The Playstation Story
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

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-

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.”

play should be a Playstation. 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.

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 high-
quality 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

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

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

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

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 ca-
pability. 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 in-
clude only a demo disc with the Playstation upon its release
in 1995; this demo disc would be updated frequently. Di-
rect 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, how-

ever, 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 in-
version 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 de-
sign 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) con-
solidated 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 offi-
cial 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 sys-
tem to a PC, basic development software, and a set of mas-
sive 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 sys-
tem. Many felt that capabilities of Yaroze development
software and support was limited because Sony was reluc-
tant 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 con-
test prize in 1998 to commemorate the sale of the ten mil-
lionth 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 tex-
ture 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.” Win-
ners 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 use-
ful, as neither has a lockout chip, so CD-r games and for-
eign titles will work without problems. Buyers should ask
for the serial number, however; a PAL system would be of
little use in the US.

Sony once called

Aquanaut’s Holi- Aquanaut’s Holiday
day an “explora- Artdink | Sony | 1996 | Simulation
tion quest.”
Though the two-di-
mensional fish may Certainly one of the stranger titles released for the
look primitive to- Playstation, Artdink’s Aquanaut’s Holiday has been described
day, the originality as a “Zen game.” An underwater world, with hundreds of
of the gameplay re-
mains. species of fish, ruins and ghost ships, awaits your explora-
tion. 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.

Castlevania: SotN
Konami | Konami | 1997 | Action
THE PLAYSTATION IS SYNONYMOUS with 3D - a

number of publishers had difficulty getting approval to re-
lease 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 man-
aged, 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.

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 low-
budget, 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, brightly-
colored 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 spot-
on. Particularly in the 2nd and 3rd 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.

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 glow-
ingly 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 ar-
rows 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 Ameri-
can 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), third-
party 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 school-
children assigned to play DDR during their gym classes.
The game even includes a built-in calorie counter. Who
said videogames were bad for you?

Final Fantasy VII
Squaresoft | Sony | 1997 | RPG
THERE CAN BE NO DOUBT ABOUT IT: Final Fan-

tasy 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 follow-
ing, 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. Doz-
ens 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 gener-
ated 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. In-
game, prerendered backgrounds allowed for environmen-
tal graphics that also impressed with their detail. The char-
acters, in full 3D, showed personality. Cloud with his gi-
gantic 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.

Despite poor sales

on the Saturn in
Grandia
Japan, Game Arts Game Arts | Sony | 1999 | RPG
acquired the rights
to port the game to Game Arts, known for their Lunar series on the Sega CD,
the Playstation.
Newly RPG-en-
released Grandia in December 1997 for the Sega Saturn in
thused Sony picked Japan, hoping for the success that Squaresoft had garnered
up the US publish- with Final Fantasy VII. Although Grandia was much less
ing rights. 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 re-

defined 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 se-
ries 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 near-
identical 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 Simu-
lation 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 play-
ers that the Square button, the brake, must actually be used
in order to complete the race with a winning time. Front-
wheel and rear-wheel drive were not simply listings in a
menu, but rather attributed with distinct positive and nega-
tive 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.

Hot Shots Golf
Clap Hanz | Sony | 2000 | Sports - Golf
IT’S ORIGINAL JAPANESE TITLE is perhaps more fit-

ting: 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 intro-

duced flair to golf videogames, and was rewarded by mas-
sive worldwide sales and acclaim. Hot Shots had cartoon-
style 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 eas-
ily join in a game. A nine-hole match can be played in a
relaxing half-hour; no forty-hour story arcs must be fin-
ished. Peter Jacobsen’s Golden Tee Golf showed how popu-
lar 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.

hicles 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 oppo-
nent, thus extinguishing one of his opponent’s four “lights.”
Intelligent Qube
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 inexo-
rably (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 deto-
nated 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 pat-
terns, as the player slowly begins to see chains of explo-
sions four and five moves ahead of the detonation. The
goal in every level is to hear the Tron-style overlord con-
gratulate 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 pat-
terns 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 fantas-
tic run, “360” fades slowly onscreen. As far as the Qubes
are concerned, Einstein has nothing on their new master.

Metal Gear Solid
Konami | Konami | 1998 | Action
THE 90s WERE A DECADE OF shoot first-ask ques-

tions later videogames. Doom. Quake. Tomb Raider. Duke
Nukem. Konami’s Metal Gear Solid takes gamers in the
opposite direction, where sneaking around corners and hid-
ing 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 threat-
ening to fire nuclear weapons unless the US meets its de-
mands. The group has also kidnapped two high-value offi-
cials. 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 “cin-
ematic” brand of action. The movie-style camera, espe-
cially 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 top-
ics 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. Fur-
ther, 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 reck-
oned by many to have the best story and gameplay of the
series.

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 devel-
oper 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 out-
siders produced their first game, starring a rapping dog
named PaRappa on his quest to win the heart of a sun-
flower 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 paper-
thin 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, re-
leased 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.

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 ob-
scure Famicom release “Sweet Home” and PC classic Alone
in the Dark. Prerendered backgrounds allowed for graph-
ics 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 be-

fore 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 Rac-
coon 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 origi-

nal. 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. Depend-
ing 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.

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 conver-
sion 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 fight-
ers is rightfully consigned to history. An enormous num-
ber of moves and combinations means that skill and expe-
rience 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 charac-
ters 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 oppo-
nent is hit with the ball or allows it to touch the ground,
they suffer that damage.

Tomb Raider
Core Design | Eidos | 1996 | Action
AUTHOR DAVID CROQUET APTLY described her as

“Indiana Jones in drag.” She had her own magazine in Ger-
many, appeared in Nike commercials, was portrayed in two
Hollywood films by Angelina Jolie, and served as an inter-
national sex symbol for a decade. She’s been a source of
controversy for her physics-defying body. More impres-
sively, 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 frus-
trating jumping puzzles, while battling the occasional en-
emy. Big breasts alone are not enough to make a game
successful – many titles have featured attractively accou-
tered 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 inexora-
bly 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 Fac-
tor. 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 audi-
ence for videogames and make games a true mass market
phenomenon. The box said “Tomb Raider starring Lara
Croft.” And a star she was.

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 pub-
lished, 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, foot-
ball, 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 dis-
concerting 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.

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 burgeon-
ing 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. Seem-
ingly 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 in-
cluded 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 sepa-
rate 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.”

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 sup-
ported by the Playstation.

Lightspan WHILE THE 3DO, CD-i AND other 32-bit
systems were marketing themselves as “mul-
timedia” systems, the Playstation was always
concerned with games first. Or was it? Be-
ginning in 1995, a small American company
called Lightspan Technologies reckoned that
Playstations were cheaper for poor school dis-
tricts than PCs and thus began work on a se-
ries 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 fur-
ther pre-1997 titles beyond those listed to the
right. Rumored games include “Cool Math”
and “Story Time Theatre.” The games come

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. Collec-
tors 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 Eu-
rope, all unreleased in the US, which might be of interest
to importers. Of course, this list is by no means compre-
hensive - 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 los-
ers’ 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-En-
glish 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 mix-

ture 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 en-
emies 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 scroll-
ing 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 con-
taining 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 be-
fore 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 Leg-
end. 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 re-
leased 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 im-
porters. The game sells for over $30.
Rare EU/JP Games [106 | 107]
Expensive EU/JP Games
RARE GAMES ARE ONE THING. The dedicated col-
lector 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 Renais-
sance (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 Ac-
claim 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 fin-
ishing moves are performed, the game pauses in order to
load in the data due to the PlayStation’s limited RAM. Mor-
tal 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, Com-
mando and Gun Smoke. Enjoy arcade perfect conversions,
browse galleries filled with original artwork and view spe-
cial secrets and tips. This is the complete collection of clas-
sic 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-lan-
guage 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 fight-
ing 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 pa-
per. 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 work-

ing 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 se-
quel. 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, mak-
ing 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.

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 pro-
filed 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 con-
troller (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 Com-
mand 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 de-
gree movement or mouse compatible games. It’s also a
welcome device for those users with wrists sore from fre-
quent 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
North America
Glove
DEVELOPED SPECIFICALLY FOR the PlayStation, the
Glove lets users move objects up, down, right, left or diago-
nally on the game screen without the need to aim. Arcade-
style buttons are located at the fingertips, allowing users
easy access and one-handed control. It is made from plas-
tic, 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 bar-
gain 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 fat-
burning 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 compat-
ible 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 mak-
ing it fairly rare and difficult to find through normal chan-
nels. The games included with the mouse are puzzle-ori-
ented. Two similar pictures are displayed side by side. Us-
ing 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 Lem-
mings.
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 Ja-
pan, 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).
