Great video. If memory serves, wasn't Street Fighter The Movie also a launch title in the UK? I'm sure there were a handful of copies at Future Zone during launch weekend, but most people were picking up Toshinden and Ridge Racer.
3D Lemmings' camera shows how revolutionary was the adoption of dualshock. Even if you compare with the n64, camera control with the C buttons was very primitive.
@@HowtoRetro I was thinking about those controllers when I played Sega Saturn emulator on the 8bitDo 6-button sega controller vs a Xbox One controller. Those dual analog sticks are given on modern gaming, but are such game changer (literally) by the time.
Aside from smashing the Saturn (although I loved the Saturn too), it was such a big leap from my Mega Drive and Amiga, definitely stands out more in my memory. The PS2 stands out for me because of the high price people paid for Japanese imports before the UK launch, it seemed so out of reach!
i will never get tired of ps1 retrospective videos. From launch titles to the console itself, i love it!
Me too, I binge watch playlists of thing things! 🤣

You're spot on there, the dual analogue sticks changed so much with 3D games.

I always remembered ape escape as the first proper dual analog designed game
So good to see this!
Didnt know about Rapid Reload, looks like a game I would buy at launch, thx :P
I wasn't familiar with it either until I compiled this list, not a bad game at all!
I did Use to Play PS1 Games on PS2 with PS1 Memory card Via Composite but not anymore because I tried on PS3 via HDMI and Hard Drive
PS2 had the best Sony console launch imo but PS1 was the most memorable.
