That christmas we had our sleepover and by then my friend also had Rayman, Warhawk, Twisted Metal, Loaded(I think)...those poor games, once we popped in Twisted Metal, that was it, we abused the hell out of that game. Then just before my birthday(Jan. 26th) he got Street Fighter Alpha(import i think)...Good God we played the shit out of that...I was so into that game Summer of '94, I couldn't believe it was home in arcade perfect form. That sealed the deal for me and i just had to have a PS....I eventually got one of my own in March, with Twisted Metal and SFA. Another friend who had a Saturn had X-Men:COTA and i remember praying those shitty Chips&Bits ads were right and that it was coming to the Playstation...didn't know that it would be YEARS down the line...Darkstalkers had to do.
I also loved those early redbook audio games that allowed you to insert a music CD and play your own music. It was like a pre-XBOX, lol. I remember playing WipEout with a music CD, and it even had a hollow/echo effect while going through tunnels.

SHIT. I'm getting old.
"U R NOT E"
Such a cool marketing campaign.

COCKLES said:10 years? Wow.
I remember all the pre-release hype that went on from early rumblings of PSX in Edge (who coined the PSX initials if I remember)...

Is PS2 really 1000 times more powerful than PSone?
Have games really come that far since PSone?
Just curious.
PSOne was maxed at 360k polygons per second theoretical, PS2 has 75 million theoretical.
Only 1 measure, but that would be ~200x more powerful

The PlayStation II and III are already planned, but don't let that stop you from buying the PlayStation I, as the PS II is planned for 1998 and PS III in 2003. So relax and get on with it.
