PlayStation Year One 20th Anniversary documentary

4.7

A documentary series chronicling every game released for the original PlayStation console has been developed by former Joystiq contributing editor Danny Cowan.

PlayStation Year One covers the console’s historical impact and how its “landmark games and the creators defined modern industry trends.”

The one-hour premiere episode was released today, and it is available below.

It covers the first ten games available on PlayStation’s launch day such as Battle Arena Toshinden, Rayman, Kileak: The DNA Imperative, the story behind the game-to-film adaptation of Street Fighter: The Movie, and Ridge Racer.

If you would like to help fund future episodes of the series as well as other documentary projects in current development, a Patreon campaign has been set up.

Cowan and his partners are also hosting a PlayStation Anniversary stream tonight at 7pm CT/8pm ET on Twitch.

The original PlayStation consoles launched in North America on September 9, 1995.

I barely played my old PS1 because right when I got into gaming at age 12 the PS2 came out, though I do remember playing Crash Bandicoot and Chrono Cross. Tony Hawk Pro Skater was awesome!

I remember I sold my PS1 in a garage sale when I was 6. Worst decision I've made to this very day.

Still play some of the classics on my PSP. Not exactly the same but still fun. I am convinced games were a lot harder then. Crash bandicoot kicked my ass compared to Jak and Daxter.
