      Editing … I'm skeptical this will do particularly well. PS1 games being some of the earliest 3D home console titles are also some of the most unpleasant I've revisited. Those rough edges and blocky polygons just don't age as well as 2D sprites on the SNES. Aliasing is a real pet peeve for me personally. And it wasn't until the PS2 that devs started consistently offering good camera control, and on that note, WTF are they thinking providing the controllers sans analog sticks?!?! Also since other companies have a better track record with digital distribution and aren't techno-fascists like Nintendo there are better ways to play a lot of the PS1's library. My PS3 is still hooked to my TV and can play what few PS1 games I own. So can the PS2. A ton of these games are available on digital distribution platforms for modern consoles. Nearly all of the Final Fantasies are on Steam.

      Editing … I'd say Sony's one opportunity is to totally lap Nintendo in terms of features. Since the dual-shock controller has barely changed over the years, make the DS3 and 4 compatible with the PS Classic. Since they must include those shitty controllers, at least make the cords a decent length. Find a way to include trophy support. In terms of the games lineup, they would have to swing for the fences to get me interested. Final Fantasy VII is the only title they've revealed that I'd genuinely like to play. Tekken 3 and Ridge Racer might be fun to revisit the past. Those other two I likely wouldn't even bother touching, I mean WTF is Jumping Flash? In terms of the rest, Final Fantasy Tactics is a must. Final Fantasy IX, Chrono Cross, Xenogears, Vagrant Story, Symphony of the Night and Silent Hill would be excellent choices to get me interested. Including any of the Tomb Raiders would just be sadistic, those games are unplayable by modern standards. Resident Evil, Crash and Spyro will probably make it in to some degree but I don't really care. Metal Gear Solid deserves to be on there but I already own it so meh. Yeah, there's no way I'm picking this up.

    The other day my dad found a fully operational PlayStation someone threw away, so he brought it home and put it in my room next to my other consoles - not knowing exactly what it was but assuming I'd like it.

    Thanks, dad!

    Nothing in gaming will ever blow my mind quite like the introduction of the PS1 and the advent of mainstream 3D gaming. Graphical upgrades and open-worlds are cool and all, but to literally add an entire dimension to gaming was an absolute feat. I spent hours mesmerised by the tech demos on the "Demo one" disc. It took a while to get used to moving in three dimensions, and even longer for me to get used to analog sticks when they were introduced a little later.

    I still remember the novelty of memory cards, and having the ability to take your saves to a friends house and continue where you left off. The marketing was pretty weird, as is Sony's signature style. But it was all part of the experience. This was something new, something revolutionary. Even as a kid, I could see that. Gaming was always a part of my childhood, but the PS1 is where it became an obsession. Yes, I am a Sony fanboy and I openly admit it, but this console is the reason why.

    Crash Bandicoot, Die Hard Trilogy, Bloody Roar, Syphon Filter, Abe's Oddysee, Worms, GTA, Tomb Raider, Metal Gear, G-Police, Harvest Moon, Tekken, Theme Park, etc. These are all series/games that I will always treasure and this big old grey box will always be a huge part of my gaming identity ^_^

Before that, my sister had both a ps1 and a nes, but I always preferred ps1. Funny enough, I haven't played half the games you mentioned and the only one I care about is Metal Gear Solid. Spider-Man, Silent Hill, Spyro the Dragon, Final Fantasy VII, Twisted Metal III, Harry Potter, Jersey Devil, and A Bugs Life are the things I remember playing.

    The Sony Playstation is a very remembered platform for shaping a large part of modern 3d gaming. As is usual with Sony consoles this system had a huge impact in it's generation and it's library is very good with a lot of classics lasting to today. I personally haven't used this system much so it isn't in my top 10 but might get there someday later on in my gaming "career."
