably lightly used a magic eraser on the plastic) I love the PS1. I have a few models (original and slim). They are fun to clean, refurbish and put new capacitors in. I actually really like playing discs on the PSone slim but switch between the models depending on the game.
Man I've been buying a crap ton of PS1/PS2 game's lately, honestly I don't care if the graphics are bad. I love that nostalgic feeling when playing an old game. I've addicted to The Godfather and Mafia for the PS2.
Recently rebought the PSone (slim version), which is the one I grew up playing. And oh boy, that start up screen, nothing else can ever top it. But, I agree that playing games on their original hardware is the way to go, even if they do look worse than playing them on a PS3. Can’t deny, that PlayStation came out swinging and cornered both Nintendo and Sega. A legend indeed.
I was 10yr when the PS1 came out and me having the NES then Super NES and then saw the PS1 for the fist time at my friend's house, I was blown away by the 3d graphical leap, my broke ass would take 2 yrs to buy mine but by then it came with the dual shock analog controller and I bought Resident Evil 2 Dual Shock edition and that was awesome being able to play it on my 25" Philips Magnavox TV in my bedroom
My OG PSX had a sorta defect where games would freeze.. I really should have got it replaced but I just tossed it and got a PS 1 in like Dec 2000 you know the smaller model.. I still have it in the closet..
Maybe I’ll look into getting some memory cards and hook it up again one day! I still do play my ps 1 collection sometimes on ps3
The best way to experience what the PS1 offers ..... Speaking of original hardware.... CRT tvs. Light gun games shined.
A CRT is great but the screen is just a special vacuum tube that will eventually breakdown as they get older. Plus they could be expensive to replace.
@@yanghao8351 nothing lasts forever.
@@yanghao8351 they're more durable than you realise. I still have a crt that's probably 20 years old and it's still working fine.
@@Enzed_ was it new 20 years ago? It's around the 20 year mark where the electrolytic capacitors could start to fail and their ESR numbers or capacitance are way off. At any rate any electronic device 20 years and older should be looked over to see how the components are doing. It might be running fine but actually it could be slowly "failing".
@@Enzed_I'm trying to decide whether to get a CRT, Retrotino 5x or just use emulation. As much as I love the idea of having a CRT (particularly for pre- 6th gen consoles), it seems that I'd be looking at at least £200 for a 20+inch CRT (14 inch is a bit too small for me). Which is fine, but there's a chance it might only last me a few months (or even a few weeks). So at that point I'm thinking I just spend the extra £100 for a R5x which will last me probably forever (and allow me the convenience of being able to chill on my sofa playing on a 43 inch TV).
Syphon Filter is a great series. You should definitely give it a more in depth look. In a some way you can say that it is reminiscent of a modern Sony's 3rd person action games but still in early phases of it.
Oh yeah Tenchu was a good ninja game on the PS1
The PS1 was my childhood console and it was my first console I ever owned back in 1998 when I was 5 years old i remember playing Spyro the Dragon and gran Tursimo 1 back in 1998 and 1999
Two first PlayStation games I played that I played was micro machines v3 and formula one. The very first formula one game had the best controls they nailed it straight out of the gate. Wasn't a formula 1 fan at all still not but that game has perfect handling.
I've never seen a kangaroo in an olive garden. But as a part of the commonwealth, I've never seen a beaver in creek. Trod on a brown snake once, by accident. Nice console
Still my favourite console, i love the early 3d jank.
Scart cable to upscaler, that's the best way to play the PS1 without a PS1Digital mod.
I had a PS1 without an analog stick. Works pretty fine.
Damn this guy needs to get into full on game reviews on PC too, this guy is a natural talent
The RetroTINK-2x HDMI converter will help display quality some with these older systems.
It's more like 30 years old. That makes me feel old 😅
Parasyte eve, resident evil, and Syphonfilter were my favorites GTA was cool too.
Crash & Spyro trilogy made up my childhood
Every PlayStation 1 has a sticker on the bottom showing the month and year it was made. For example mine says June 1998. Also Syphon Filter was a really popular game when it came out. SF2 is the best one out the series. Spyro Year of the Dragon was my most favorite game as a kid.
My first console 🤘🏻
9:34 I still got atleast 5 of those first gen controllers lying around, more then i do dualshocks.
If you're gonna play ps1 on original hardware you gotta play it on an old CRT tube TV, they were never designed to look good on modern HD flat screens.
Or through an upscaler like the Retrotink 5x.
PS1 was an absolute beast/blast!! of a console. And crash bandicoot 1 of course was so amazing for it's time .
My PS1 sits in it's special place next to my 2600, PS2, Xbox360, Wii, Dreamcast, Gameboy, NDS and PS5. Long live vintage games.
Guilty of just liking the title without even watching the video.....given the opportunity and the catalogue of games I would play PS1 as well anyday....that at PS2.....
Grand Turismo 1 😍
It seems everyone I've talked to or watched videos from recalls living in a bubble where all their friends had N64 growing up and didn't know many people with PS1. I am also one of those people. In fact, after collecting for the N64 recently I got into the PS1 finally like you did and bought the same version of the system. I enjoy it quite a bit and I think It's different enough from the N64 that they are both warranted in one household. Take snowboard games for example. The N64 had 1080 which was lightyears better than Coolboarders 2 on PS1. Then take racing. The PS1 had gran turismo 2 and the N64 didn't really even have a racing simulator game. Then their first person shooters where N64 wins again. Then RPGs where PS1 wins again. Then multiplayer where N64 wins. video, music, and large sized games where PS1 wins. 3D platformers where N64 wins.
Damn. I completely forgot that I had Test Drive on the PS1 back in the day. I don't think I ever made any progress in that game.
GREAT VIDEO! Can you please share the link to where you bought the refurbished PS1?
I had a chipped PS1, however it went 'missing'. Funny how it vanished after one of my brother's "friend's" stopped over. I still have the first one we got, with the parallel port. The laser pickup on it no longer works though. A fixer in the future, assuming I can still buy a replacement. Popstarter on the PS2 will have to do.
I say this with love.he is the forrest gump of gaming.
The PS1 game library doesn't hold up as well as the PS2 or PS3, but it was still a great system. It got me back into video games. With Sega and Nintendo more focused on games for kids and teenagers, the PS1 offered a lot of more adult oriented games like the Twisted Metal games, Resident Evil, Silent Hill, Metal Gear Solid franchises.
I just picked up a ps3 and love using the ps4 controller on it. Best nhl game is nhl 14
Definitely recomend picking up Final Fantasy 9 metal gear solid and Crash bandicoot. Legendary games and they sell for cheap online 👍
What did you think of syphon filter 2?
I loved that game when i was a kid
First game i owned when i got the psx my friend had syphonfilter 1 used to play it all the time at his house but never could pas the first level so when we reached that point we restarted the mission untill one day he called me to tell me he had discoverd a way to finish the mission
Just fun memorys i have with syphonfilter but also spyro, crash, driver, deadballzone, tekken2&3, hogs of war, thps2
Hey man great video! I have a question. How do you set up an old console like that on your monitor with the best settings?
My ps1 came with the controller without the sticks.. you've got to remember we had all moved on from snes and megadrive that only had a dpad.. its amazing how good you can get with a dpad when thats all youve ever had. I remember having to learn to play with thumbsticks 😂
At first everyone held them like tiny arcade sticks 😅
Try out Ridge Racer Type 4 that's my favorite racing game on ps1 and it still holds up
Syphon Filter 2 is magnificent, hopefully you can get the first one since, obviously, for story reasons you might want to start with the first one 😅 and basically gameplay-wise it's pretty much the same, in short; it is incredibly fun and badass, really epic series, at least the PS1 trilogy
My fave ps1 games:
- Driver
- Bushido Blade
- Warcraft II
edit: oh ya and final fantasy 9
My favorite system next to the xbox 360
the best games for ps1 are: army men air attack 2, winning eleven 2002 (the intro is just hmmm) and motor racer 2
You should play Driver 2 for PS1.
Not necessarily for a video, its just a good game I think you'd like. I would like to see you do a video on the Dreamcast, though.
one Latin phrase that best describes the ps1: Sic Parvis Magna- Greatness from small beginning's.
Some PS1s have video visualizers when you play an audio CD in it. I think the later models removed it.
PS one can be played on evry PS3. But to get the best value from your PS one using a CRT for light gun 🔫 shutters is a must.
I recommend you get Heart of Darkness and Gundam Assault 2
I was thinking of selling my PS5 because this is what i play all the time along with PS2
I bought my PS1 used with Syphon Filter when the PS2 came out... I forgot to buy a memory card 🫠
More people should know about syphon filter
i knew the ps1 was coming
ma om i want tony hawk pro skater. Son we have tony hawk pro skater at home. Tony Hawk pro skater at home:
I own both the OG PS1 and the slim PSOne.
I prefer playing on the PSOne, but the fat one is chipped and that's the one I use for games from other regions.
They should take you for young Reddington role in the blacklist tv show 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 you will be perfect for the role
Obscure games to try... Jackie chans stunt master, parasite eve 2 and hogs of war would be some good rare ones to try for you bud.
I absolutely love my PS1 and all of the PlayStations however I seriously wish they would go back to Jewel case format and give us instruction booklets and even make a variation of PlayStation that is in the same case design as the PS1. It's so small and minimalist that you'd think with all of the slim designs that they're building these consoles on for their second and or third revision that they would have went back to this design in some way shape or form, and for all do you who sit here and say that they can't for whatever reason is asinine considering there is a huge variation of mini PCs out there that are smaller and every way shape or form then the PS1 and function just as good as consoles today if not better.
Great video as always! Where are you buying these older consoles?
EBay or Amazon
@@alkhoajayou aren’t the basement gamer!

Been finding a lot of them on ebay
