Still play the PS1?

I recently dug up my old PS1 + the games which i have kept it loving condition over the years, set it up,and started playing. Tho the first thing i noticed was the polygon graphics, I got hooked instantly... again. Now while my mates play Black Ops i play freakin Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, and Silent Hill. The old games were so much better, you have to get a lot of things right, you can't make mistakes. Timing, aim, limited lives, it was so much harder, even now! Soon as PS2 came out, all of those animated character-type games all became for 5-year olds, except maybe Ratchet & Clank. Silent Hill got even better though, and creepier, I find it kind of hard 2 be scared by the first game now when everything looks so crap lol. But as well as Daggerfall on the way, I'm a new retro gamer, and proud. Any1 else play the old PS1 games?

Still got an old PS1 sitting in my closet, haven't dug it out in ages. I think I still have the first 2 Crash Bandicoots...those were my first games on that. I know I still have Resident Evil:Director's Cut, MGS, FVII, FFVIII, FFIX, Chocobo Racing, Silent Hill, and a few others. Just don't have a TV to hook it up to :(

lol my PS1 died on me. controllers stopped working, in either slot, no matter the controller. its like it wasnt reading it anymore. so when i got a PS2, i took apart my Ps1 cause i thought all the chips were cool (not that i knew about them, i was like 10, if that, idr) i had them in a bag for the longest time cause i wanted to find a use for them (pretend play wise i mean, not an actual working use) but idk, i never did and threw them out at some point.

Ouch. The PS1 I have in my closet likes to reset itself randomly...I never figured out what was causing that. My previous one I burnt the motor out on it lol. Burned the motor out on my PS2 too :P I have bad luck with consoles...every one I've owned has either completely died or starts working funky. But back then, I would play 4-6 hours on the weekdays after school and about 8-10 hours on the weekend. My dad started calling me Console Killer after awhile :P

I love playing a lot of classic games such as the original Resident Evil Trilogy, Spyro (FTW!), Silent Hill, Syphon Filter, Twisted Metal, just to name a few of the old game series that I still play. Honestly, I am losing faith that games will go back to the way they used to be where it took time, skill, and focus to truly understand everything and some things might still remain a mystery, there was so much depth to the stories that these classics told. Video game critic Adam Sessler at G4, while I was watching his weekly webshow Sessler's Soapbox brought up a good point and I, myself have basically been saying the same thing, that the video game industry to seems to be pulling away from this, and only a handful of developers such as Bethesda, Bungie, Epic Games (Gears 3 anyone?), and Visceral Games are really trying their best to keep this tradition of what video games had in a lot of the classic games.
