    Such a fun system to collect for! Next to the Atari 2600, the most games I have for any one console is the PS1. Both are similarly cheap to collect for and have such a massive variety of stuff to choose from. And imports are a total pleasure for the PS1, that could be another lengthy video on its own.
    Nice list of games there, and the beauty of it is that my list would be almost 100% different :)

      Yeah, when I was young, I had an SNES, MAY have had a Nintendo 64 (I can't remember), then a PS1, PS2, Gamecube, Wii. I also much later on (in the past few years) bought a PS4 (which I gave to my brother for his birthday), and recently, a New 3DS XL. Other portable systems I had was the Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, Game Boy Advance SP.
      I think for many of us, Nintendo is near and dear to our hearts as it was and still is one of the only console systems to offer mostly main-brand (Non-third-party) games made by the company itself. Nintendo is really going somewhere new with the Switch with trying to get more third party software involved, and I just hope they execute their plans well and it all works out great and finally revitalizes Nintendo like it really needs and rightfully deserves.

    Fun fact: Soul Edge was renamed Soul Blade for the American release because there was some dickhead named Tim Langdell who owned an old PC game company named Edge Games, and he claimed to have a trademark on the word "Edge" and always threatened to sue anyone that put Edge in a game or product. It was only recently that the trademark was cancelled because he tried to sue EA in 2010, but of course he lost the case because... well he was just some trademark troll trying to sue one of the largest gaming companies in the world for infringement.

    I would honestly recommend the first Metal Gear Solid also, as a way for the new user to get used to the 3-D at the time. Fantastic game and quite challenging. And I would love to recommend Worms: Armageddon for more hilarious yet challenging tactics. Also:
    - Tekken 2
    - Tomb Raider
    - Spyro the Dragon
    - Medievil
    - Medal of Honor
    - Twisted Metal 2
    - Oddworld: Abe's Odyssey

  • @Zebra66
    @Zebra66 Před 6 lety +4

    The extra AV out on the first PS1 model was due to a lack of official cables when they first came out. I had to solder an RGB scart cable directly to the board for my Japanese ps1 console. Also, people liked to connect them to a seperate stereo system that wasn't connected to their TV. My rgb monitor at the time had no speakers so I used the phono connectors.

  • @Hoopydoo
    @Hoopydoo Před 5 lety +5

    I remember getting really hooked on the first Oddworld game - that might have been the first PS1 that really got me. It was so weird and different from anything else up to that point - part platformer, part puzzler, amazingly graphic graphics, and refreshingly original storyline. I just remember putting in a ton of time on the game, beating it, then learning that there's an alternate ending if you save all of the little Oddworld slave people. So then I was unable to rest until I "truly" finished the game. As a result, I didn't have any time for Resident Evil, Rayman, or Gran Turismo. Too busy with Oddworld...

    Damn. I remember being 9 or 10 years old at my friends house. He showed me Metal Gear Solid, we played a little bit. I instantly fell in love with the Cyborg Ninja boss fight. When Psycho Mantis made the controller move, even as a kid i noticed that this is a new way of videogames and how interaction with videogames evolved. I only had a Commodore 64 at that time, so it was incredible. It was a great time. My parents bought the PlayStation later, when it was released as a PS One. The years prior i went to the shopping mall in the summer holidays, playing the crap out of the Tekken 3 demo or fighting with older kids, because they always played "Battle Arena Toshinden 3" and never let the younger kids play it. Fun times. And when the N64 came out, i constantly ran from one shop to another to play these consoles for free. These feelings. :) From time to time my older brother, who moved out when i was a kid, came to us with his PlayStation and i played "Soul Blade" for days. Damn. I feel old.

    (1:36) If I recall correctly, the RCA jacks have a DC out mixed in because it was likely meant to be used with a Handycam RF modulator to output to older and lower-end TVs that didn't have composite video inputs. Some Sony Handycam cameras of the time had the same arrangement for A/V out.

    • @MetalJesusRocks
      @MetalJesusRocks  Před 8 lety +43

      +satanslegacy No, I really feel like it's best to mention the better games because people could get potentially find the games at Pawn shops, thrift stores or just borrow them from a friend. I have no control over prices and therefore it's best not to focus on it.

    I had the one you have, I had no idea they removed those ports and I never used the parallel port though I think I used it for an action replay from UK for cheats (not pirating I was about 8 years old Lol) cool vid learnt something new! Also Crash was my favourite game as a kid back when you'd play 1 or 2 games all year round and Personally I prefer Crash Bandicoot 2 to Warped as the polar bear level and the humour with N Cortex is just amazing. Soul Edge was changed due to that guy Tim Langdell who patented the word Edge and was a super patent troll towards anyone who used the word edge in any way shape or form, Larry Bundy Jr Did a fantastic video about it for Fact Hunt.

    Twisted metal was an awesome franchise

      Would love too see twisted metal 2 remade with today's graphics. Just update graphics and maybe add a car or two but keep it simple.

      The first one is really bad if you go back and play it, 2 was ridiculously glitched and out of control but, I look at them through nostalgic eyes and love it. I stopped after 3. Black was fine but

      All now above the average price where I'd take a punt on eBay unfortunately.

      All PS1 games are so old and very hard to get, so since when you buy them you dont support the developers anymore i would really recommend pirating them

      ThexXxXxOLOxXxXx true, but sometimes I still like to play old games on the original hardware, just for the added nostalgia kick.

      ThexXxXxOLOxXxXx I haven't gone looking for a PS1 of late but more that I think about it there's an odd spot between the GameCube/PS2 and then the SNES/Megadrive era where the PS1 can't be found in those cash for consoles stores easily but more are they going for big bucks on any classified ads.

    the reason soul egde was renamed soul Calibur was because some company named edge games copyrighted the name edge and gone after other companies who used the word edge in there product names. the creators of Soul Calibur didn't want to get into some legal troubles and decided to rename Soul Edge to Soul Calibur in its North America release. also fun fact: they intentionally misspelled Calibur just in case someone copyrighted the word Calibur.

    I remember a lot of games that you could take game out while its playing and put music in and play whatever you like! Loved it

    Even when I think I know everything there is to know, you always manage to show me something really cool that I have never heard of.
