OVER ONE HUNDRED MILLION systems sold. Over one billion pieces of software 

sold. The Sony Playstation is the single most successful home videogame system ever 

released, dominating in the USA, Japan and Europe. In 1998, the Playstation alone was 

responsible for forty percent of the profits at Sony, one of the world’s largest companies. 

Lara Croft, Crash Bandicoot and Cloud Strife have joined Sonic the Hedgehog and Mario 

in the public consciousness. 

This book is directed toward fans of Kutaragi’s grey box. We’ve provided information on 

every American release and interviewed some of the creators of the Playstation’s best 

games. But the data would be meaningless without the tales that made it possible. Here is 

the story of how an eccentric Tokyo-born engineer succeeded in his dream of bringing 3D 

games to the masses. 

Born the son of a poor tradesman in August 1950, Ken Kutaragi began working at Sony in 

1975, hoping to use the knowledge he would gain at Sony in order to start his own electronics 

firm. Reiji Asakura, author of Revolutionaries at Sony, notes that Kutaragi’s middle-class 

background and business-minded father led him to value hard work and business-world 

realities in addition to simple engineering research. Despite Kutaragi’s rebellious 

individualism, his success at Sony would be ensured by continuous creativity and a pinpoint 

focus on results. 

Before his work on the Playstation, Kutaragi was already acclaimed as a star engineer for 

work on projects ranging from LCD projectors and floppy disks to digital audio processing. 

In 1984, he attended a presentation at Sony’s Information Processing Research Center 

where a new 3D texture mapping computer called System Gazo (“image” in Japanese), or 

System G, was being displayed. Kutaragi was inspired by his belief that, just as Famicom 

(the Japanese name of Nintendo’s NES) was dominating Sony’s MSX computer with its 

graphical superiority in the mid-1980s, System G technology would dominate the videogame 

industry as the price of the hardware dropped. The quality of graphics on System G is 

quite similar to that on the Playstation. 

Kutaragi also had tremendous foresight in his belief that the videogame market would 

become important for consumer electronics companies. Videogames were often dismissed 

as toys for children when Kutaragi began pressing Sony’s management to develop a high-

Images of a prototype Play Station. 

This unreleased system was 

developed by Sony in 1991. The 

bottom connection plugs into a 

Super Nintendo - in this case, the 

rounded port of a Japanese Super 

Famicom. A Super Nintendo 

cartridge port and CD drive are 

located on top. Several prototype 

CD-ROM games were completed 

and playable on this system. 

The controller is a prototype controller 

for the standalone Japanese 

Playstation. Sony America hired 

Jay Smith, the designer of the 

Vectrex system, to create an alternate 

American prototype controller. 

Sony Japan eventually decided to 

accept the enormously successful 

and oft-copied three-dimensional 

pad designed by Teiyu Gotoh. 

Though Kutaragi was skeptical 

of launching the Playstation with 

a controller so different from that 

of the Famicom and other wellknown 

systems, Sony President 

Norio Ohgo insisted on its release. 

Fact: The name “Playstation” 

came from the concept that a computer

play should be a Playstation. 

tech videogame system in 1986. By 1990, Nintendo’s worldwide dominance led to profits 

for the 850-person company that were much higher than those at Sony, with 50,000 

employees. Even in 1990, this data made videogames impossible to dismiss as merely a 

children’s fad. Today, the worldwide console videogame market is worth over 30 billion 

dollars, and is known for exceptionally high profit potential because of high entry barriers. 

Though Sony’s leadership was reluctant to become involved in a videogame industry they 

didn’t fully understand, they agreed to initiate a joint project with Nintendo that would 

combine Sony’s technological expertise in CD technology with Nintendo’s market power 

and brand recognition. 

The Amiga CDTV and Philips CDi inaugurated the digital videogame era in the early 

1990s, but both flopped commercially because of a weak software base and enormously 

high price tags. Computer-industry columnist John Dvorak echoed a common sentiment 

when he wrote in late 1991 that Nintendo’s entry into the CD game market would 

dramatically increase CD game popularity. “[Toshiba, Sony and Hitachi] seem to think that 

Nintendo can effortlessly” succeed with CD-ROM games, Dvorak wrote. “If that’s the 

case, why doesn’t someone just hire the Nintendo marketing genius?” 

Indeed, that plan was exactly what Sony had intended. After developing the CDROM/XA 

standard with Dutch electronics firm Philips in the mid-1980s, Sony signed a deal in 1988 

with Nintendo to develop a CDROM add-on to the Famicom and Super Famicom for 

release in 1990. Sony was given complete control over the sale and licensing of games on 

CDROM, called Super Discs, and would also develop a system called the Play Station 

which would play both SNES games and Sony CD games. As Sony finished preparation of 

the Play Station in 1991, Nintendo began to realize the importance of the CD game market 

and how much they had given away with their 1988 agreement; Hiroshi Yamauchi, Nintendo’s 

President, secretly initiated contact with Philips and began developing a deal whereby Philips, 

rather than Sony, would develop the SNES CD add-on with more favorable terms for 

Nintendo. Nintendo also planned development of software for the Philips CDi format. 

David Sheff quotes an industry consultant in his Nintendo history, Game Over, arguing 

“Sony had Nintendo by the balls. The Philips deal was meant to…give Nintendo back its 

stranglehold on software and gracefully fuck Sony.” 

The setting for Nintendo’s betrayal was not a Wild West saloon, but the 1991 Consumer 

Electronics Show (CES) in Chicago. On May 29, 1991, Kutaragi and Sony PR head Nobuyuki 

Idei received word of the Nintendo-Philips deal. With foreknowledge of the Nintendo- 

Philips deal, Sony nonetheless continued as planned with their unveiling of the Play Station, 

capable of playing both SNES and CD-ROM titles, on June 1 in Chicago. On June 2, 

reporters at Nintendo’s press conference were astounded to hear that Philips, not Sony, 

would develop the SNES CD. Norio Ohga and Sony’s US head of electronic publishing, 

Olaf Olafsson, were enraged. Nintendo had not only “stabbed [Sony] in the back,” in 

Olafsson’s words, but had violated Japanese business etiquette by shunning a dominant 

Japanese company in exchange for a foreign one. 

Both sides, however, had too much to lose if a long-standing feud broke out. Sony was the 

supplier of the audio chip for the Super Nintendo, and Nintendo could not afford to lose

this critical supplier. Sony was also planning to port games to the Super Nintendo, as well 

as release a system that played SNES cartridges. Although Sony retaliated by inking a deal 

with Nintendo’s arch-rival Sega to develop games for the Sega CD using Sony’s film 

properties, Sony and Nintendo’s relationship did not disappear entirely; in October 1992, 

the two signed a deal to develop a compatible Sony-Nintendo CD-ROM standard, with 

Nintendo receiving licensing rights from games, and Sony licensing rights from non-games 

such as educational software. This Nintendo-compatible prototype would never be released. 

Kutaragi had convinced Sony’s Japanese leadership in June 1992 that a better option existed 

than alliance with Nintendo. He was convinced that a true 3D system, well beyond the 

technology proposed by competitors such as Trip Hawkins’s 3DO, would allow Sony to 

lead the 3D era just as Nintendo had led the 2D era. Despite the negotiations with Nintendo, 

Sony was secretly developing this 3D system. Realizing that the contract for a Nintendo- 

Sony CD standard left Sony with few opportunities for profit, and further realizing that 

Kutaragi’s team was developing a better system, Sony cancelled the SNES/CD-ROM Play 

Station project. Sony America CEO Steve Race noted “Since the deal with Nintendo 

didn’t come to fruition, we decided to put games on a back burner…[T]he gaming industry 

has a seven-year life cycle, so we bided our time until we could get in on the next cycle.” 

With the rest of industry unaware, Kutaragi continued development of Sony’s own CDbased 

3D system, which continued to be called the Playstation. 

As Kutaragi’s team continued developing the internals, Sony tapped Teruhisa Tokunaka, a 

longtime employee at Sony Japan headquarters, to develop the Playstation business plan in 

1993. Tokunaka understood that, given that poor quality of games released by Epic Sony 

Japan and Sony Interactive Studios America during the 16-bit era, enticing third-party 

developers to work on the Playstation was essential. In Japan, this required not only highquality 

hardware and an attractive pricing scheme, but also a novel distribution system. 

Nintendo dominated a videogame distribution network called the Shoshinkai, and entry 

into this network for a new hardware company was quite difficult. Sony already owned CD 

manufacturing and distribution facilities in the US, Europe and Japan, however; this cheap 

format allowed Sony to sidestep the Shoshinkai and distribute games with much shorter 

lag time and much lower licensing fees than Nintendo or Sega were able to offer. 

The early 1990s are littered with failed videogames platforms – Jaguar, Sega CD, CDi, 3DO 

– suffering from a common plague: low third-party software support. Atari in the early 

1980s and Nintendo in the 80s and 90s are the only console developers that have had 

strong enough first-party software to sell a system. Sony Imagesoft in the US and Epic 

Sony in Japan were notorious for their dismal titles, most of which were simply adaptations 

of Sony films done in whatever genre was popular at the moment. Tokunaka realized that 

Hudson Hawk, Cliffhanger and ESPN Sunday Night NFL were not going to be enough to 

sell the Playstation. 

The timing of the Playstation, however, was perfect. 1994, the year the Playstation launched, 

marks the division between the 2D and the 3D eras. Cyan’s Myst was released for the 

Macintosh, giving players a taste of the graphics they could expect in the future. John 

Carmack’s id Software began work on Quake. In Japan, Virtua Fighter was a smash hit in 


Sony President Norio Ohga once 

insisted that Playstation discs 

have some sort of protective 

covering, similar to Minidiscs, so 

that they could not be scratched. 

Playstation mastermind Ken 

Kutaragi protested, arguing that 

one of the main benefits of the 

CD format is that a quick-selling 

title can be reprinted at any CD 

manufacturing plant, whereas 

protected CDs would require 

special plants. Those collectors 

who tire of finding scratched 

Playstation games rue the day 

that Kutaragi won this argument.

the arcades, and helped convince developers that 3D games were both possible and financially 

lucrative. The polygon capabilities of the Playstation, as well as lenient content regulations 

compared to Nintendo and an extensive software library to ease the 3D learning curve, 

enticed third-party developers. Unhappiness with Nintendo and their stifling control of 

the industry pushed Squaresoft and Enix, among others, into Sony’s camp. 

While developers liked the power inside the box, what of the case and controller? These 

are the work of Teiyu Gotoh at Sony Japan’s Corporate Design Center, who had become 

famous for his work on the Sony Vaio PC. The console is distinguishable by its “gray with 

a slight tinge of purple” color, in Gotoh’s words, and its three circles representing the shift 

from cartridges to CD: disc drive, power and reset. The controller, however, was the true 

innovation. Gotoh’s 3-dimensional gem replaced the planar, two-dimensional concept that 

had dominated videogame controllers since the launch of the Famicom. The two handles 

were not gripped, but rather rested gracefully in the palms of the player. The Dual Shock 

variation, with two analog sticks and force feedback built in, is so natural that Microsoft, 

Sega, Sony and Nintendo all chose similar designs for their latest systems. 

Launch was set in Japan for December, 3, 1994, one month after Sega launched the Saturn. 

To counter Sega’s home port of Virtua Fighter, Sony launched with a near-perfect arcade 

port of Namco’s Ridge Racer. The initial run of 100,000 units sold out within days, and by 

May 1995, both Sega and Sony had sold one million units. The two remained neck-in-neck 

in Japan leading up to the respective US launches. 

The Los Angeles E3 Convention in May 1995 presented two surprises. Sega garnered all 

the early press by announcing an early launch, telling the crowd that instead of launching 

the Saturn in the fall, units were already on the way to select stores. Sony trumped Sega 

with a single message: $299. The early CD-based consoles were doomed by high prices, 

such as the $700 commanded by the 3DO. The Saturn cost $399, and was doomed from 

the start because of the “backdoor launch” which infuriated retailers not among the select 

few to receive the early units. Playstation total sales overtook Saturn soon after Sony’s 

September 9, 1995 launch date in the US. Sony launched successfully in Europe later in the 

same month. Early software was a hit in both territories: an exclusive 32-bit version of 

Mortal Kombat 3, Namco’s beautiful Ridge Racer, the first true 3D fighter in Battle Arena 

Toshinden and Psygnosis’ rave-infused WipEout were all massive sellers. At the end of 

1995, dozens of titles were available in the US and Europe, and over 200 developers were 

working on Playstation games. 

By the end of 1996, Sega’s Saturn was being humbled by Sony in both the US and Europe, 

as Sega’s focus on arcade ports limited mainstream appeal and slowed sales. Sony’s next 

battled loomed with Nintendo, the company that had ruled the videogame roost since the 

mid-1980s. Despite early sales driven by Miyamoto’s brilliant Super Mario 64, a very slow 

software release schedule and the high price of cartridges cursed Nintendo. Squaresoft’s 

Final Fantasy VII alone, with its breathtaking FMV and music and ubiquitous 1997 

advertising campaign, was nearly enough to better Nintendo in all three territories. As 

Sony continued to lock up exclusive releases of major titles – Tomb Raider, Metal Gear 

Solid, Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy – their dominance of the 32-bit generation was assured.

In 1994, Sony was just a consumer electronics firm with a pitiful game development studio 

and almost no experience in game hardware. Six years later, journalist Steven Poole echoed 

tens of millions when he wrote that “the after-hours Playstation session is one of the joys 

of modern life.” But what, in retrospect, made the company so successful? Two reasons 

explain the bulk of Sony’s success: adult gamers and quick price reductions. 

First, Sony aimed the console at the eighteen to twenty-five year old market; they created a 

Playstation room at London’s Ministry of Sound, distributed leaflets at the Glastonbury 

rock festival and sponsored the 1995 MTV Video Music Awards. Realizing that kids who 

had grown up with an NES were still interested in videogames, Sony sought out developers 

who could reach this demographic. Genres like survival horror, rhythm, rally racing and 

extreme sports all were popularized by the Playstation. Borders were crossed not simply 

with gore and sex, but with issues such as religion (Xenogears) and homosexuality (Fear 

Effect). Games like Parappa the Rapper, Hot Shots Golf, and Ape Escape appealed to the 

mainstream and introduced new players to the world of videogames. 

Second, Playstation software was much cheaper than cartridge software. A number of 

Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis titles sold for more than seventy dollars. Playstation 

games not only launched cheaply – sixty bucks was as high as the games were ever priced – 

but also went down in price quickly. Japan’s Playstation’s Best program was brought to the 

US as Greatest Hits, allowing Playstation owners to buy the best-selling games on the 

system for $20. It is no surprise that developers were eager to create games for a system 

with a staggering software-to-hardware ratio that topped 9:1. 

It is difficult to think of a genre for which the Playstation did not have top-flight title. Alltime 

classics such as Metal Gear Solid, Gran Turismo, Resident Evil 2 and Tomb Raider sit 

alongside niche successes like Parappa the Rapper, Devil Dice and Incredible Crisis. Those 

games are the focus of this book. Inside, you’ll find collector data that is the result of three 

years of market research, as well as tributes to the best and most interesting games on the 

system. Toward the end of the text are the databases, where you can look up, for instance, 

a list of all the Boxing titles or a list of all the titles published by Eidos. Sony’s Playstation 

empire, including the Playstation2 and Playstation Portable, continues to set the standard 

for modern videogames – this book is the guide to how the empire began. 


The Systems 

THE ORIGINAL 

THIS LIGHT GRAY BOX IS THE MACHINE used by 

nearly all gamers during the reign of the Sony Playstation. 

Two controller ports and memory card ports form the front 

of the system. On top, the words “Power” and “Open” 

frame the CD lid, which is engraved with the tricolor 

Playstation logo. Inside, the LSI Logic-designed Central 

Processing Unit forms the core of the Playstation’s 3D capability. 

This machine, the SCPH-1001 in the US, would 

see a number of variations. 

The first change was the pack-in game. Sony chose to include 

only a demo disc with the Playstation upon its release 

in 1995; this demo disc would be updated frequently. Direct 

AV out was removed in the first hardware change, the 

5501. In an effort to combat piracy, the parallel port on the 

back of the system was removed starting with the SCPH- 

9001. 

The major change to the original model Playstation, however, 

had nothing to do with the console itself. In August 

1997, Sony introduced the Dual Analog Pad. The Dual 

Analog looked like the original Sony controller with extended 

handles and two joysticks plopped down in the middle. The 

analog sticks had inverted tops. This controller, much more 

suitable than the original Playstation pad for 3D games, was 

quickly upgraded to the Dual Shock Pad. Released in May 

1998, along with a “Dual Shock” system bundling the new 

controllers, the Dual Shock Pad took the Dual Analog Pad, 

added rumble capability in both handles, removed the inversion 

on the analog sticks, and slightly shortened the length 

of the handles. Further, two new buttons, L3 and R3, were 

added; rarely used, L3 and R3 were pressed when the player 

“clicked in” the left or right analog stick. 

The larger Playstation was slowly faded out after the 2000 

release of the consolidated PSone. While the original design 

was elegantly and efficiently designed, it has proven to 

have a temperamental laser. It is rare to find a SCPH-1001 

that does not have problems reading discs on occasion. For 

this reason, the PSone is preferred by most serious 

videogamers. 

The Systems [016 | 017]

THE PsONE 

RELEASED FOR $99 IN SEPTEMBER 2000, just before 

the release of the Playstation2, the PSone (SCPH-101) consolidated 

the Playstation into a tiny package. Bright white 

and formed with generous curves, the PSone takes a less 

intimidating pose. The “Power” and “Open” buttons were 

replaced with pastel-colored symbols. Both the parallel port 

and the serial port, which enabled two Playstations to be 

connected for multiplayer action on two separate TVs, were 

removed. 

The PSone was also meant as a semi-portable system. A 

battery pack and numerous LCD screens, including an official 

5” Sony screen, were available for on-the-go 

gameplaying. An in-car PSone was common in modified, 

high-end cars; notably, a street racer in the movie “Fast and 

the Furious” can be seen playing Gran Turismo in his car 

before a race. 

THE NET YAROZE 

THE NET YAROZE (SCPH-3001), released in 1997 for 

$800, is among the most interesting videogame items ever 

released by a console manufacturer. Essentially, the Net 

Yaroze allowed users to write their own videogames for the 

Sony platform. Bestseller Devil Dice and numerous 

minigames included on Playstation demo CDs were created 

on the system. 

The Yaroze is a distinctive black, and has a textured feel 

similar to that of the 10 Million Model. It has no region 

protection, so non-US games can be played on the system 

without problems, although copy protection is still in place, 

so CD-r’s cannot be played on unmodified Yarozes. The 

system package includes the system, a special memory card, 

a black controller, a serial port dongle connecting the system 

to a PC, basic development software, and a set of massive 

development books. Potential buyers should be aware 

that the black memory card is critical – without it, the Yaroze 

cannot be used at all. 

Though Yaroze derives from the Japanese for “Let’s work 

together,” poor developer support eventually killed the system. 

Many felt that capabilities of Yaroze development 

software and support was limited because Sony was reluctant 

to see professional developers shift from expensive Sony 

development systems to the Yaroze. Today, a Yaroze with 

full documentation can be purchased for $300-$400 online.

THE 10 MILLION MODEL 

UNQUESTIONABLY THE RAREST Playstation system, 

the 10 Million Model (SCPH-7001) was given away as a contest 

prize in 1998 to commemorate the sale of the ten millionth 

Playstation. In theory, 100 were given away, but a 

source at Sony claims that “dozens” of the systems are still 

at Sony HQ, never claimed. Only five systems are accounted 

for in the wild. The price this machine commands is rather 

incredible: two systems changed hands in the past year, the 

first for $1300 and the second for $1500. 

The system itself, and its matching controller, are navy blue 

and have a feel quite unlike any other Playstation. The texture 

feels something like satin. A complete 10 Million model 

includes a special dark blue box marked “Not for Resale,” 

the system, a controller, a power cable, an RCA cable, a set 

of documentation and the demo “Interactive Vol. 6.” Winners 

of the Sweepstakes were also sent a letter handsigned 

by a Sony executive congratulating them on their victory. 

Aside from coloring, the system has no extra capabilities. 

Unlike the blue development PSX, the 10 Million Model 

cannot play foreign and CD-r titles. 

THE DEV SYSTEMS 

WHERE DID YOU GET THAT Playstation? Set a blue 

or green development system down in your living room, 

and the question will inevitably arise. Casting off the tepid 

gray of the consumer release, teal and blue systems were 

used by Playstation developers to test early versions of their 

games. The first US model, colored blue (SCPH-1001), is 

the same as the original Japanese debugging system, but the 

S-Video output has been removed. The second model, 

SCPH-1101, requires a special external power supply. Both 

of these systems have a minor graphics output problem, 

showing occasional bands of solid color running across the 

screen. These problems were solved with the third, teal/ 

green dev system, SCPH-1201, which uses the “Rev C” 

graphics chip. 

Debugging systems are relatively easy to acquire today. $75- 

$100 for a blue and $100-$150 for a green US system are 

fair prices. Importers and pirates will find the systems useful, 

as neither has a lockout chip, so CD-r games and foreign 

titles will work without problems. Buyers should ask 

for the serial number, however; a PAL system would be of 

little use in the US.

Ace Combat 2 

Namco | Namco | 1997 | Flight Sim 

Namco’s Ace Combat series is the flight sim equivalent of 

Ridge Racer or Daytona USA. While the game doesn’t possess 

the realism of PC classics like Falcon 4.0, the missionbased 

levels and hair-raising flights through urban areas 

brought 3D flight sims to the mainstream. Ace Combat 2 

is generally considered the best of the Playstation 1 releases. 

Don’t miss the canyon run in Mission 17: Sentinel.

Aquanaut’s Holiday 

Artdink | Sony | 1996 | Simulation 

Certainly one of the stranger titles released for the 

Playstation, Artdink’s Aquanaut’s Holiday has been described 

as a “Zen game.” An underwater world, with hundreds of 

species of fish, ruins and ghost ships, awaits your exploration. 

While there are goals, such as the construction of a 

reef, this game is more about wandering than winning. 

Playstation Game List [022 | 023]

Playstation’s Best 

Ape Escape 

Sony | Sony | 1999 | Action 

THE D-PAD. UP. DOWN. Left. Right. From the early 

days of the console, this was all we were given. Four 

directions were enough for a side-scrolling platformer, and 

sufficed for the occasional Hadoken, but were wholly 

insufficient for the 3D gameworlds we entered in the late 

90s. After the shock of Miyamoto’s masterful Super Mario 

64 opened eyes to the promise of analog control, Sony 

responded with the release of the Dual Shock controller. 

The Dual Shock, with rumble feedback and two analog 

sticks, finally brought the Playstation into the world of 360 

degree control. Ape Escape, developed by Sony Japan and 

released in Summer of 1999, was the first title to fully utilize 

the new controller; indeed, the Dual Shock was required 

just to play the game. 

In Ape Escape, a curious monkey named Spencer gains 

access to a helmet which grants him tremendous intelligence. 

Spencer frees his ape pals and makes plans to travel back in 

time and change historical events in order to ensure that 

apes, not men, are the dominant species on the planet. It is 

up to you to capture the animals before they achieve their 

goal and subjugate mankind. 

Though the story is certainly inventive, it is the control 

scheme that ensures Ape Escape’s place as a classic. The 

left analog stick is used to move your character while the 

right analog stick controls whatever gadget you’re holding. 

Though dual stick controls have a long arcade history – 

Eugene Jarvis’ Robotron 2084 and Sega’s Virtual On series, 

among others, come to mind – single-stick controller design 

constrained home games prior to Ape Escape. 

The primary monkey-catching gameplay makes the game 

worth the price of admission, but the minigames may be 

even more enjoyable. Collecting items in each stage opens 

up a number of minigames, including racing and boxing, all 

executed using the dual analog sticks. Ape Escape was 

created, in part, as a demonstration of the potential of the 

new controller. This goal is unquestionably accomplished; 

Ape Escape stands, along with Mario 64 (analog control), 

NFL2k (the VMU memory card), and Marble Madness (the 

rollerball), among the great hardware-proving games in 

videogame history.

Takara | Sony | 1995 | Fighting - 3D 

Sony’s early competitor, the Sega Saturn, launched with the 

original 3D fighting game, AM2’s Virtua Fighter, forcing 

Sony to respond. The Toshinden series removed Virtua 

Fighter’s rail-based movement, allowing the characters to 

move freely in the 3D environment. Though the mechanics 

and character design offered nothing new, BAT helped 

launch the true 3D fighting revolution.

Bomberman Party Edition is the next best thing to the 10player

series. The single-party game is downright terrible, but 

the multiplayer mode is the best two-dimensional approximation 

of a Doom or Halo deathmatch yet created.

Bushido Blade 

Lightweight | Sony | 1997 | Fighting - 3D 

Developed for Squaresoft in Japan, Bushido Blade takes 

the fighting genre and turns it on its head. Life meters, 

time limits and special moves are all tossed - no Yoga Flames 

in this game. A single swing of the samurai blade can kill 

your opponent. Fighting games are known for their lack of 

innovation; if nothing else, Bushido Blade deserves a play 

for attempting to break the mold.


Castlevania: SotN 

Konami | Konami | 1997 | Action 

THE PLAYSTATION IS SYNONYMOUS with 3D - a 

number of publishers had difficulty getting approval to release 

2D titles – so it comes as a bit of a surprise that one 

of the system’s best-regarded games is as traditionally 2D 

as you can get. The graphics and effects are all quite simple, 

giving the title a distinct retro look. Nonetheless, 10 years 

after the release of the original NES Castlevania in the US, 

Konami’s 1997 bestseller Castlevania: Symphony of the 

Night brought the series’ side-scrolling gameplay into the 

modern era with the addition of role-playing elements and 

a top-notch musical score. 

In earlier entries in the Castlevania series, players controlled 

a member of the whip-cracking, Dracula-hunting Belmount 

family. In Symphony of the Night (or, more commonly, 

SotN), the user guides Alucard, a son of Dracula himself. 

Depending on your mission, Alucard can convert into a 

number of different forms, such as Wolf or Bat. Even 

though SotN allows the player the use of a map, a number 

of secret areas are missing, and the timely use of Alucard’s 

many forms is essential. 

Roleplaying elements are the most distinctive element SotN 

adds to into the Castlevania legacy. Inventory must be managed, 

spells must be learned, and experience must be gained 

by defeating enemies. The process of leveling up is rarely 

tedious, and it forces the player to learn how to kill enemies 

rather than simply avoid them. A number of spells, with 

both local and global effects, can be cast once learned by 

using button combinations familiar to fans of fighting 

games. 

Symphony of the Night used to sell for as much as $40 

before numerous reprints under the Greatest Hits label 

dropped the price to something much more reasonable. In 

Europe, however, the game is still in very heavy demand. 

The regular version of the game routinely sells for $80- 

$100, and a “Limited Edition” including a CD soundtrack 

and miniature artbook is also available. The price for this 

set? As much as $150.

Some alloys are groundbreaking: for instance, one part tin 

plus one part copper gives you bronze. One part Mario 

Kart plus one part Final Fantasy VII, however, combines 

two of the biggest titles of the late 90s to create a mildly 

entertaining kart racer with a story mode tossed on. If 

anything is evidence of the enormous popularity of FFVII, 

it is this strange title.

UEP’s Cool Boarders, alongside the Tony Hawk series, undoubtedly

From the sarcastic announcer to the trick points to the 

crouch-jump button sequence, it’s hard not to see the influence 

of Cool Boarders in modern titles. Cool Boaders 2 

added a more advanced half-pipe and Boardpark. 



Crash Bandicoot Series 

Naughty Dog | Sony | 1996, 1997, 1998 | Action 

ANDY GAVIN AND JASON RUBIN started their first 

game company in 1986 with the noble goal, according to 

Naughty Dog’s corporate bio, of needing “money to buy 

video games and stuff.” After producing a number of lowbudget, 

forgettable Apple II, Genesis and 3DO titles, the 

young teammates signed a long-term deal with Universal in 

1994 and set up a proper development studio. Their system 

of choice? The Sony Playstation. 

Crash Bandicoot was at first glance no different from the 

mascot platformers that nearly every major publisher 

released in the wake of Sega’s Sonic the Hedgehog. After 

the game’s unveiling at E3 1996, however, Crash was quickly 

toasted as Sony’s Mario-killer. Though not truly 3D in the 

sense of Mario 64’s exploration gameplay – Crash’s world 

was bounded by thin paths – Crash nonetheless brought 

platforming into the modern era by moving the camera from 

the characters side to behind its back. The linear paths 

ensure that the action is nonstop. The brilliant, brightlycolored 

graphics didn’t hurt the game’s popularity either. 

But Crash wasn’t successful because it was innovative. It 

was successful because every piece of the game is reduced 

to its most important elements. The game is not plagued 

with tedious jumping or box puzzles, and the control is spoton. 

Particularly in the 2 nd and 3 rd installments of the series, 

varied gameplay means the game is more than simply spin, 

run, jump. The game is evolutionary, not revolutionary. 

And despite Sony and Naughty Dog’s claims to the contrary, 

PS-exclusive Crash did represent something of a mascot in 

the face of Mario and Sonic. 

This tight gameplay allows Crash to accomplish a task no 

other American developer had accomplished: cracking the 

Japanese market. All three Crash platformers and Crash 

Team Racing made “Playstation the Best,” a status equivalent 

to Greatest Hits. To this day, Naughty Dog remain among 

an elite few American developers to succeed in Japan. 

Compare: Grand Theft Auto: Vice City sold over 6 million 

in the US, but less than half a million in Japan. 2-million 

seller SOCOM couldn’t even move 50,000 across the Pacific. 

Gavin and Rubin’s secret? Universal fun.

Reflections | Infogrames | 2000 | Racing 

The open-endedness and multiple gameplay styles of Driver 

2 reminds one of Grand Theft Auto 3 and its progeny. A 

mission-oriented game that let you jump out of your car, 

dodging the cops as you hunt for a new getaway vehicle? 

Great stuff. 



Dance Dance Revolution 

Konami Tokyo | Konami | 2001 | Music 

MANY SYSTEMS HAVE A MUST-OWN import. Saturn 

owners pay big for Radiant Silvergun. SNES fans talk glowingly 

about Seiken Densetsu 3. From 1999 until Spring 

2001, when Konami finally brought the game to American 

shores, the import on every Playstation owner’s lips was 

Dance Dance Revolution. 

Dance Dance Revolution (DDR) was born from Konami 

Tokyo’s Bemani, the series that popularized the music genre. 

In each Bemani title, keys would rise to the top of the screen, 

calling on the player to spin the turntable (Beatmania), beat 

the bass drum (Drum Mania) or strum the guitar (Guitar 

Freaks), among many other variations. DDR is the most 

flamboyant title in this series – a dance pad is used as a 

controller and the player must “dance” on each arrow in 

tune with the beat. In the arcade, play takes two forms. In 

one, perfect accuracy in timing and step location is the goal; 

in the other, crowd-pleasing dance routines, called freestyles, 

are performed while the player simultaneously taps the arrows 

accurately enough to stay alive. 

Arcade DDR never failed to draw a crowd, and the home 

version replicated this feat in its role as a perfect party game. 

DDR and its novel “controller” attracted many who were 

reluctant to play more traditional videogames, including 

many women. The Europop songs in the game, 30 in all, 

were enough to release anyone’s inhibitions. The first American 

Dance Dance Revolution was quickly followed by Dance 

Dance Revolution: Disney’s Rave, which set Disney tracks 

like “It’s a Small World” to an electronic beat, and Dance 

Dance Revolution: Konamix, another collection of DDR 

Europop. As the legion of DDR players continued to grow 

(Konamix sold enough to make Greatest Hits status), thirdparty 

accessories began to appear, the crown jewel being 

the $200 Red Octane Afterburner dance pad. 

Beyond performance, DDR brought another new concept 

to videogames – exercise. At the height of the DDR craze, 

numerous reports appeared about “DDR diets” and schoolchildren 

assigned to play DDR during their gym classes. 

The game even includes a built-in calorie counter. Who 

said videogames were bad for you?

Though short, as all shooters are, Einhander is the best of 

the genre to appear in the late 90s - while other releases 

drew in fans with nostalgia, Einhander drew them in with 

beauty.

It would be an understatement to call Kronos’s Hong Kong

and eery neon to the previously static backgrounds of Resident 

Evil. The cel rendering marks Fear Effect as among 

the first to use the new graphics technique. And then there 

was the nudity: showering ladies in a videogame? What

Squaresoft | Squaresoft | 1998 | RPG 

There is good reason that this strategy RPG has become 

one of the Playstation-era’s most fondly remembered games: 

great graphics, a surprise-filled plot, the job system, a 

hummable soundtrack and a deep battle system. Tactics 

also has one of the most infamously cringe-worthy translations 

of the Playstation era: I got a good feeling! 




Squaresoft | Sony | 1997 | RPG 

THERE CAN BE NO DOUBT ABOUT IT: Final Fantasy 

VII made RPG videogames popular in America. 

The RPG genre had always been popular in Japan; at one 

point, Japan’s government asked Enix not to release Dragon 

Quest games on weekdays because too many schoolkids 

would cut class in order to be the first to buy the title. And 

in the US, too, they’d always had their fans. Early PC games 

such as Richard Garriott’s Ultima series had a loyal following, 

as did 8 and 16-bit titles including the original Final 

Fantasy, Shining Force and Secret of Mana. Sales of these 

games, though, were restricted to hardcore RPG fans. None 

became mainstream blockbusters. 

After selling 2.5 million copies in the US alone, it’s safe to 

say that Final Fantasy VII reached the mainstream. Dozens 

of RPGs would follow in its wake onto the Playstation. 

How did Squaresoft do it? 

FFVII’s first commercials provide a clue. Widely broadcast 

in 1997, the ads showed clip after clip of computer generated 

cutscenes. The graphical quality was far more advanced 

than anything gamers had seen before, making the game an 

instant must-own in the eyes of many casual gamers. Ingame, 

prerendered backgrounds allowed for environmental 

graphics that also impressed with their detail. The characters, 

in full 3D, showed personality. Cloud with his gigantic 

sword and spiky yellow ‘do, and Barret with his bionic, 

machine-gun arm, among others, marched on a seemingly 

endless journey. Gamers unfamiliar with RPGs were amazed 

to find a game with 50 or 60 hours of gameplay, hundreds 

of different enemies and spells, as well as countless side 

missions and minigames. Nobuo Uematsu’s musical score, 

with dozens of tracks, was regarded as masterful. Though 

the story is in fact very linear, an open map after the Shinra 

opening gave players the illusion of control. Reviewers 

universally gave the game top marks. 

The game, massive in scope, was the perfect introduction 

for Americans to the RPG. It combined state-of-the-art 

graphics, an accessible story and a level of difficulty low 

enough for the casual gamer to enjoy.

Grandia 

Game Arts | Sony | 1999 | RPG 

Game Arts, known for their Lunar series on the Sega CD, 

released Grandia in December 1997 for the Sega Saturn in 

Japan, hoping for the success that Squaresoft had garnered 

with Final Fantasy VII. Although Grandia was much less 

successful at the cash register, the title was widely praised 

for its lighthearted story and top-notch graphics.


Gran Turismo Series 

Polyphony Digital | Sony | 1998, 1999 | Racing 

POLYPHONY DIGITAL’S GRAN TURISMO series redefined 

the racing genre, topped the bestseller list in the 

US, Japan and Europe, put Sony’s internal development 

teams on the map, and wowed players everywhere with its 

seemingly-impossible graphical prowess. Producer 

Kazunori Yamauchi went from being a minor developer 

known for nothing greater than his work on Motor Toon Grand 

Prix to a renowned genius oft-photographed racing Japan’s 

circuits in wildly exotic sports cars. The Gran Turismo series 

continued to be a system-seller in the Playstation2 era. 

Gran Turismo’s success derives both from her depth and 

her breadth. Over 500 cars were licensed for Gran Turismo 

2, offering players a change to race in a Shelby, a Corvette 

or a Mercedes-Benz. Though now commonplace, licensed 

cars in racing games were uncommon when Gran Turismo 

was first released. The sheer number of licensed cars in the 

two PS1 titles ensure that the games holds interest even 

today. The vehicle selection was not merely a list of nearidentical 

variations; rally racers, European exotics, classic 

muscle cars and modern minivans all competed for the 

player’s driving gloves. As for depth, Gran Turismo’s Simulation 

Mode allowed players to customize their cars to a 

level beyond any of the game’s contemporaries such as 

Daytona USA and The Need for Speed. 

The novel physics in the GT series astounded players. The 

powersliding, gravity-defying arcade model, evident in Ridge 

Racer on the PS1 but existant since Sega’s classic Outrun 

(or perhaps Pole Position before it), went out the window. 

The cars in Gran Turismo gripped the road, warning players 

that the Square button, the brake, must actually be used 

in order to complete the race with a winning time. Frontwheel 

and rear-wheel drive were not simply listings in a 

menu, but rather attributed with distinct positive and negative 

effects, as in real life. 

Lest we forget the games’ true selling point, though: the 

beauty. The replays in Gran Turismo 2 were the closest 

approximation of photorealism achieved on the Playstation. 

Grand, indeed.

Amazing Studio | Interplay | 1998 | Action 

In production for five years, France’s Heart of Darkness 

was once hailed as the future of videogames. The Toy Storyquality 

cutscenes, great voice acting, and orchestral music 

caused a scene at E3 1995 when movie/game convergence 

was seen as the next wave. Unfortunately, the gameplay is 

nothing more than a standard set of trial-and-error puzzles.

Jet Moto 

SingleTrac | Sony | 1996 | Racing 

SingleTrac was Sony’s most important developer in the early 

days of the Playstation; Warhawk, Twisted Metal and Jet 

Moto all came from their studio. The jetski/hovercraft vehicles 

in Jet Moto handle beautifully, and the course design 

is often brilliant with levels spanning jungles, rivers, glaciers 

and litter-strewn beaches. 




Clap Hanz | Sony | 2000 | Sports - Golf 

IT’S ORIGINAL JAPANESE TITLE is perhaps more fitting: 

Minna no Golf, meaning Everybody’s Golf. Golf games 

had long been bestsellers, especially the Links series for PC 

and Mac. But Links and its ilk were the sort of game given 

as a gift to retirees in order to entice them to use their new 

computers. Graphics took forever to render, and while the 

games were harmless, they lacked color, excitement, flair. 

Japanese developer Camelot’s Hot Shots Golf finally introduced 

flair to golf videogames, and was rewarded by massive 

worldwide sales and acclaim. Hot Shots had cartoonstyle 

characters, a points system that unlocked secrets, and 

simple controls. There was no pretentiousness, no replicas 

of real life courses, no long waits for prerendered trees to 

finish being drawn. Characters smiled, jumped, pumped 

their fists and celebrated the rare perfect shot. Camelot 

was not a sports game developer; before Hot Shots, the 

company was best known for its work on Shining Force III, 

the Sega Saturn entry in the renowned strategy RPG series. 

Golf, done properly, is perfect for videogames. Most games 

use some type of three click or trackball method of striking 

the ball, so novice gamers and the occasional Dad can easily 

join in a game. A nine-hole match can be played in a 

relaxing half-hour; no forty-hour story arcs must be finished. 

Peter Jacobsen’s Golden Tee Golf showed how popular 

golf games could be when it was a barroom smash in 

the late 90s, but that game wasn’t released on console until 

2000. Camelot’s series seized the open opportunity, selling 

almost two million copies of the first Hot Shots in Japan 

alone. 

Sports games “for everybody” have continued to grow in 

popularity in the wake of Hot Shots. EA released 

CyberTiger, a golf game with Power Up balls and a big 

headed Tiger Woods on the cover. Sega’s Virtua Tennis 

was among the best selling, and most loved, titles released 

for the short-lived Dreamcast. Outlaw Golf on the 

Playstation2 even brought in the Jeff Foxworthy crowd. Hot 

Shots was the first, however, to prove that simple, old-school 

gameplay remains an unbeatable combination in any genre.

Jumping Flash series 

Exact | Sony | 1995, 1996 | Action 

You control a giant mechanical rabbit (named Robbit, of 

course) in the Jumping Flash series, two games which truly 

are platformers. Accurate jumps between platforms, especially 

after the addition of the Jump Meter in the sequel, are 

essential. Both games are fun, goreless, shoot-em-ups with 

a terribly addictive musical score.

beautiful classic 2D sprite character art. More than an hour

for Working Designs titles, the oft-delayed game came with 

a bundle of goodies including a Making Of disc.

Micro Machines V3 

Codemasters | Midway | 1997 | Racing 

How did an overhead racer featuring Micro Machine vehicles 

receive a perfect score from the Official Playstation 

Magazine and rank among the Digital Press “Top 50 

Playstation Games”? V3, with its 48 tracks, is among the 

best multiplayer games released on the Playstation. Each 

player attempts to move a full screen ahead of his opponent, 

thus extinguishing one of his opponent’s four “lights.”



Sony | Sony | 1997 | Puzzle 

TO MY MIND, INTELLIGENT QUBE is the best game 

on the Playstation. Takayuki Hattori’s haunting score, simple 

yet effective graphics and easy to learn rules are certainly 

present. But the title’s true success lies in The Number, the 

IQ which the game assigns you after every campaign. 

Developed internally by Sony Japan and released in 1997 to 

huge sales in Japan, Intelligent Qube has the feel of Tetris 

exploding into 3D. The player in Tetris is worried about 

being buried by an ever-growing stack of blocks that inexorably 

(and with increasing speed) fall from the sky. In IQ, 

the player worried about being buried by a rolling squad of 

cubes – Qubes, as it were – which robotically try to shove 

his avatar off the edge of the playfield. Blocks can be detonated 

one at a time, but after the first few levels this method 

is too slow to succeed, and occasionally one’s targeted block 

is protected by a black block, a “forbidden” block, which 

cannot be destroyed without penalty. 

To be victorious, then, the player must utilize the third type 

of block, neither normal nor forbidden. The green blocks 

– Advantage Qubes – leave a mark on the playfield when 

“set.” The player may then detonate this set mark at any 

time, optimally chaining together a number of explosions. 

The game, along with all great strategy games, is about patterns, 

as the player slowly begins to see chains of explosions 

four and five moves ahead of the detonation. The 

goal in every level is to hear the Tron-style overlord congratulate 

you with a terse “Per-fect,” the “r” coldly and 

mechanically drawn out. With each passing stage, the blocks 

become more numerous and move quicker, and the patterns 

simultaneously become more complex. 

Again echoing Tetris, death is almost certain. For all but 

the most skilled players, the patterns of advancing Qubes 

eventually become too complex. The game is not about 

winning, as in “arriving at the end.” The game is about The 

Number. The IQ. The beginner sees his number move 

from 2 to 20 to something much higher. After one fantastic 

run, “360” fades slowly onscreen. As far as the Qubes 

are concerned, Einstein has nothing on their new master.

It may seem tough to believe now, but in the runup to the 

launch of the Playstation the big news from Sony’s camp 

was the 32-bit exclusivity obtained for Mortal Kombat 3, 

the newest sequel in the massively popular franchise. 

Though the game sold well enough to obtain Greatest Hits 

status, reviewers and gamers panned the unoriginal title as a 

poor substitute for 1995 blockbusters like Virtua Fighter.

Myst 

Psyg./Visual Sc. | Psygnosis | 1996 | Adventure 

The Playstation ushered videogame hardware into the CD 

era, but Cyan’s Myst did it first for software. First released 

in 1993, Myst, with its beautiful pre-rendered graphics, was 

ported to nearly every CD-capable platform. In retrospect, 

Myst is only a rather pedestrian adventure mystery, but the 

title quite adequately demonstrated the technical capability 

of CD games. 



Metal Gear Solid 

Konami | Konami | 1998 | Action 

THE 90s WERE A DECADE OF shoot first-ask questions 

later videogames. Doom. Quake. Tomb Raider. Duke 

Nukem. Konami’s Metal Gear Solid takes gamers in the 

opposite direction, where sneaking around corners and hiding 

from the enemy is the winning method. The game stars 

Solid Snake, a special government agent who must covertly 

infiltrate the Alaska compound of a terrorist group threatening 

to fire nuclear weapons unless the US meets its demands. 

The group has also kidnapped two high-value officials. 

Snake begins his mission alone and unarmed. 

MGS Director Hideo Kojima first developed Metal Gear in 

the late 80s for the Japan-only MSX home computer, from 

which it was ported the NES under Konami’s Ultra Games 

label. Only with the arrival of the Playstation was the game 

reborn, with technology finally able to create Kojima’s “cinematic” 

brand of action. The movie-style camera, especially 

evident during the hours of cutscenes, allows MGS 

to stand out from the crowd. The story is well-written, 

often funny, and touches on the moral implications of topics 

from nuclear proliferation to genetics. 

That said, many videogames have had a good story; few 

have the gameplay to back it up. Metal Gear Solid is not 

one of those games. Much of the game consists simply of 

avoiding guards. As ammunition is in short supply, it’s not 

possible to kill all of the guards, and if a guard spots your 

character and chases him down, death comes quickly. Further, 

the guards are attuned to noise. An errant gunshot or 

a footstep in water is enough to alert guards to the presence 

of an intruder. Satisfying boss fights arise often, forcing 

the player to ditch stealth and take out his target. 

MGS also has the little touches that are the hallmark of a 

classic. When Solid Snake smokes, his health slowly but 

surely goes down. Voice acting is leaps and bounds beyond 

typical videogame standards, with David Hayter’s gruff 

drawl perfectly matching Solid Snake’s persona. An 

unlockable Bond-style tuxedo for Snake can be acquired. 

While its Playstation2 sequels would bring the cinematics 

to new heights, the original Metal Gear Solid is still reckoned 

by many to have the best story and gameplay of the 

series.

Basketball was the first sport to be licensed in a videogame, 

with Electronic Arts’ 1984 “Julius Erving and Larry Bird 

Go One-on-One.” Until the Playstation incarnation of NBA 

Live, however, realistic basketball gaming was a mirage. With 

3D characters, television style overhead cameras, and 

semiaccurate statistics, ball fans finally had a choice beyond

Pioneer/Eden/EA Canada | EA | 96-00 | Racing 

Before there was Gran Turismo, there was EA’s Need for 

Speed. In the 16-bit era, great racers like Top Gear let you 

drive cars. In the Playstation era, Need for Speed let you 

drive cars: Corvette, Lamborghini, McLaren. The physics 

aren’t accurate and the track selection is limited, but there’s 

no skipping the game that was first to let you race a Ferrari 

through a pristine alpine village.

GameDay was years beyond its competition. The game

Oddworld combined one-part 2D platformer and one-part 

Lemmings to create the Playstation’s most well-received 

puzzle adventure. There are no extra lives, no high scores, 

and no life bars. Oddworld Inhabitants founders Sherry 

McKenna and Lorne Lanning came into videogaming by 

way of 3D animation for movies, and it shows in the beautifully 

animated, fully expressive characters you encounter.


Parappa the Rapper 

NaNaOn-Sha | Sony | 1997 | Music 

IT IS UNSURPRISING THAT MASAYA Matsuura, lead 

developer of PaRappa the Rapper, won the annual “First 

Penguin Award” from videogame industry group IDSA. 

The oddly-named First Penguin is awarded to the developer 

who “is the first to test the proverbial waters, in the 

face of uncertainty of success or failure.” A musician by 

trade, Matsuura formed NanaOn-Sha in 1993 to develop 

multimedia music products. In 1996, these industry outsiders 

produced their first game, starring a rapping dog 

named PaRappa on his quest to win the heart of a sunflower 

named Sunny Funny. 

The game takes place in a 3D world, but each character is 

simply a 2D cutout based on drawings by New York artist 

Rodney Alan Gleenblat. Indeed, the name “PaRappa” is a 

Japanese double entendre, meaning both “paper-thin” and 

“a bit crazy.” The player begins in the dojo of Chop Chop 

Master Onion, who true to name is a rap sensei with an 

onion for a head. From there it only gets stranger, as 

PaRappa trains with a chicken who has his own cooking 

show and a Rastafarian frog named Mr. Prince Fleaswallow. 

In each level, the instructor raps a line, which PaRappa must 

match by pressing the right button in time with the music. 

If ever there was an unlikely hit, it was PaRappa. 

But as PaRappa says, Open your mind – you gotta believe! 

PaRappa was named “Game of the Year” by 18 Japanese 

publications. The game popularized the Rhythm Game 

genre. Screenshots do not do the game justice. The paperthin 

characters are wonderfully animated, and the music is 

surprisingly good. Often bizarre lyrics make sense in a world 

of sunflower girls and rapping dogs. It is not possible to 

play through this game without a few choice lines of 

PaRappa rap stuck in one’s head. 

NanaOn-Sha has continued to lead the way with innovative 

titles since the release of PaRappa. 1999’s Vib Ribbon, released 

only in Japan and Europe, has the player control a 

mouse running over waves produced by whatever music 

CD you put in your Playstation. The entire game is in 

Vectrex-style black-and-white vector graphics. Black and 

white – suitable for a First Penguin.

Point Blank’s levels are more county fair fun and less

dozens of levels in each title made the series the party game

Taito | Working Designs (Spaz) | 2000 | Shooter 

There’s a reason RayCrisis came to the Playstation under 

the “Spaz” imprint: it is a fast and furious overhead shooter 

utilizing Taito’s Lock-on system, where multiple ships are 

targeted then simultaneously destroyed by a missile barrage. 

The game is a shooter fan’s shooter, as it is quickly beaten 

and replay consists of attempts to improve high scores. For 

twitchy-fingered arcade fans, this goal is all that’s needed.


Resident Evil 2 

Capcom | Capcom | 1998 | Adventure 

“THIS GAME CONTAINS SCENES OF VIOLENCE 

and gore.” Resident Evil games, from the moment the player 

inserts the disc, warn of the horrors ahead. Shinji Mikami’s 

series began with 1996’s Resident Evil (called Biohazard in 

Japan). The title combined elements from Capcom’s obscure 

Famicom release “Sweet Home” and PC classic Alone 

in the Dark. Prerendered backgrounds allowed for graphics 

far more detailed than anything else on the Playstation, 

and tense, violent scenes informed gamers that a new era 

of adult games had begun. Resident Evil 2, released two 

years later, outdid the original and is considered the best in 

the series. 

Resident Evil 2 was almost not released. One month before 

the title was supposed to ship, Capcom decided the 

game was not up to par and decided to redo the entire game 

from scratch; prototypes of the original version, dubbed 

Resident Evil 1.5, are highly sought after by collectors. 

Yoshiki Okamoto brought in television scriptwriter Noboru 

Sugimura to rewrite the plot. Sugimora decided on a game 

featuring police officer Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield, 

sister of Resident Evil hero Chris Redfield, in their effort 

to stop the zombie outbreak that had overtaken all of Raccoon 

City. While Mikami was retained as producer, young 

programmer Hideki Kamiya (later responsible for Devil May 

Cry and Viewtiful Joe) was made Director. 

The action in RE2 is much more furious than in the original. 

Enemies are more numerous, ammunition is easier to 

find, and boss battles pop up more often. Though the sense 

of cerebral fear is deadened, the jump-out-of-your-seat 

moments, especially the infamous “police station window” 

scene, set the gold standard for shock. Can a game scare 

you? In 1995, the answer was “Of course not.” After RE2, 

the emotional potential of videogames was clear. 

Pure shock isn’t RE2’s only claim to fame. The brilliant 

“zapping system” allowed the player to move through the 

game through the eyes of either Claire or Leon. Depending 

on the order in which the player uses Claire and Leon, 

the story of the game and positioning of enemies and “shock 

moments” change slightly. A true classic.

Videogamers are used to strange settings - steampunk, for

exception. Johnny, an 1800s Wild West adventurer quick 

with the six-shooter, trains in an ancient martial art and returns 

to rid his town of vandals that include sumo wrestlers 

and ninjas. The real mystery is how this game ever made it 

off the shores of Japan.

Silent Bomber 

CyberConnect2 | Bandai | 2000 | Action 

Silent Bomber is a shooter with a twist - rather than fly 

around with turrets blasting, the game requires the player 

to lay bombs on the enemies, then simultaneously detonate 

as many enemies as possible for the maximum score. By 

the later stages, this becomes quite a feat, as the bombs and 

napalm fires can easily injure the player as he lures enemies 

into a trap. The graphics, all 3D, are top-notch.


Tekken 3 

Namco | Namco | 1998 | Fighting - 3D 

GAMERANKINGS.COM COMPILES REVIEW scores 

from top magazines, newspapers and websites. According 

to the reviewers, Tekken 3 is the best game released for the 

Playstation. When the Playstation was announced in 1994, 

though, Namco’s fighter wasn’t on anyone’s radar. Would 

the Playstation have Street Fighter? Mortal Kombat III? 

How can Sony compete with Yu Suzuki’s Virtua Fighter, 

which was set to launch the Sega Saturn toward success? 

The original Tekken, meaning Iron Fist, was released to the 

arcade on new hardware called System 11, which was based 

on architecture similar to Sony’s Playstation. Easy conversion 

meant that Tekken was a quick port. The top-notch 

quality of the port, with 3D graphics that were better than 

the arcade original, proved the technological strength of 

the Playstation. Tekken 2 a year later also impressed, but 

1998’s Tekken 3 signaled the high water mark of the series. 

Brought over from the System 12 arcade board, a system 

more advanced that the Playstation, Tekken 3 nonetheless 

remains nearly arcade-perfect. Four primary buttons are 

used, one each for the left and right arms and legs. The 

nonsensical “soft” and “hard” punch legacy of earlier fighters 

is rightfully consigned to history. An enormous number 

of moves and combinations means that skill and experience 

will always prevail over simple button-matching in a 

Tekken match. As in most fighters, each character uses a 

different style, such as Capoeira. 

Namco is known for including copious extras in its home 

ports, and Tekken 3 is no exception. Two exclusive characters 

are added, strangely including a comic book dragon 

named Gon. FMV of incredible quality, perhaps better than 

even Square’s best Playstation efforts, is included for each 

individual character in their ending. Tekken Ball, a minigame, 

is the best of extras. In the game, two characters play a 

version of volleyball, infusing the volleyball with special 

energy when it is struck with a special move. If the opponent 

is hit with the ball or allows it to touch the ground, 

they suffer that damage.

not about cheap thrills, but rather a terrifying atmosphere. 

Enemies are nearly as fast as your character Harry, a terrifying 

set of ambient noise continually gives players the willies, 

and dimly lit environments always hide what’s around the 

corner. The creepy sobbing girl is unforgettable. Truly scary.

The Playstation hardware, said conventional wisdom, was

This was the domain of the Saturn. SFA3 proved conventional 

wisdom wrong. Beautiful graphics, quick animation, 

and 34 characters including Guile and the gang from Street 

Fighter 2 make SFA3 the best 2D fighter on the system.

Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo is essentially Battle Tetris. 

Players attempt to line up balls of matching color. As your 

blocks diminish, however, your opponent is punished by a 

more intense block avalanche. Super-deformed Street 

Fighter characters mid-screen shift the blocks, all the while 

yelling their fighting game catch-phrase. Sho-Ryu-Ken! 



Tomb Raider 

Core Design | Eidos | 1996 | Action 

AUTHOR DAVID CROQUET APTLY described her as 

“Indiana Jones in drag.” She had her own magazine in Germany, 

appeared in Nike commercials, was portrayed in two 

Hollywood films by Angelina Jolie, and served as an international 

sex symbol for a decade. She’s been a source of 

controversy for her physics-defying body. More impressively, 

she’s not real. 

Created by Toby Gard and Paul Douglas of small English 

developer Core Design, Lara Croft became an international 

sensation in the late 90s after the release of her game. Game, 

you say? Before the glamour, Lara Croft was simply the 

heroine in a game named Tomb Raider, a title that would 

inspire as many copycat “3D Action Adventure” titles as 

Super Mario Bros. spawned sidescrollers. Released in 1996, 

Tomb Raider follows the trail of Lara as she searches the 

world for pieces of the Scion, a relic distributed in temples 

and caves throughout the world. 15 levels traverse Atlantis, 

ancient Rome and the Pyramids, among other locales. 

At its heart, the game is simply a platformer. Lara moves 

through a series of puzzles, including some infamously frustrating 

jumping puzzles, while battling the occasional enemy. 

Big breasts alone are not enough to make a game 

successful – many titles have featured attractively accoutered 

CG women. Tight control, a solid camera and an 

entertaining story allowed Tomb Raider to rise to the top. 

Though the original appeared on the Saturn as well as Sony’s 

system, Tomb Raider and its leading lady became inexorably 

linked to the Playstation. Sony inked an exclusivity deal 

with Eidos, ensuring that TR2 and TR3 wouldn’t appear on 

the N64 or Saturn. 16 million sales later, it’s fair to say that 

Sony’s deal paid off. 

Soon after Tomb Raider was released, much of the original 

team left Core to found a new company, Confounding Factor. 

In the absence of the game’s creators, the quality of 

further sequels was disappointing. Nonetheless, Tomb 

Raider did as much as any other game to broaden the audience 

for videogames and make games a true mass market 

phenomenon. The box said “Tomb Raider starring Lara 

Croft.” And a star she was.

Tenchu: Stealth Assassins 

Acquire | Activision | 1998 | Action 

Tenchu, known as Metal Gear Ninja to some, brings stealth 

action back to the day of the samurai. A grappling hook is 

the game’s key element, allowing players to soar from rooftop 

to rooftop avoiding the clueless guards below. If a fight 

does occur, prepare for Tenchu’s notorious spray of blood 

that erupts every time an enemy is struck.

Tobal No. 1 

Dreamfactory | Sony | 1996 | Fighting - 3D 

Tobal No. 1 is Square’s first attempt at a 3D Fighter. Produced 

by fighting game veterans Seiichi Ishii and Koji 

Yamashita’s DreamFactory, the game features silky-smooth 

animation and reasonable character balance. There’s also a 

Quest Mode, which is essentially a mini-RPG that reverts 

to the standard fighting game when the player encounters 

an enemy.


Tony Hawk Pro Skater 

Neversoft | Activision | 1999 | Sports - Extreme 

IN THE MID 1980s, A YOUNG DEVELOPER named 

Matt Householder sat in his kitchen, attempting to come 

up with an idea for a new Epyx videogame. They had published, 

to great success, a series of sports titles including 

Summer Games, Winter Games and World Games. But 

what was left? Serendipitously, Householder’s wife looked 

out the window and saw a kid skateboarding down their 

street. Why not a videogame about extreme sports? Work 

on the classic California Games began soon after. 

Fast forward ten years. With the unexpected success of 

snowboarding titles like Coolboarders and 1080, publishers 

began looking for “X Games” titles to add to their library. 

Activision was one of the first out the gate, releasing 

Neversoft’s skateboarding masterpiece Tony Hawk Pro 

Skater in 1999. Tony Hawk producer Scott Pease explains 

the allure of alternative sports games: “The basketball, football, 

and hockey games are great, but they haven’t changed 

that much over the years. The rules for those games are 

written in stone and will never change. Extreme sports, on 

the other hand, are more malleable. From a game design 

standpoint you have a lot more freedom to experiment with 

new modes of play, new locations, characters, and elements.” 

Tony Hawk is not a straight sports game; it is, in effect, an 

adventure. Levels are sprawling, and the player is free to 

skate and perform tricks without even attempting to achieve 

some goal. “At first,” Pease explains, “this was a little disconcerting 

for people - they kept asking ‘Where’s the finish 

line? What do you do?’ After playing with it a while, they 

realized the answer was ‘Anything you want to.’” Special 

tricks, unique to each character, allow the player to perform 

stunts that are near impossible in real life. Top real-world 

skateboarders and skating meccas (such as Portland’s 

Burnside) lend their images to the title. 

In the wake of Tony Hawk Pro Skater, extreme sports games 

of every variety attempted to cash in on the craze; games 

based on BMX racing, surfing, and even Razor scooters (in 

two separate titles, no less) were released. None of these 

competitors could match the intuitive control, top-notch 

music, and innovation of THPS.

write home about, but the two-player car combat 

deathmatches set the standard with inventive level design 

and clever weapons.

Vagrant Story 


Vagrant Story is among Squaresoft’s most unique offerings, 

and many consider it the company’s best Playstation title. 

There are no FMV cutscenes and no prerendered backdrops. 

The game is an Action RPG, with battles being fought on 

the main playfield through a combo system that relies on 

Street Fighter-style button combinations. Well worth a look.

Wild 9 

Shiny / Big Grub | Interplay | 1998 | Action 

Wild 9 came to the Playstation from Shiny, a developer led 

by outspoken Irishman David Perry and famous for their 

16-bit hit Earthworm Jim. In the 2D platformer, your character, 

Wes Major, can swing enemies around using a beam 

weapon called The Rig. Wild 9 displays Shiny’s trademark 

humor, but repetitive gameplay meant the game never 

reached its potential.


WipEout 

Psygnosis | Psygnosis | 1995 | Racing 

NINTENDO MARKETED ITS NES TO KIDS. Sega 

found its niche with Mortal Kombat-loving teenagers. Sony 

was smart enough to notice the trend: every year, gamers 

were getting older. Why not market the Playstation to 

twenty-somethings? UK developer Psygnosis plotted the 

development of a futuristic racing game named WipEout, 

with a capital E, aimed squarely at member of the burgeoning 

global rave culture. 

In the year 2052, the player races hovercrafts at absurd 

speeds in the F3600 Antigravity Racing League. A solid 

framerate and clever track design keep the feeling of speed 

quite high, though a mere bump is enough to bring your 

hovercraft to a dead stop. The difficulty level is high. Seemingly 

inspired by Mario Kart, WipEout allows the player to 

pick up weapons to fire at other hovercrafts, though these 

are largely useless. On strict gameplay alone, WipEout is 

nothing special, though the sequel (WipEout XL) addresses 

nearly all of these concerns. 

Why, then, is WipEout considered a classic? It’s all about 

the style. Ian Anderson’s graphic design firm Designer’s 

Republic, legendary in music circles for essentially defining 

the typography and image of modern electronic music, was 

contracted to design the “feel” of the game. Logos, track 

outlines and menus were simply cooler in WipEout than in 

any of the competitors. This was a futuristic racer that 

looked the part. 

The music was also top-notch. Tim Wright, the lead 

soundman at Psygnosis, produced the electronica soundtrack 

under the name Cold Storage. In the UK, additional tracks 

by Leftfield, the Chemical Brothers and Orbital were included 

in the “Platinum Edition” release. Marketing for 

this title focused on the music – Playstation pods were set 

up in clubs around the world, especially in Europe where 

WipEout was the only non-Japanese launch game. A separate 

soundtrack and WipEout-branded club clothing were 

also released. The game was instrumental in bringing the 

Playstation to an adult audience and securing its European 

success. Videogames would not again be considered just 

“toys for kids.”

Xenogears is a top-notch RPG from Squaresoft that was

cutscenes, the battle system is also worthy of acclaim, especially 

the battles with mechanized Gears.

You Don’t Know Jack 

Jellyvision/Starsphere | Sierra | 1999 | Trivia 

Featuring a distinctive brand of sophomoric humor, You 

Don’t Know Jack is the best trivia game on the Playstation. 

Though the game suffers the curse of every trivia game - 

only 1400 questions means the player quickly sees repeats - 

cleverly written questions, the enthusiastic hosting of Tom 

Gottlieb, and varied play modes keep YDKJ a party-game 

favorite.

Data 

THE DATA SECTION WHICH FOLLOWS is the domain 

of the true collector. Full listings of demo discs, Lightspan 

edutainment titles and boxsets break down the “not quite” 

games which you’ll need to complete your collection. A listing 

of every Playstation game by publisher and genre allows 

subcollectors to know when they’ve achieved a full set of 

Capcom releases, fishing games or first person shooters. A 

complete sequential listing of US releases by part number, 

beginning SCUS for first-party games and SLUS for third-party 

titles, allows collectors to track the evolution of the system 

from beginning (Air Combat SLUS-00001) to end (FIFA Soccer 

2005 SLUS-01585). 

It’s not all hard data, however. Crash Bandicoot creator Jason 

Rubin, former Next Generation Editor Chris Charla and former 

Sony executive Bill Rehbock provide their qualified insight into 

the Playstation era in exclusive interviews. For importers, an 

introduction to rare and expensive foreign releases is available. 

Playstation controllers are more than just the trusty old Dual 

Shock, so we’ve also taken a look at peripherals of note. 

The section is meant as a reference, but even a quick glance 

through makes clear the extraordinary size of the industry supported 

by the Playstation.

Lightspan WHILE THE 3DO, CD-i AND other 32-bit 

systems were marketing themselves as “multimedia” 

systems, the Playstation was always 

concerned with games first. Or was it? Beginning 

in 1995, a small American company 

called Lightspan Technologies reckoned that 

Playstations were cheaper for poor school districts 

than PCs and thus began work on a series 

of edutainment games for the system. 

The titles were developed either in-house or 

by partner AIT. Graphics and gameplay were 

outdated from the startand the company never 

developed a top-tier title like Math Blaster or 

Oregon Trail. By 2002, schools had all but 

abandoned Lightspan; a planned Playstation2 

update was cancelled. 

Lightspan games are quite difficult to come 

across. The best way to go is to buy a lot in 

an online auction, where a dozen games can 

be picked up for less than fifty dollars. The 

truly difficult titles to find are listed as “ER” 

in the list to the right; for the most part, these 

games were made only before 1997 and then 

discontinued. There are almost certainly further 

pre-1997 titles beyond those listed to the 

right. Rumored games include “Cool Math” 

and “Story Time Theatre.” The games come 

is simple slip-sleeves, not full jewel cases.

Lightspan Titles [084 | 085]

TALKING Jason Rubin 

JASON RUBIN IS THE COFOUNDER, along with 

Andy Gavin, of developer Naughty Dog. The two 

founded their company in 1986 when they were only 

sixteen years old, and went on to develop games for 

the PC, Amiga, Genesis and 3DO. The team signed 

a publishing deal with Universal Interactive in 1994. 

Their first title under the deal? Crash Bandicoot. 

You signed with Universal in 1994 - what type of direction did 

they give you for the games in your contract? Was there ever a push 

to develop a mascot-style game? 

When Naughty Dog first signed with Universal Studios, 

we had a “first look deal.” We decided what type of game 

we wanted to make and they had a right to look at them 

before anyone else did. The decision to make a character 

action game and the basic design of the game predate 

Universal Interactive Studios. We actually came up with 

the idea while driving from Boston to Los Angeles to 

begin working with them. We think it actually happened 

in Iowa. When we decided months later to target the 

game for the PlayStation, as opposed to the Saturn or 

N64, we started talking about making a “Sonic for Sony” 

because we were the only company that was working on a 

character action game for the system. Sony didn’t see the 

game until at least 6 months later. 

Sony talked often about their development tools and libraries. In 

the early days of the Playstation, how did dev for the Playstation 

compare to the other systems you had worked on? 

Naughty Dog was never the type of developer that used 

tools even when they were provided. We tended to go 

“straight to the hardware” regardless of what the hardware 

manufacturer offered. Doing so on the PlayStation was 

many times simpler than on its successors, however! 

Crash was very successful in Japan. How did Naughty Dog crack 

that market? 

I wish I knew a definitive answer to this question. We 

spent a good amount of time listening to our Japanese 

producer’s advice, changed content and game balance 

specifically for that market, read about Japanese culture, 

focus-tested, and spent time in Japan. Sony’s Japanese 

marketing efforts for Crash were revolutionary. And since 

most Japanese developers were tied to the competing 

hardware (Miyamoto-san at Nintendo, and Naka-san at 

Sega), we were given a less competitive playing field than 

might have been the case. In any event, when the 

PlayStation took off, Crash took off. Crash 3 was the 

most successful game created and developed by a foreign 

studio in Japanese history. It still holds this record as far 

as I know. 

Where did the idea for the character Crash Bandicoot come from? 

We had the idea of taking a common creature, familiar in 

name but not look, and “kidnapping” it. Examples of 

this are the “Tasmanian Devil” and “RoadRunner” which 

are real creatures that most people picture as the Warner 

Brothers cartoon characters. Since so many of them were 

Australian, we got a book on Australian Marsupials and 

picked the “Wombat.” Thankfully we switched to the 

Bandicoot, an actual creature that tends to interfere with 

Tasmanian and Australian gardening. Since he smashed 

boxes, we named him Crash. There were many people 

involved in the design including the Naughty Dog team, 

Mark Cerny of Universal Interactive Studios, and Charles 

Zembillas and Joe Pearson, two Hollywood television and 

movie animation designers. 

Even as the Playstation welcomed the age of “games for adults,” 

Naughty Dog’s titles have remained family friendly. Why is this, 

and what is your opinion about the adult content that we saw during 

the Playstation era? 

The PlayStation broadened the game market, and later 

systems and the passage of time continue to broaden the 

game market. As a result, a wider variety of games are 

being made to serve the more diverse tastes of the market. 

This doesn’t make younger fare obsolete. Just because 

zombie and other horror movies are popular lately, it would 

be odd to ask Pixar why they don’t make horror films. 

The media often reported that it was Crash vs. Mario in 1996. 

Was that a fair (or meaningful) comparison? 

Both fair and meaningless. Many consumers had to make 

a decision which system they were going to buy. Crash 

and Mario were the top sellers. Deciding which game you 

wanted to play might be the deciding factor in which 

system you were going to buy. At the same time, they 

were very different games trying to achieve very different 

goals. I have to admit, the press helped. If you get in the 

ring with the champ, the worst you can be when you step 

is number two. And that’s a pretty good place to be.

TALKING Chris Charla 

CHRIS CHARLA WAS EDITOR-IN-CHIEF of 

Next Generation magazine during the heyday of the 

Playstation era, and was launch editor for ign.com. 

He currently works for developer Digital Eclipse. 

Next Generation was first published the year the Playstation was 

released - what made 1995 such an exciting time in the videogame 

world? 

1995 saw a huge generational shift in videogames. Just on 

the hardware side, we went from these two dominant 16bit, 

sprite-based 2D systems to having literally a huge 

amount of choices for next generation hardware - 

Playstation, Saturn, CD-i, Jaguar, 3DO, Neo-Geo CD, 

Pippin, 32X, N64 was on the horizon, etc. On the PC, 

you had 3D cards starting to come into their own. 

So, suddenly we had hardware that was poised to do a lot 

more than we had ever been able to do before, and you 

saw the start of the change in public perceptions from 

thinking of videogames as something for kids to a 

legitimate form of entertainment for all ages. I think 

people in the game industry had known that for a long 

time, but 1995 was when you saw the first hints of that in 

the popular press, after the success of Myst. Further, 

Night Trap created a huge amount of controversy because 

it was “violent” but aimed at kids, and when the response 

from DP was “no, its for adults” it totally changed the 

debate about games. We went from this kind of “this is 

hurting our kids” debate to one that was more “if these 

are for adults and kids, we need a ratings system.” And 

that was a huge step in the development of the game 

industry. 

Why was the Playstation able to become so successful with the public? 

Two reasons. Ken Kutaragi nailed the hardware. It was 

easy to develop for, and made the transition to 3D really 

easy for developers. So developers were able to create 

these awesome new experiences we’d never had before in 

the home (or even the arcades). Second, Sony totally nailed 

the marketing. They saw that the base for games was 

growing, and rather than targeting the tradition 12 - 16 

demographic, they aimed at a much older demographic. 

Not only did this older demographic have more money 

to spend on games and game systems, but they also 

established the entire zeitgeist of what was “cool” for the 

rest of popular culture. 

The Playstation was the first major console to tackle adult themes, 

such as rave culture (WipEout, N2O), homosexuality (Fear Effect), 

etc. Why was that, and did videogames lose anything from this new 

emphasis? 

The Playstation being the platform for games that dealt 

with more adult themes was a direct result of Sony aiming 

it at an older demographic, and the presence of a ratings 

system that enabled developers to create “M” titles without 

having to worry about offending younger players or their 

parents. I don’t think games lost anything when this 

happened at all. I think it just enabled a broader spectrum 

of stories and topics to come into games, and that’s one 

of the reasons videogames are so huge today. Once 

developers were enabled to create games for ages beyond 

12, games suddenly starting appealing to a wide audience 

that was older than 12. 

What games were created for the Playstation that had not been 

possible in the past? 

There’s a huge spectrum of games that Playstation 

enabled, but the easiest to identify is the 3D platformer, 

whether that’s Crash Bandicoot or Spyro, or Lara Croft in 

Tomb Raider. While the best 3D platformer, Mario 64, 

wasn’t on Playstation, the whole notion of the 3rd person 

3D action game was ultimately realized most completely 

on the Playstation. The Survival Horror genre was really 

enabled by the ratings system, so that was less a function 

of Playstation than it was the general changes going on in 

the industry at that time, but again, it was most welcomed 

by consumers on PlayStation. 

What opportunities were missed during the 32-bit era? 

Not many. Just about everything was tried in 32-bit that 

could be. FMV, classic 2D adventures, RTS, 3D 

adventures, action, platformers, sports, extreme sports, 

rhythm action, racing, experimental games like Carnage 

Heart or Tail of the Sun, etc. There may have been some 

implementation issues, but by and large, the game industry 

threw everything it had at the 32-bit era, saw what stuck, 

and made a lot of it. You can decry a lack of innovation 

at the tail end, but I’d say on balance 1995-2000 clearly 

ranks as one of the game industry’s most golden times.

Rare EU/JP Games 

PLAYSTATION COLLECTING IS NOT solely an 

American endeavor. 1425 games have been released in 

Europe, and nearly 4000 were put out in Japan. Collectors 

in both regions are currently hard at work putting 

together comprehensive local rarity lists, a feat which we 

will not duplicate here. Nonetheless, we provide a taste 

of what’s available overseas on the following pages. Here 

you can find a selection of rare titles in Japan and Europe, 

all unreleased in the US, which might be of interest 

to importers. Of course, this list is by no means comprehensive 

- it will no doubt be some time before a collector 

manages a full international PS collection. 

Megaman Battle & Chase 

Europe | SLES-00766 | 1998 

MEGAMAN BATTLE & CHASE, THE FIRST ever 

Megaman 3D racing game, was slated for a US release but 

Capcom USA decided to scrap the project. Grab yourself 

one of 10 cars and let it rip over 32 different tracks, all of 

them loaded with challenges, not to mention treacherous 

opponents! After every win you can nick bits off the losers’ 

cars and tune up your own. 10 well-known characters 

from the Megaman world appear, each with his own special 

car and dedicated weapons. The 2-player split-screen mode 

is a riot. This title was also released in Japan as “Rockman 

Battle & Chase.” The very limited release of the full-English 

European version has meant this title is highly desired; 

it routinely commands a price over $30. 

Gussun Paradise 

Japan | SLPS-00588 | 1996 

GUSSUN PARADISE IS A BRIGHT and colorful mixture 

of Bubble Bobble, Rainbow Islands, and Bomberman. 

Guss and Yodie leap from platform to platform avoiding 

enemies who do their best to destroy them. By throwing or 

jumping on the bombs, Guss and Yodie can ignite a two 

second fuse. On detonation, the bomb will destroy all enemies 

in the vicinity. Destroy all of the enemies within the 

allotted time to progress to the next level. The graphics in 

Gussun Paradise are simple, but well-executed parallax scrolling 

effects impress. Released in Europe as “Yo Yo’s Puzzle 

Park.”

Martial Beat 

Japan | SLPM-87014 | 1998 

SO YOU THINK DANCE DANCE Revolution gives you 

a good workout? Konami took DDR one step further and 

added martial arts. Martial Beat is a motion sensing game 

equipped with a non-touch sensor that recognizes the player’s 

movements, sensing both the direction and timing of every 

strike. In practice and fitness mode, the player is greeted by 

a real life instructor who will perform a task and prompt 

the player to perform the same moves, similar to Parappa 

the Rapper. However, it is in attack mode where the fun 

begins. Fight against an opponent by performing actual 

martial arts moves. Martial Beat was released in Japan containing 

a receiver which recognizes cordless sensors attached 

to the player’s wrists and ankles. This is the closest one can 

get to virtual reality on the PlayStation. A sequel was also 

released in Japan. 

Motor Toon G.P. 

Japan | SLPS-10001 | 1994 

POLY ENTERTAINMENT ARE THE geniuses behind 

the best-selling Gran Turismo. Before the massive success 

of GT, this developer was responsible for Motor Toon G.P., 

which was one of the first PlayStation games released in 

Japan. Motor Toon was a cartoon racer that pushed the 

technical envelope with state of the art graphics never before 

seen in a racing game. Race against opponents while 

gathering power ups to assist you along the way. Bright 

colors and flat-color shading is used in order to provide a 

true cartoon look. This game should not be confused with 

the US release Motor Toon Grand Prix. Motor Toon Grand 

Prix is actually the sequel of this game. 

Little Big Adventure 

Europe | SLES-00698 | 1997 

JOIN TWINSEN, THE HERO PROPHET, on a surreal 

adventure through fantastical worlds to discover the Legend. 

Solve cryptic clues and defeat bad guys as you guide 

Twinsen to his destiny. This little known game is a port of 

the best-selling PC game “Twinsen’s Odyssey,” originally released 

by Activision in the US. Little Big Adventure was 

released in Japan, but because the game is text-heavy the 

English-language European version is more desirable to importers. 

The game sells for over $30. 

Rare EU/JP Games [106 | 107]

Expensive EU/JP Games 

RARE GAMES ARE ONE THING. The dedicated collector 

will eventually come across even the rarest title at 

a good price. The expensive titles, however, are the sole 

domain of those with a thick wallet. Following are a 

sample of the most pricey EU and JP releases, but, of 

course, there are many more than the ones we’ve listed 

here. Surgeons, lawyers and investment bankers should 

also take a look at, to list a few, Kula World (E), 

Castlevania Limited Edition (E), Ramna Battle Renaissance 

(J), Kaitou Apricot (J), Captain Commando (J), 

Harmful Park (J), Panzer Bandits (J), Taoplan Shooting 

Battle (J), and the numerous Japanese “limited edition” 

boxsets. 

Mortal Kombat II 

Japan | SLPS-00444 | 1996 

MORTAL KOMBAT II IS ARGUABLY the best fighter in 

the Mortal Kombat series. It is rather surprising that Acclaim 

released this game in Japan and not in the US. This 

could be attributed to the fact that Tekken and Battle Arena 

Toshinden were already on the market and showing off the 

extraordinary 3D capabilities of the PlayStation. For a 2D 

game on a 3D game system, Mortal Kombat II holds up 

fairly well. Graphics are crisp and the control is arcade-like. 

The one drawback to this Playstation port is that when finishing 

moves are performed, the game pauses in order to 

load in the data due to the PlayStation’s limited RAM. Mortal 

Kombat II was released in very limited quantities, so it is 

quite a collector’s item. This game often sells for over $100. 

Capcom Generations 

Europe | SLES-01881 | 1999 

EVER WONDERED WHAT CAPCOM did before such 

PlayStation hits as Dino Crisis and Street Fighter? Well here 

is your chance to own 4 CD’s packed with 13 of Capcom’s 

best classic games such as Ghouls n’ Ghosts, 1942, Commando 

and Gun Smoke. Enjoy arcade perfect conversions, 

browse galleries filled with original artwork and view special 

secrets and tips. This is the complete collection of classic 

Capcom games in a European exclusive pack. This title 

was slated for a US release but never came to fruition. In 

Japan, Capcom sold each CD separately. The English-language 

Euro version is in high demand; it sells for $30-$50.

Rakugaki Showtime 

Japan | SLPM-86272 | 1999 

TREASURE HAS THE UNCANNY ability to make 

memorable, zany, and wacky games. The combination of 

those characteristics makes Rakugaki Showtime an instant 

classic and a collectors item. Rakugaki Showtime is a fighting 

game at heart but the presentation of it is like nothing 

ever seen before in the fighting genre. Up to four players at 

a time can battle in a small arena. Similar to Poy Poy, your 

character can pick up objects and throw them at opponents 

as well as perform melee attacks. What makes this game 

stand out from the crowd is the art design; characters are 

derived from crayon drawings sketched onto a piece of paper. 

The effect is quite ingenious and resembles Paper Mario. 

While there is a single player option, true four-player battles 

are the essence of the game. Imported copies sell for around 

$150. 

Discworld Noir 

Europe | SLES-01549 | 1999 

THE NAME’S LEWTON, AND THE DAME I’m working 

for wrote the book on trouble - and the sequel too. I’m 

starting to wonder if Discworld’s first private investigator is 

about to become it’s last. Control the action in this new and 

original Terry Pratchett story. Talk to almost seventy unique 

Discworld characters. Walk the mean streets of the Ankh- 

Morpok and explore over seventy different 3D locations. 

Terry Pratchet’s Discworld series has a huge following, and 

Discworld 1 and 2 have proven to be popular titles in the 

US, but Discworld Noir was released only in Europe. The 

game is a spinoff from the first two games, not a true sequel. 

On the open market, Discworld Noir fetches up to 

$50. 

GaiaSeed 

Europe | SLPS-00624 | 1996 

GAIASEED IS AN OLD-SCHOOL horizontal shooter 

similar to R-Type and Darius. The concept is simple: fly 

your spaceship through hordes of enemy ships and shoot 

everything that moves. The graphics are nothing to speak 

of, but the playability and control are spot-on. This game is 

both rare and expensive; it fetches up to $200 online, making 

it as expensive as Treasure’s Radiant Silvergun for the 

Sega Saturn. This game was released in limited quantities in 

early 1996. It was not brought to Europe or the US.

TALKING Bill Rehbock 

BILL REHBOCK WAS SONY’S VICE president of 

R&D at Sony during the launch of the Playstation in 

1995. He was in charge of third-party developer support, 

English language documentation, and third 

party peripheral licensing. He is currently the director 

of developer relations at Nvidia. 

It’s been said there was some friction between SCEA and SCEI on 

how best to launch the PSX in America (such as the dispute on 

controller design, for instance). What disagreements did the two 

sides have? Did the US side ever consider a different case design? 

Many controller designs were considered, but I think that 

history has now shown that Goto-san’s design continues 

to be a clear winner. The controller outside of Japan 

wound up being a little bit larger, with a slightly longer 

cord. One of the biggest issues was simply communication 

between SCEI and SCEA, especially in terms of what 

technical information could be supplied to developers. 

The Account Executives at SCEA was pretty new to the 

industry and third-party relations. Everyone was extremely 

passionate and dedicated to making PlayStation a success, 

so that made up for the shortcomings. We spent a lot of 

time in the first year I was at SCEA opening up 

communications between SCEA and SCEI. Much of the 

documentation was re-translated and the beginnings of 

the middleware licensing program was put in place. This 

greatly improved the next generations of games for the 

platform. 

The PS sold over 100m systems worldwide. In 1995, what were 

you guys projecting to sell? Were you surprised by the success of the 

system? 

Neither I nor most of the people at SCE were surprised. 

We knew PlayStation was a winner. Many others were 

surprised that Sony Computer Entertainment could 

execute as well as they did. Many people in the industry 

thought, “What does Sony know about consoles?” Sony 

brought to bear about 50 years of knowing what 

consumers want and fulfilling those wants. The Playstation 

began as a 50/50 venture of Sony Music and Sony 

Electronics. It was a perfect balance of respect and value 

of content with the engineering wherewithal and 

manufacturing and sales infrastructure. It’s a balance that 

players like Microsoft still don’t really understand. 

Nintendo was famous for their content/quality restrictions in the 

NES era. What content restrictions were in place at SCEA? 

The target audience was older than Nintendo’s, so 

PlayStation was more willing to entertain content that 

skewed a bit more mature. The standards were more 

similar to Sega’s, but everyone was wary of the situation 

with Joe Lieberman and the folks in Washington focusing 

on the industry. These were the days of Mortal Kombat 

and the original Doom, so it was a constant discussion. 

Many have said that the Net Yaroze wasn’t well-supported in the 

US. What were the discussions that led to the Yaroze being released, 

and why did it die such a quick death? 

Pricing was the biggest issue. The original Net Yaroze in 

Japan sold for well over $1000. The correct price for Net 

Yaroze should have been $499; roughly the cost of 

Microsoft’s MSDN program or Apple’s Developer 

Program subscription. SCEI didn’t want to make 

purchasers in Japan feel like they got burned, so a 

compromise was finally settled where original purchasers 

in Japan were given a copy of a 3D Creation package (I 

think Caligari) and the price in the U.S. was set at $750. 

The other issue was that the runtime libraries that were 

made available didn’t allow the same level of access to the 

hardware that the “professional” development 

environment allowed. Still, there were a good number of 

success stories that came of it and a number of people 

that used their Yaroze games to get jobs in the industry. 

What gameplay innovations on the PS will be remembered as the 

most important? 

Just the fact that PlayStation put legitimate 3D gaming 

into the market was a huge impact. Battle Arena Toshinden 

and Tekken redefined the fighter; Crash Bandicoot 

redefined the platform game. 

Gearing up to the release of the N64, what was the attitude inside 

of Sony? How did you guys react to the first demos of Mario 64, 

for instance, or the whole “same power as SGI” Project Reality 

announcements? 

Content from Nintendo was always impressive. My 

opinion of N64 was that it was pretty good hardware, but 

Nintendo has always designed, and continues to design 

with Gamecube, hardware that is well-suited for delivering 

their franchises. The market was well-headed in the 

direction of richer media and cartridges weren’t going to 

cut it for the games that third-parties had in mind. 


Peripherals of Note 

AN EXHAUSTIVE LIST OF PERIPHERALS would 

be a Sisyphean task due to the enormous number of 

devices, licensed and nonlicensed, made for the system. 

Literally hundreds of simple controller and memory card 

variations exist, as well as a bevy of arcade sticks, 

lightguns and fishing rods. Beyond the five items profiled 

below, Playstation collectors willing to delve into 

this jungle of peripherals should check out the Interact 

Memory Drive (lower right), Namco’s Jogcon racing 

controller (lower left), the ASCII Grip one-handed controller 

(top right) and the $199 Red Octane Afterburner 

Metal DDR pad (top left). 

Nyko Trackball 

North America 

WHEN I THINK OF A TRACKBALL, I think of 1980s 

staples Missile Command and Marble Madness. For those 

who have never experienced the trackball with Missile Command 

in the arcades, think of this device as a mouse turned 

upside down with a ball the size of a cue ball. Instead of 

rolling the mouse on the table you roll the ball with your 

hand. This device is great for games that utilized 360 degree 

movement or mouse compatible games. It’s also a 

welcome device for those users with wrists sore from frequent 

mouse usage. The 1998 Nyko Classic Trackball can 

be tough to track down today, but fans of games like Pong 

and Golden Tee Golf will find the search well worth the 

effort. 

ASCII Glove 

North America 

DEVELOPED SPECIFICALLY FOR the PlayStation, the 

Glove lets users move objects up, down, right, left or diagonally 

on the game screen without the need to aim. Arcadestyle 

buttons are located at the fingertips, allowing users 

easy access and one-handed control. It is made from plastic, 

neoprene and velcro (suitable for right hand use only). 

ASCII claims in the directions that there is a learning curve 

to using the Glove. I can vouch for that. Originally this 

accessory retailed for $89, but can now be purchased at bargain 

basement prices on eBay.

Happy Diet Stepper 

Japan 

STEP EXERCISING TONES THE LARGEST muscles 

in the body (buttocks, hips and thighs) and is a great fatburning 

workout. It’s also a great cardiovascular exercise. 

This Japan-only, Sony-approved interactive video stepper 

makes step exercise more interesting. Plug this device into 

your PlayStation, insert a special exercise game and get ready 

to work up a sweat. This accessory comes packaged with a 

game titled “Happy Jogging In Hawaii.” In this game the 

user, unsurprisingly, jogs through a virtual environment in 

Hawaii. The user is able to choose different paths to jog 

through including streets or the coastline. Other compatible 

games include “Happy Diet.” The stepper, although 

small in size, is sturdy and quite heavy. Expect to pay $250 

for this package plus shipping costs. 

Photo Hunter 

Hong Kong 

WHILE A MOUSE ISN’T EXACTLY a peripheral of note, 

a specialized mouse bundled with a Pokemon game is. This 

product is not endorsed by either Nintendo nor Sony making 

it fairly rare and difficult to find through normal channels. 

The games included with the mouse are puzzle-oriented. 

Two similar pictures are displayed side by side. Using 

the mouse, the player must find and click on the things 

that are different in each picture within a set time limit. 

Sounds like a kids game, but it’s very addicting. This mouse 

is specially made for the supplied games but has a switch to 

function as a normal mouse allowing use with other mouse 

compatible PlayStation games such as Discworld or 3D Lemmings. 

Ultimate Kickboxing Arena 

North America 

IDEAL FOR KICKBOXING and fighting fans, Naki’s 

Ultimate Kickboxing Arena turns your whole body into a 

fighting controller. The device is packaged with a high 

quality, thick, comfortable mat similar to the one used in 

DDR, as well as ankle and wrist sensors. The position 

detection mat and wireless sensors work together to detect 

all movements that you make including punches, kicks and 

jumping aerial attacks. This accessory breathes new life into 

classic fighting games such as Tekken and Battle Arena 

Toshinden.

THE PLAYSTATION CONTINUES to stay alive in 2005. This 

handheld Playstation, with full CD drive in the back, was designed by 

David Kaplish and sold for $640 in a 2004 charity fundraiser at the 

Classic Gaming Expo (www.portablesystems.net). In Europe and Japan, 

new games were still being released as this book went to print; the 

European games are being released solely by the Phoenix Games Group 

(http://www.phoenixgamesgroup.com/uk).
