I just went through my collection and did a count on my Playstation
(orig.) games, and the total as of today is 277. I actually thought for
some reason the number was over 300, but I'm almost at the milestone
anyway.
As you all know, I had trouble warming up to the Playstation for a long
time. But I'm happy to inform you all that I have made a major
BREAKTHROUGH in this area. I totally LOVE the playstation now, as I am
discovering many of the games for the first time (most of the games I
have I haven't even played..), and I am also reliving old favorites
like Battle Arena Toshinden and Philosoma.
Last night, I played Battle Arena Toshinden 1, 2, and 3 (using the
Tekken fighting stick). I even beat 3 using Sofia all the way through.
The playstation often gets criticized these days, mainly by people
citing that it's graphics haven't aged well. While in SOME cases (ie:
Twisted metal), I would agree, for the most part I think a lot of the
Playstation games are STILL impressive - but even more than that, the
Playstation's graphics have a real DISTINCTIVE look to them. Yeah they
come across as archaic at times - but for me, it only adds to it's
distinctive charm.
And even though I know some of you feel differently, I STILL somehow
see the playstation as an extention of the Super NES. It just has that
"old school" feel. I won't ask you to agree with me, sorry for that
earlier, but I DO ask that you respect my choice to belive this and not
to dispute it.
