1.
The welcoming sound that accompanied the intro screen.
2.
Running out of space on your memory card and having to choose which save file to sacrifice.
3.
Or going to the extreme by leaving the Playstation on overnight until you completed the game.
4.
Learning how to drive on games like Grand Theft Auto, Driver, and even Crash Team Racing.
5.
The excitement of getting a multitap before finding out that most games you owned were only 1-2 player compatible.
6.
A friend having the nerve to come to your house and select your character.
7.
Feeling no guilt as your friend was forced to play on the crappy spare controller you had reserved for player two.
8.
Having that one friend who got a Dreamcast and insisted it was better than a Playstation.
9.
Storing all of your games in the official CD case that came with your console.
10.
Because it's a scientific fact that Playstation CD cases are the least crack-resistant objects known to exist.
11.
Fixing your Playstation by turning it upside down when it stopped working.
12.
Getting the dreaded message that there was an error with your memory card and resorting to the old-fashioned blowing fix.
13.
Or failing that, giving it a little jiggle.
14.
Playing the living hell out of all the games on the demo that came with the console.
15.
But mostly Point Blank, without a gun attachment controller.
16.
The controller getting awkwardly tangled to the point where you were forced to sit inches away from the console.
17.
And finally, feeling like a complete badass in front of your friends when sharing a new cheat code you found in the back of a Playstation magazine.
