A few months later, I was stunned to spot a number of new releases for PS1 selling at pricey Toys R Us for a mere $40 - half the price of most N64 games. But after dropping $80-90 apiece on several Nintendo 64 duds like Turok: Dinosaur Hunter, and seeing very little of interest in the future outside of first-party titles, I realized Nintendo was no longer the happening place for games and traded for a PlayStation. I’d been a Nintendo owner since the early NES days and, a decade later, didn’t see the need to change. I rolled into the 32-bit generation intent on totally skipping 32 bits and going directly to 64. For the system's 20th anniversary, we've thumbed through our brain files to contemplate our most striking PlayStation memories. And fittingly, we at USgamer have plenty of PlayStation memories to go around. PlayStation may well have been the first universal console - the one that every serious gamer owned, regardless of where in the world they lived. Pepper's esteemed band, the brand has been going in and out of style ever since (poor, poor Vita). It was 20 years ago today that Sony Computer Entertainment launched its very first console, the PlayStation, in the U.S. Some content, such as this article, has been migrated to VG247 for posterity after USgamer's closure - but it has not been edited or further vetted by the VG247 team. This article first appeared on USgamer, a partner publication of VG247.
