      I wasn't familiar with it either until I compiled this list, not a bad game at all!

    Great video. If memory serves, wasn't Street Fighter The Movie also a launch title in the UK? I'm sure there were a handful of copies at Future Zone during launch weekend, but most people were picking up Toshinden and Ridge Racer.

    3D Lemmings' camera shows how revolutionary was the adoption of dualshock. Even if you compare with the n64, camera control with the C buttons was very primitive.

      You're spot on there, the dual analogue sticks changed so much with 3D games.

      @@HowtoRetro I was thinking about those controllers when I played Sega Saturn emulator on the 8bitDo 6-button sega controller vs a Xbox One controller. Those dual analog sticks are given on modern gaming, but are such game changer (literally) by the time.

      I always remembered ape escape as the first proper dual analog designed game

    PS2 had the best Sony console launch imo but PS1 was the most memorable.

      Aside from smashing the Saturn (although I loved the Saturn too), it was such a big leap from my Mega Drive and Amiga, definitely stands out more in my memory.
      The PS2 stands out for me because of the high price people paid for Japanese imports before the UK launch, it seemed so out of reach!
