The PlayStation turns 30 today (December 3), and it had a lot of us at Insider Gaming thinking about the time we’ve spent with Sony’s first console. From experience Metal Gear Solid for the first time to the chaos that was Twisted Metal, there were no shortage of fun games to pass the time in the 90s.
So we decided to have a little fun and put together our lists of our favorite original PlayStation games. Now, we’re not saying these are the best games ever made. These are just the ones we had the most fun with in our time playing the console.
It’s always fun to look back at what we loved. And who knows, maybe there’s a game you forgot about that you want to revisit or play for the first time. Check out our favorites, and let us know what yours are in the official Insider Gaming Forums.
