Sure I'll share! Got in in 2001 (I would have been 5) as a Christmas present for the entire family (all 5 of us kids) from Grandma. I remember it coming with a Jampack demo disc and that thing kept us occupied for a long time; just trying out the various demos like Coolboarders, Spyro, Tekken, Driver, Gran Turismo, Blasto, Jersey Devil etc. I'm pretty sure that disc was the only one that came with it. My sister got Spyro 1 for her birthday (I have wrapped that game at least 20 times at full 100% and still play through it), my brother bought Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 (lots of fun playing 2 player HORSE with my brothers), my other sister bought Crash Bandicoot 2 (I've beat it around 20 times but never got all the colored gems! Reminds me of one time in grade 6 computer class when I got kicked out for Youtubing videos of how to get the gems. It was that red one on Snow Go that pisses me off haha) and Twisted Metal 2 (had so much fun with this; even my mom played with us as Axel). We also had High Heat Baseball 2000 and Gran Turismo 2 I believe, and Tomba which my one sister borrowed from a friend and never returned.
I beat all of those games and all of the demos so many times it isn't even funny. Believe it or not I didn't play a MGS/FF/RE game because my mom was quite strict on the ratings (my sister snuck Twisted Metal in and ironically mom liked it). The console melted about 2 years into its life from all the playtime and I never laid my hands on one again until I rescued one from a flooded house in 2008. I played the old games again and also Mort the Chicken, which my brother took from his girlfriend's house lol. That system is still at home with Spyro, Mort and the Jampack disc but all the other games have been lost. To this day the PS1 remains my favorite console of all time. Even when we got a PS2 I mostly used it to play Crash and Spyro all over and over again. My best friend in elementary had a PS1 and the Spyro trilogy and I remember wanting to go over there to play it all the time. Almost everyone I knew had a PS1 but we really didn't talk about it too much; we were too busy playfighting. Half of them just had older siblings that used them as CD players.
When I look at the game line-up for the PS1: Final Fantasy 7, Final Fantasy 9, Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2, Spyro, Crash Bandicoot, Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil, Silent Hill, Vagrant Story, Xenogears, Tekken, Twisted Metal, Chrono Cross, Gran Turismo, Castlevania, Suikoden, Legend of Dragoon, Parasite Eve, Tomba, Street Fighter, Tomb Raider, Star Ocean, Syphon Filter and the list goes on. Long story made very long: Nothing compares.
