Simple one this, take a trip back in time and reminisce about those classic games you used to play. Via the medium of Youtube!

For starters- Psone crassics!

The Adventures of Alundra-



Crash Bandicoot-



Dino Crisis 2-



Fear Effect 2: Retro Helix



ToCa touring Cars-

I still reckon that the first two ToCa releases had some of the most gripping seat-of-your-pants racing ever seen on a home console. My hands could hardly grip the joypad after spending a whole race fending off an opponent seemingly intent of driving into your exhaust pipe.

TOCA was brilliant, until GRID oddly enough, just isn't accessible enough for me. :(

Me and my best friend loved the original.

That's actually hillarious :lol:!

I'm going to convert the video and use it as my alarm wake up call.

Best video yet. Memories, afterall, for many it's the demos that made the PSone era's depth.

Ah man, Anna Kournikova's Smash Court Tennis was superb. Can't believe I nearly forgot about that.

Crash Bandicoot 3 was better than the first. By a lot.

Ah yes, but you see Crash Bandicoot 2 was so much better than three. They all went downhill after that.

And this is the new one:

What a shame. I tried the demo for the last one, and he doesn't even have his spin attack any more! :shock: :?

Crash 2 is one of the best platformers ever, indeed. But on the platform I find that Spyro 3 comes a close second.

That's disgraceful. I assume those are PS2 graphics? Either way, Spin-move absenteeism means Crash is well and truly dead.
