PS2…Pffft. I had a PlayStation. The indestructible grey box from the before times.
I played Final Fantasy VII, Driver, Silent Hill, Tekken 3, Resident Evil, Metal Gear Solid, and Grand Theft Auto.
Unless the power was out, you could pop in a disc, read the booklet, and play to your heart’s content.
Hell, if we are going to be talking old, how about playing Jeep Command or Pac-Man on the Commodore 64?
I need to go back in my dusty coffin and have a nap.
AND GET OFF MY LAWN!!!
My PS1 lasted for 10 years of heavy use, but it still wasn’t indestructible. That’s a term I reserve only for the Atari 2600. I dug mine (I actually own two) out of the ashes of my house that burnt down. Only the atari, a few carts (2600 and NES) and my doc martens survived that fire. Its hilarious that they still work.
edit: the irony is that the infamous E.T. game remained unscathed. You can’t kill pure evil.
Played Tekken 3 with my friend and his brother on their PS.
Then we also played SW : RotS on our PS2.
The PS2 is still around somewhere, but its CD drive sensor is bad, so it doesn’t detect when it’s closed. And thus doesn’t read discs. That was long ago. I need to find it, I think I’m grown up enough to fix one sensor or find a replacement drive.
I suppose the old game CDs all have scratches too bad to play, so some tinkering is expected to make it work.
And while there was an officially supported Linux version for it, of what I’ve read about it, it wasn’t of much use even then and was an advertising move (if so, worked on my dad, I remember him mentioning that back then).

Your PS1 was indestructible? The optical drive on every one I’ve ever seen had some sort of significant issue.

I still have one somewhere in the electronics graveyard
