==Why It's the Power of PlayStation== #Over '''2.400''' titles were released for the system! #It can play audio CDs. Many audiophiles claim a specific model (the SCPH-100x) is one of the best CD players ever made. #Helped in the major shift of 2D gaming to 3D gaming, along with the [[Nintendo 64]]. #[[PC Engine/TurboGrafx-16|While it was not the first game console to use CDs]], it was the first to do so successfully and made CD use popular. Discs are now the standard game format for home consoles. #While the Nintendo 64 introduced analog sticks, the PlayStation DualShock controller was the one that set the standard for future consoles' analog stick usage with the use of two separate analog sticks on the controller rather than one and on top of that it wasn't bad like the N64 analog stick. #'''The startup sound.''' # A huge number of role-playing games and platformer titles. #It was very easy to develop for, thus gaining very strong third-party support, and later smaller homebrew support too. #It is the first console in history to reach 100 million units sold. #A smaller model called the ''PSOne'' was also released, which is a great option if you don't have much space. #A large number of very good games (some of which were the beginning of franchises) including: #*''[[Final Fantasy VII]]'', Final Fantasy VIII, & ''[[Final Fantasy IX|IX]]'' #*''[[Resident Evil]]'' franchise #*''The Legend of Dragoon'' #*[[Tekken (1994)]], [[Tekken 2]], and [[Tekken 3]] #*''Parasite Eve''' #*[[Tomb Raider (1996)]], [[Tomb Raider II]], [[Tomb Raider III]], [[Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation]] and [[Tomb Raider: Chronicles]] #*''Rayman'' #*[[Gokujō Parodius! ~Kako no Eikō o Motomete~|Gokujō Parodius! ~Kako no Eikō o Motomete,]] #*Jikkyō Oshaberi Parodius ~forever with me~ #*''Sexy Parodius'' #*''Gran Turismo 1'' & ''Gran Turismo 2'' #*[[Tony Hawk's Pro Skater]] and [[Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2]] #*''Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee'', and its sequel, ''Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus''. #*''[[Metal Gear Solid]]'' #*''[[Pac-Man World]]'' #*''[[Crash Bandicoot (video game)|Crash Bandicoot]]'', ''[[Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back|Cortex Strikes Back]]'', and ''[[Crash Bandicoot: Warped|Warped]]'' #*''[[Spyro the Dragon]]'', ''Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage'', and ''Spyro: Year of the Dragon'' #*[[PaRappa the Rapper]] #*''MediEvil'' #*''Twisted Metal'', ''Twisted Metal 2'' and ''Twisted Metal 4'' #*[[Castlevania: Symphony of the Night]] #*''[[Namco Museum (1995-1998)|Namco Museum]]'' #*''[[Mega Man X4]]'', ''[[Mega Man X5|X5]]'' and [[Mega Man X6|X6]] (depending on your point view). #*''[[Klonoa: Door to Phantomile]]'' #Many of its games are also available to download for relatively cheap from the PlayStation Store on the [[PlayStation 3]] (which is backwards compatible) and [[PlayStation Vita]]. #The PS One model [[PS One LCD Screen Attachment|has a screen add-on]], which adds more portability and saves you from having to buy a TV. #Unlike the other controllers, which had their buttons called either by numbers ('''1, 2, 3, 4,''') or letters ('''A, B, C, D, X, Y''' & '''Z'''), the PlayStation's Dualshock controller uses geometric shapes ('''Δ, O, X''', & '''ロ'''), a format that's unique and exclusive to the PlayStation consoles even today. #PS1 games use black CD-ROMs, which is a good and easy way to tell if a PS1 disc is real or pirated. #Due to PS1 discs being CDs, you can insert the disc in any CD player and listen to the soundtrack normally.
