Did anyone else play these games back in the day? I used to love them?

Rodney Bathgate

Silly Pitty and James Pond Codename Robocod much better.

rapul

Yeah still do, the young lad loves them, he's moreso into mario on the n64 at the mo but loves spyro. And gex gecko is another good one

PsychoPete

They were the first two games I started with when I got a ps one at 6 or 7 years of age, nearly 20 years later I'm playing the remastered versions

Boo! Originals all the way, old skool in this house! The old hercules game was great aswell, great thing about the ps3 years ago all the ps1 games for sale on the store don't need to crack out the ps1

And edit, apologies but ff7 greatest game ever on ps1 or any console, will never play the new version, blasphemy!

riffmongous

Yeah crash was the first game I bought too, some of those levels were so damn tough, but to mention the awful "save" system of bonus rounds

I remember getting a demo CD of the Hercules game in some magazine back in the day, along with Abe's Oddessy and Overboard. Top games!

loved Abe's Oddessy and his farting. I was Tomb Raider, Broken Sword, Abe's Odyssey, Tekken and Arachnaphobia on PS1.

Playstation with,
Crash Bandicoot.
Destruction Derby 2.
Acuta Soccer.

Jeysus thats a Christmas I wont ever forget. The best part was my buddy got an N64 so we had the best of both worlds.

I can remember the value of having a Demo with a few games on it. Even if it was only 1 level.

Tomb raider was hard, great game playing back through but was hard getting past the first level or part alone, that cave with a puma or some sort or animal jaysus I cant remember, shambolic! May throw it on 2moro aswell, admittedly its easily more than 20 years since I've played any tomb raider game, been starting a new game in ff7 since 1997 but tomb raider was forgotten, until now!

Yes it was so hard! I eventually completed it and the PS1 was stolen the following day, at least the game was completed first lol

Awh that's harsh, sorry to hear but fair dues completing it, think I only ever completed the tomb raider where she was in Venice with the canals and the boat and the side training game where you could lure the butler into the freezer and lock him in there?!

Tuco88

The first level in Driver is tough ��

Anyone remember spec ops on the ps1? Probably the hardest thing I ever played.

It's not a console game but did anyone ever play legend of myra on PC? Would love to play that again.

Yakult

Spyro was the first game I ever got, to play on my brothers PS1. Wish I was 8 again.

ArtyC

You can buy all three crash games for €40 updated for Xbox . Do it.
Absolutely brilliant craic had here and yeah it’s tricky enough - I thought I’d breeze through it but no!

They’re releasing a new crash in October- it may be the first thing I’ll ever pre-order

Your missing out, the remake is excellent and was definitely worth the wait. I loved crash 1-3 back in the day and the ps4 remake is the way to play these games now, wasn't a big fan of Spyro. Although there's many great platform games these days the Mario games are the best platformers by a long way.

The original playstation will always have by best gaming memories. Resident Evil, Tomb raider, metal gear solid and FF7 where all unforgettable. Crash bandicoot 4 is out later this year and looks really good

beertons

Yes, the kids love them. Don't forget Ratchet & Clank too.

Riddle101

Loved Crash Bandicoot but for me Sonic the Hedgehog was always the best.

Anyone here remember Official PlayStation Magazine Ireland?

Appearently Disney required a few though levels in their games so people who rent the games would be unlikely to complete it, expecting them to buy it.

Nice! yeah it was about that, remember thinking it as a big deal at the time, some good writers there too.

I'll attempt to put a pic or 2 of the covers of them today or 2moro, but yeah enjoyable and reasonable price if I recall compared to total guitar that was breaking the bank at the time!

We had a Spec Ops! Took me ages to learn there are fecking mines in the ground, you couldnt see them on the TV we used as the brightness was so low and back then no one dared to touch any of the buttons on the remote incase you fecked everything up

That would be very cool actually, nostalgia trip!

Anyone remember Sgt. Byrd from the 3rd Spyro game? Flying penguin, my schoolmate used to mispronounce his name as 'Scot Bird'.

Potential-Monke

Oh the memories of Demo Disc 1:

Crash was great, but was limited by the hardware and pixel perfect jumping. Spyro was fun but easy.
