The Original Playstation

• Ace Combat 3 From 3DOkid ^Pro in The Original Playstation (60 days old)

  The most forgotten of all forgotten games this. There was, of cause, Ace Combat 1 and 2 that everyone remembers, but these were arcade games. I mean proper arcade games. From the arcade and everything… more

• Gran Turismo From 3DOkid ^Pro in The Original Playstation (354 days old)

  Where do you start with Gran Turismo? It's sold almost 11million copies. There are 178 cars in the game. There are 11 tracks and bunch of sequels. That do? No – okay. It's been 10 years sin… more

• Need For Speed - Porsche Unleashed From 3DOkid ^Pro in The Original Playstation (359 days old)

  Hold on to your bladders. It's going to be a triple-shocker! That's right, first-off, it's not another bloody SHUMP, which in it's self is staggering. Not least of all because I have a copy of Raiden … more

• R-Type Delta From 3DOkid ^Pro in The Original Playstation (365 days old)

  There is on the Internet, a sort of cult, and while the Freemasons apparently make Steve Guttenburg a star, this gaming-cult makes mediocre games stars. Endless retro-gaming lunatics banging on about … more

• Raycrisis From 3DOkid ^Pro in The Original Playstation (369 days old)

  Raystorm, bless its little cotton socks, followed a pretty well trodden path when it came to a scenery line. You start off flying over the Earth, attacking an invasion force, and eventually making yo… more

• Raystorm. From 3DOkid ^Pro in The Original Playstation (380 days old)

  I'm being sucked into another SHMUP. I've always been a firm believer that part of the arcade experience that was left in the arcade, this was when the smoke-stained dimly glowing dinosaurs made th… more

• Clock Tower From 3DOkid ^Pro in The Original Playstation (385 days old)

  Clock Tower or rather Clock Tower 2 as it was called in Japan, but since Clock Tower was never released outside of Japan, it's okay to call Clock Tower 2, Clock Tower, but only in the West obviously. … more

• Heart of Darkness From 3DOkid ^Pro in The Original Playstation (388 days old)

  So at some point, someone, is going to realise I'm not a terribly diligent game reviewer. And why should I be? I pay £3.00 for a game and it's rubbish. So what? Either you're a collector, at which poi… more

• Deathtrap Dungeon From 3DOkid ^Pro in The Original Playstation (389 days old)

  Okay, so, this blog is beginning to read like something Sony would write. I appreciate your concern, I really do, the problem is that all the games I have covered so far have been pretty good. I also … more

• Einhander From 3DOkid ^Pro in The Original Playstation (391 days old)

  Another SHMUP. That's a Shoot'em up. I'll say it again, because no-one reads this blog anyway; a Shoot 'em up is what the original space invaders was. A little triangle shaped thing moving left to rig… more

• Sanvein From 3DOkid ^Pro in The Original Playstation (398 days old)

  Games as art? Yeah - why not? Pictures are art. Well, art is art. Confused? Yeah - me too now. Moving on; music is art. Moving pictures are art. So, why shouldn't a combination of them all be art. To … more

• SNK - Koudelka From 3DOkid ^Pro in The Original Playstation (405 days old)

  So? What's wrong with this? It's like an RPG version of Resident Evil and it's not bad. It is set in Wales, which is good, although naturally the entire populace of Aberystwyth doesn't speak, as you m… more

• Namco - Galaxian 3 From 3DOkid ^Pro in The Original Playstation (416 days old)

  I'm big fan of Namco. I like Tekken. I like Ace Combat and I like Ridge Racer. And in July 2006 I had this to say about Starblade http://fz1-3do.blog.co.uk/2006/07/23/starblade~982287 It's fair to… more

• Infogames - V-Rally From 3DOkid ^Pro in The Original Playstation (417 days old)

  Often when writing for a blog, you think to yourself where am I going to start? Where do I begin?Well, there was no sodding problem today – I knew precisely where I was going to start: Edge Magazin… more

• Team 17 -- X2 From 3DOkid ^Pro in The Original Playstation (417 days old)

  Right, so, another day, another game. And today, it's a SHUMP, or for the less pretentious: A shoot 'em up. For the truly dumb: a game a bit like Space Invaders. Well, actually, almost exactly like sp… more

• Club GTi coming to the PS3 From 3DOkid ^Pro in The Original Playstation (439 days old)

  This was, as I recall, a pretty good arcade machine. You got to drive hot-hatches like the Mk1 Golf, Fiat Panda and of cause the Mini Cooper - the British Leyland one, not the tank sized BMW one, and … more

• Rare Playstation titles winging there way to me. From 3DOkid ^Pro in The Original Playstation (439 days old)

  So, I flogged a load of DVD's, some Saturn games (whatever that is eh?) a bunch of Dreamcast games, a selection of Video Game Magazines, GameCube stuff, Xbox stuff, 360 stuff, it all went to eBay, mea… more

• PSP Cables From 3DOkid ^Pro in The Original Playstation (439 days old)

  I wanted to show you some games for the PSP. I wanted screen shots from my favourites: Wangan Midnight and Intial D. Yet, alas, it was not to be. I bought the wrong cable. Don't let this happen to … more

• Monster Rancher by Temco. From 3DOkid ^Pro in The Original Playstation (441 days old)

  My cute little FangGup. How I miss him. No, actually, he was hideous. He looked like a hairy single sperm. He was born on the game; Monster Rancher, when I impregnated my PS1 with a Star Wars audio CD… more

• Resistance Fall of Man 2. From 3DOkid ^Pro in The Original Playstation (441 days old)

  I liked the original. I did. Well - maybe I did. It's difficult to tell often whether you like a launch title or not because often your opinions can be tainted by the fact, in this case, you paid the … more

• Nightmare Creatures From 3DOkid ^Pro in The Original Playstation (441 days old)

  I paid the princely sum of £2.99 for this game (Nightmare Creatures) and besides the weird sort of leaping motion of the main character, tw*ting the monsters with a big stick is kind of fun. ...bu… more

• Retro back to the modern Playstation ...or something. From 3DOkid ^Pro in The Original Playstation (445 days old)

  If you have any Playstation 3, you can play any Playstation 1 game. If you have a Playstation 2, you can play any Playstation 1 game. If you have a PSP, and access to magic, and smoke, and mirrors, yo… more

• PS games people love because they are in vogue. From 3DOkid ^Pro in The Original Playstation (445 days old)

  The games industry, as any long time observer will have spotted, goes through peaks, troughs and fads. Pong and Centipede turned into text-adventures, which in turn gave way to platformers, then we ha… more

• Games for the PSP worth a punt. From 3DOkid ^Pro in The Original Playstation (445 days old)

  Ah, the much lamented Playstation Portable. It is, quite possibly, one of the best hand-held consoles ever made. Well, it is for me. I admire Nintendo, I admire what they have done with the DS and the… more

• Resident Evil From 3DOkid ^Pro in The Original Playstation (445 days old)

  Resident Evil for the PS1. Woah! This brings back memories. I remember reading about a game called 'Biohazard' in the official U.K. Playstation magazine in '96, and at the time I just wanted it. Th… more
