Nope, this aint one of them crappy which game shall i buy topics, instead, which game got you onto the Sony console route?

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?

Probably ISS Evolution. I'm a 'newer' fan of Sony than most people.

I think it must have been Wipeout. I played it round a mates house and was quite stunned at the graphics and the playabilty.

The resi evil series got me interested in PS1, one of the earliest and best survival horror games for any console.

It would be Formula 1 for PS1. Could it have been anything else?

I liked playing Ridge Racer at the arcades so got a Playstion with Ridge Racer Revolution, then got Destruction Derby 2 soon after and loved the damage effects with bits of the car flying everywhere. I used to block the track with my car at the narrowest point and cause a massive pile up of cars.

Now that you mention it, the first game that made me really sit up and say 'I have to have a Playstation' was Gran Turismo. Ammusingly, when I got round to buying one, my first game was Final Fantasy VII. In fact, the first game I bought in the GT series was GT3 for PS2. Odd that. :)

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.
