Hammerfestus | 3,833 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 I’d like to hear what sort of PlayStation stuff everyone collects? For me it’s PS1 (over 500 titles) mostly. I’ve actually been shrinking the collection lately. I’m always on the lookout for RPGs and frustratingly enough, Lightspan titles. I also accidentally collected a bunch of PS2 stuff and my PS4 collection slowly continues to grow. I’m finding that in fact with some digging it is not all shooters.

spacepup | 2,404 Administrator · Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 I am a huge PlayStation fan and collect it way more than Nintendo or any other company. I collect games for pretty much all PlayStation consoles if they are games I like - but I probably have more PlayStation 2 games than any other console. It is probably my favorite console of all time if I HAD to pick one, and there are just too many great games to even count. Over the past couple years, I've been specifically more interested in PS1 and PS2 demos, and and interesting import titles across all PS consoles. I have approximately 200 USA PS2 demos, as well as about 200 Japan PS2 demos/taikenbans. The collection set that I'm quite happy with and has been particularly difficult, is that I have 36 of 42 USA PS2 "Trade Demos" which were PS2 samples used by reviewers, etc. Most of them are actually full games and not demos, and they usually differ just slightly from the final retail release. There are 6 remaining that I still need, and they are VERY hard to find. I have lots of extra PS1 and PS2 games that I need to get around to selling, so hopefully once things settle down here I can help out some other PlayStation collectors here!

Man, demo collecting must be quite the adventure. I don’t imagine after a certain point it’s very easy to find new stuff. At one point I tried to get into PS1 demos but It was too much for me.

For US, I at least know for the most part which ones exist. For Asian Regions, I had a decent list, but I’ve expanded it time and time again, finding new items that I couldn’t find referenced anywhere on the internet, even using Japanese searches and pouring through places like Yahoo Auctions, etc. So it is kinda neat to keep finding new things and documenting them. I’d never go after the full ps2 retail set, and I typically don’t do fullsets anyway, so I enjoy the smaller subsets, like with demos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pendragonx | 117 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 I have a bunch of PS2/PS3 titles ... I'm on the lookout for more classic PS1 rpg's though .. When I get some time I'll upload a snap of my small colledtion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Californication | 1,477 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 (edited) I love me some Playstation. I collect PS 1- 4. I love the PS1 the most and still get impressed by the power that little machine has. I have 22 PS1 ntsc titles and will be done collecting for ntsc games I want to own with probably 8 more games. I don't play turn based rpg's so I save a lot on the PS1, 2 and SNES. I still have plenty of games to get on the jntsc side of my PS1 collection.

Bubbapauls | 250 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 I’m starting to get into PS1 and PS2 stuff. Though I do pick up PS3 & 4 games at garage sales. My interest are RPGs, Shoot em ups, Horror, and Platforming. I would say I actively collect original PlayStation games the most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonebone | 1,307 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 I only collect some PS1 stuff. I had a full longbox set (102 games IIRC) CIB but then trimmed to just my favorites, about a dozen or so. Still have around 200-250 PS1 CIBs and casually collect it going forward. Twisted Metal 2 is one of my top 5 favorite games all time, regardless of platform. And this is coming from a NES -> Gen -> N64 kid! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICrappedMyPants | 302 Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Question: Should I play the original RE2 before the remake? I’ve been holding off on playing the latter in case I should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been holding off on playing the latter in case I should. If you're actively into PS1 games, yes. It's a great game, and IMO the BEST RE game. It's entirely worth playing both IMO, but definitely play the original before the remake, and if you're going to only play one, play the remake.

Hammerfestus | 3,833 Posted October 25, 2019 Author Share Posted October 25, 2019 Is the remake significantly different? I just assumed it was shinier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICrappedMyPants | 302 Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Thanks @Gloves! Yeah, I heard that the remake changed some stuff and made it first person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammerfestus | 3,833 Posted October 25, 2019 Author Share Posted October 25, 2019 Huh. So they made it RE7. I don’t really know how I feel about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICrappedMyPants | 302 Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Yeah, basically, but it got good reviews. Then again, I was disappointed with RE4 despite it being a great game. It no longer felt like survival horror. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacepup | 2,404 Administrator · Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 I thought you guys might be interested in this....maybe hah. People often ask what sort of PlayStation things I'm talking about when I say I collect random and obscure items, mostly from Japan, so here is just one example of one of the sort of 'subsets' that I've been collecting over the years. I present to you a mini collection of Japanese PlayStation 2 Modem and Network-type Accessory / Hardware + Software releases. There are others, but these are most of the popular ones. Eventually, I think I'll make a blog or something to highlight some of the strange and interesting things I have, but in the meantime, checkout the pic! Maybe there is one other person out there in North America who actually cares about this stuff like I do! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s just so much of it and I don’t have the first clue what anything on any of the boxes says. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
