September 9th 1995 saw the release of Sony's first games console and arguably an important new generation of gaming.
The console may have not been the only one on the scene, the N64 and Saturn joined it, but Sony's clever marketing in nightclubs and on TV meant that games like Wipeout and Crash Bandicoot were cemented into the minds of gamers.
So, what are your memories of the PS1? Did it change gaming for you?
I always felt that the Dreamcast was criminally undersold. It was an excellent console with some fantastic games (some of which made their way to Gamecube and Xbox).
Who remembers MSR? The pre-cursor to Project Gotham Racing had the perfect balancing system and ideas that you can still find in forthcoming games like Forza Horizon 2 (some of the development team from MSR are now Playground Games).
Jet Set Radio, Skies of Arcadia, Power Stone, the first Soul Calibur game, Shenmue, Phantasy Star Online...

As I've already mentioned, Crash Bandicoot was a favourite and I distinctly remember playing a Rugrats golf game??Any source for that would be greatly appreciated.
There's this new technology you can use, it's called Google ;)

That's exactly it, it's as dreadful as I remember but still I can't dislike it.
Google you say, you must mean Bing ;)
