I remember playing Resident Evil at a friend's house. Creepy as **** and so intense, at least at the time. Kept expecting his mom to bust in and turn it off. I started saving up money at that point, with the goal of having enough to buy a PSX around Christmas time. The only things I bought during that period was issues of EGM (so I'd have an idea of what to buy) and an abused copy of Tekken 2 from a video store.
Then Christmas hit, and was surprised to get a PSX as a gift. Played the demo disk & Tekken 2 like crazy, then realized I could spend the money meant for the system on games. That was glorious. FF7, Tomb Raider 2, Crash Bandicoot, Twisted Metal 2 & Resident Evil. And the awesome games just kept coming.
Wasn't all peaches & cream, though. I bought a "super memory card" or something, and it kept erasing my FF7 save at about the 10 hour mark. Now I know it's because the stupid thing was supposed to be removed before turning the system on or off, but I was so pissed at the time.
