I did a similar thing to you but with the PS1 not long ago. I decided I was tired on new gen games (this was mid to late PS3 time) and wanted because I suddenly had money, to buy all the PS1 games I wanted when I was a kid but couldn't afford. So I basically went out and bought loads of rare/good PS1 games. I have nearly all (or at least 1) of all the major fighting games for it (I'm missing Darkstalkers 3, apparently that is as expensive as new games) and loads of puzzle games.

Because of this I found Devil Dice, one of the best games the PS1 ever had... no seriously, play it, amazingly fun.

I'll do it with the PS2 at some point as well, with more JRPGs on offer.

Ps1 is also a system i need plenty and games for.

Its weird but i played and completed more games on the ps3 than ps2 yet i keep screaming ps2 is the best game console of all time without playing a shitton of the best games available for it.

It's time to change that. 

I still play PS2.... how many years has it been now? 16? it feels like forever, but honestly it has the games for it.

If PS4 ends up at 140 million units sold or more, Im sure eventually it will have a game library about equal to the PS2's.

Maybe we ll still be playing it 16years from now.

I know what you mean. I have lots of PS3 games but I'd say they are more generic. A few CoDs, ME series, stuff like that. IYet I'm guessing it's because you could afford it, like you mention in the opening post. Back in my PS2 days, I was at Uni and latter parts of it, looking for a job. I had no money to go out and buy every game. I think in the last few years 2006 - 2007, I only bought like 2 games for the PS2, Valkyrie Profile 2 and FF12. Both great games and in a sense and end of an era for gaming. JRPGs took a real hit in the 7th Gen for me. I think I bought like 1 JRPG last gen and that was FF13 and well... you know.

Look out for Shadow Hearts Coventant, it seems highly sought after, I've yet to be able to get a copy but then I'm kind of not will to pay £25+ for a 11 year old game, collectable or not (didn't pay over £15 for any of my Ps1 games, I think Kurushi was my most expensive, 'tis the reason I've yet to buy the Discworld PS1 games).

Yea!

Well ps4 is definitely the new ps2 and well at least beat last gen's  Library with ease(it already did in my point of view) 

why not PS1?

Yes,many shooters,racing games and not so good jrpgs on the ps3,the old school ps1/2 days jrpgs went to the nds and psp etc.

Dont know what happend but from one year to another jrpgs went from epic to blame lame, bad,fan serviced,over the rop combat systems with lame stories and ugly graphics (not including the tales of games/wkc 1 and 2)  ff13 is the only one that looks amazing but..yea....lame.

Believe it or not i pretty much have all the high profile jrpgs on the ps2(not all of.them ofcourse) 

I just don't...play them.

Somehow my brains thinks newer games are the better games.

Brain is wrong.

A lot harder to collect for here in holland.

I do wanne re start final Fantasy 6. And keep playing suikoden 2!

Maybe also star ocean the first departure.

Fuuuuu! You should be ashamed of yourself, finish the game NOW!

Kinda where I am at, but for me it is going to Nintendo. The WiiU library does a good job of keepibg that old school magic alive and it is home to my all time favorite franchise (Legend of Zelda).

Right now I am just replaying all of the Canon Zelda games in preparation for Zelda HD (from the HD remakes all the way to the NES classics). I am going about it a LITTLE differently, but I can certainly relate. Having more fun playing Twilight Princess than I have in LONG time, so I can already tell I made the right decision. Looking forward to NX and hoping it can be a hit while still giving us that old magic we all know and love.
