Quark Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 Oh man, the nostalgia HURTS because of this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBUYtZhiUU4&feature=related I know PS2 and I'm assuming PS3 (don't own it) still have the black screen when you play a game. But they don't have the BRRRRROOOOOOOOOSSSSHMMMMMMM sound that the PS1 used to make. It was so unexpected loud! Perhaps that's why they got rid of it! I'm highly considering making the dial-up handshake my ring-tone. It's currently Keyboard Cat, I think it's time for something new. And by new I mean old. Quote
CAV of Gang Green Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBUYtZhiUU4&feature=related You just brought tears to my eyes. I LOVE that sound!!!! It brings back so many god-dang memories of Crash Bandicoot, Spyro and Gran Turismo. I would kill for my PS1 back! Quote
Wembly Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 Haha, I never had a PS1 but that sound reminds me of the beginning of the old movies. Quote
seuzy13 Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 You just brought tears to my eyes. I LOVE that sound!!!! It brings back so many god-dang memories of Crash Bandicoot, Spyro and Gran Turismo. I would kill for my PS1 back! I still have my PSOne and enjoy hearing that sound when I play my old games. I have fond memories of leaving the television on too loud and being scared silly when I went to turn the PSOne on. It was my first gaming console. Ah. Good times. The Spyro series was hands down my favorite. :) Quote
Tyler. Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 the PS1 is the 2nd best 64 bit console, and one of the best ever Quote
CAV of Gang Green Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 Let me guess Tyler. The best 64 bit console to you is N64. It isn't to me. I still have my PSOne and enjoy hearing that sound when I play my old games. I have fond memories of leaving the television on too loud and being scared silly when I went to turn the PSOne on. It was my first gaming console. Ah. Good times. The Spyro series was hands down my favorite. :) Same here. I loved the Sega Genesis, and it hosts the first games I ever played. But if it wasn't for the PS1, I never would've love gaming the way I do now. Spyro, Crash, and Gran Turismo. I loved turning on the games and seeing this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQxJVnv5yY8 and Spyro here. The reason I linked Spyro instead of placing the video here is because I can't place more than 2 videos in one post. Quote
Tyler. Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 you guessed right CAV :P oh and then there's dreamcast, why must the 90s be so amazing? Quote
CAV of Gang Green Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 Unfortunately, I never got to play Dreamcast. My parents didn't get it for me. But I was more than happy with the Genesis, NES, SNES, N64, and PS1 that happened to be around when I first developed memories. Quote
Wembly Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 My uncle had a dreamcast. It never really seemed to be that exciting to me though. He eventually traded it in because he didn't like it either. Quote
IrishLiz Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 I was jealous of my friend's brother because he had a dreamcast. Then we played it and it wasn't that exciting, except he had this arcade game called crazy taxi that I love (it later came out on GameCube, so I have it. :)) N64 is just plain awesome. I never had a playstation. Sega Genesis brings more nostalgia for me that PS, mostly playing Sonic and Aladdin on my cousin's Genesis. I only own the Nintendo systems. And we're nostalgic about the 90s because that's when we grew up (at least a good number of people having this conversation). Oh and you left out geocities when you mentioned angelfire, etc. Lots and lots of geocities. Oh man and arguing over the phone vs. the internet... being online and then you grandma complains because she's been trying to call for the last hour/two hours/whatever! Quote
The Score in Blue Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 Good old game consoles. I've never really had a console, my first handheld was a NDS Lite. I love the startup sounds of old game consoles though. Quote
Spritzie Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 Oh and you left out geocities when you mentioned angelfire, etc. Lots and lots of geocities. I was thinking the same thing. The site I ran when I was 15 or so, was on Geocities. Is that even around anymore? Quote
IrishLiz Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 I don't think so. I've found some geocities sites when I've done google searches, but none of them work, so it may be gone. Ah, bright colors and ad banners and backgrounds where you can hardly read anything... actually, it's not that different from some user shops on neopets! o_O Quote
Wembly Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 Haha, I don't even know. It probably is but all the sites probably fell into disrepair or no one uses them because they seemed to run quite slowly. Quote
IrishLiz Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 yay for wikipedia! It's only available in Japan now. Quote
rugrat0ne Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 Oh, I used to have a geocities site! It was a site for my Neopets guild, back before they cracked down on outside links. Quote

I never had a playstation. Sega Genesis brings more nostalgia for me that PS, mostly playing Sonic and Aladdin on my cousin's Genesis. I only own the Nintendo systems. I LOVE Crazy Taxi. I got goosebumps when I heard it was being released on XBLA. But people have been saying that it's bad. I have the demo, and it's exactly like the original. I had an N64, but I only had 3 games for it: Pokemon Stadium 2, Star Wars Pod Racing, and some racing game that I forgot about. I loved my PS1 far too much to care about the N64. Genesis had Sonic the Hedgehog, the first game I ever played, but PS1 made the game addict you all know as CAV. Quote
Spritzie Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 I'd totally forgotten about them. I wonder why Geocities is still available in Japan. Quote
CAV of Gang Green Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 I just checked Amazon. An unused PS1 is going for $500 USD. A used one is going for $15, but something tells me that at that price, it's broken. Spyro 1 is $99 new. Spyro 2 is $35. Spyro 3 is $69. Crash 1 is $87. Crash 2 is $60. Crash 3 is $40. Gran Turismo 1 is $46. Gran Turismo 2 is $35. Quote
IrishLiz Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 Hm. Somehow, all that seems way too expensive to me. (Minus the $15 used console). I think my old neopets guild had a geocities site. Do you think it's popular in Japan? Quote
Spritzie Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 It must be, for them to keep it there. Unless there's some other reason it's only available there. Quote
livvy Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 *bites nails* My interview is in less than an hour. Spritzie, I'm so nervous. :( Quote
Spritzie Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 Awww. *hugs* You'll do great. I'm sure as soon as it gets started, you'll relax. Quote
livvy Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 *hugs back* You're probably right. I'm sure once it starts, I'll be fine. ^^ Quote
Spritzie Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 Exactly. And the longer it goes on, the more comfortable you'll be. You're probably nervous because you don't know what to expect. Quote
