Wasn't really a single game that made me get the PS1, was more like a lack of certain games on my N64 that made me go get the PS1 and then I got to enjoy my wonderful JRPGs :D Back then my favorite genres were Platformers and RPGs (Still is!) so I got the best of both worlds by owning both the N64 and PS1.

I had an N64 and thought it was great. It was all I knew.... But after Killer Instinct Gold, there were no new games I wanted to buy. My friend showed me Tekken 2. I was blown away.

I bought a PS1 and toshinden (crap), Tomb Raider, and Resident Evil a couple of months later. Couldn't have been happier.

Oddly enough I got one as a gift which included GT (never was a fan though). Medieval, Spyro & LoD defined the PS1 for me.

Playing resident evil at a friend's house. Was saving every penny I got my hands on waiting for the n64, but after playing that I had to get a playstation.

Literally the first ones I played: Destruction Derby and Ridge Racer. Then I played Tekken and Warhark the second time I rented it. Had one about 3 months after launch.

True story: I bought one because I was angry at Nintendo for delaying the Nintendo 64 again (lol). That was spring 1996, just as Resident Evil was coming out.

I got it with Wipe Out, NFL Game Day, and later grabbed NBA Live '96.

None. I bought PS1 completely blind. I remember one guy talking how Ridge Racer was the best racing game ever and how PS1 would be the future with CD's. That's it, no photos, no articles, no gameplay, I did not even know what the console looked like. Had NES and SNES before. Bought it pretty much at launch, I was mad lucky, lol.

I honestly can't remember buying one, though I know I did.

I think it must've been Crash Bandicoot. I'd played that pretty early on and been wowed by it.

ClassicGamingWizzz said: Tekken 3 , my mind was blown when i saw this game.

lol the same. I went to a now closed videogame store called Electronic Boutique to get my parents to buy me a N64 because somehow a copy of Mario 64 made it home and I could only watch the backbox cuz I didn't have the system.

Then they had Tekken 3 there for costumers to play and I played the game for several minutes and told my parents to buy me that one instead. :D I had played Mortal Kombat games before, so when I saw those guys in Tekken 3 side-stepping while fighting I was like: "The future is now, baby! This is next-gen!". Well, I was too young back then to even know what gaming gens were but hopefully I am conveying the feeling.

One day I lent my PS1 to a friend and he lent me his 64 for some weeks to play because he got so crazy for Chrono Cross when I showed that game to him and I got to play me some N64. He switched to PlayStation the following gens, but I never were more happy to have chosen my PS1 that day. :D

That's a pretty amazing advert, daft that it shows a spoiler, altho it is also shown in a picture on the back of the box of the game but it's not as obvious as when they state "a love that cannot be"

OT I can't actually remember 1 game in particular, I recall playing GTA for hours at a friends place, think between Gran Turismo 1 and Tekken 2 I really wanted it, I don't think I got FF7 around launch but saw it in a game shop here and see rpg by Squaresoft, having played Secret of Mana and Evermore on the SNES to death I figured I'd like it.

Great system tho, can't believe it was 20 years ago, I would have been... 12? damn.
