PS1 and SNES - The best two consoles ever. Incredible libraries.

Funny that the PS1 was originally going to be an add-on for the SNES, until Nintendo told them to buzz off and Sony said fine, we'll make a major console then!

Yeah, lets remember how the PS1 made gaming easy, as such invited all the morans into the gaming industry, and ruined video games for everyone.

Death to consoles.

on ps1 you could remove the game disc for a lot of games after the level loaded and throw any cd in to play your own music. headsets could be used to communicate in online games (online games had been on console already (albeit without voice communication) but it was niche and ps1 helped make it more mainstream).

Did you ever play Monster Rancher? The game would actually have you take out the CD from the playstation and put another one in it so it could read it and then it would spawn you a new monster based on the disc data. It could be any kind of CD like music or other games. I went through every CD I owned lol.

Quake 2 on PC used CD audio as well. Probably other PC games did but that's the only one I ever noticed.

SNES/Genesis era was the only era where consoles definitely beat PC's. NES was decent but just like the Atari it was nothing compared to the old school arcade scene.

It was a real bitch saving up to get a decent gaming PC in the late 90's, but with piracy and a huge appetite for gaming it was relatively cheaper and better. The internet culture was a lot edgier then too, closer to Voat than Facebook. Normies ruined the fun in the 00's. Sigh...

Going through your whole CD collection trying to get a cool monster in Monster Rancher is a strong memory from that period of time. Getting pissed if I got a Suezo. Fucking willful Suezos. Or Mochis.

VII changed life. Also Chrono Cross, even if just for the soundtrack.

Skull Monkeys. Heart of Darkness. The Oddworld games. Legacy of Kain. There were some awesome titles back in the day.

I was enjoying the genius of the Radeon x550 at that point in time

Easier to just put in a modchip, assuming you can still find them.

I don't know, I thought you had to disc swap after the Sony bootup on an actual game disc.

I think that is how it is done bit I'm too lazy to Google that for you.

If i recall correctly... you boot with a legit disk, and swap after the ps1 logo does its thing. Just youtube it and find a video.
