For me, it was Destruction Derby on PS1. At the time this was a class game. My cousin use to come down to my house with his PS1 and this is all i would play on. Despite its bad controls at the time it was a very realistic game. The cars behaved realistic with the way they crumpled and crashed, and the sounds were excellent. Also the graphics were brilliant and this really helped the way the cars were wrecked.
Other than this game it was Tomb Raider that again got me into Sony, we all know how good that game was, just a shame it couldnt be carried on down the series.
So what game got you onto the Sony machines?

{I was searching the shops for Final Fantasy 7 back in summer of 2001 when I couldn't find it anywhere. So i searched. And i searched. And then, realising that Ill never find FF7, i was happy to settle with FF8. I borrowed FF7 from a friend and FF8 lay unopened for 2 days. Then i thoughtm "Hey a payed £19.99 for that!" and opened FF8. So i guess my first real Sony entrance was FF7. But i liked FF8 better.}

DOA2 made me get a PS2 and I still think it's the best beat-em-up for Sony's console.
> But is that the game that made you get a PS1?
I...think it was, or maybe it was Wipeout.
One of the two. Then later on, before I got a PS1, I saw a legless, armless and neckless character called Rayman. This game made me crave for a Playstation even more!

Snap! My friend bought this, and I was hooked! I think (though its hazy now) that I got the fire pack from SR, but that could have been my brother... not sure. Anyway, it was initially DD that did it - though I never bought the game.
Once I`d decided it was the console to go for, I bought a few mags, and went for Wipeout 2097 and Crash Bandicoot as my first two games on PSone.
