If you’re a few years old, I’m sure you had the first PlayStation, also known as PS1, or at least tried it. She came out at Christmas 1994 and for a long time she was the queen of entertainment for children and not so children. But did you know that currently you could have all the ps1 games saved on a PC?
Today we are going to see how many games came out over time, which was the last and how much it would weigh to have the entire collection on our computers.
How many games were there on PS1?
We all know the typical ones, who hasn’t ever had a FIFA for example? However, there were many more games than we think, specifically we are talking about 2,418 titles. This is the number of them that went on the market.
It is a huge amount to talk about a time in which we found ourselves. Likewise, the PS3, one of the best sellers, had 2,278, which would correspond to a smaller number of games than the first version of Sony. Although of course, the quality and production time of each of them is not the same.
What was the last game that came out for PlayStation 1?
In case you find it curious, although the PS2 came out in the year 2000, PSX games were manufactured until many years later, although depending on the place it was one game or another that would end up closing sales.
- FIFA Football 2005 on October 12, 2004 in the United States,
- Hugo: Black Diamond Fever in 2005 for Europe
- Legendary Hits: Dew Prism in 2007 in Japan
These would be the last titles that would be manufactured for this console. Some are surprised that so many years later its production was still profitable.
Although as data, the PS2 did not fall short, because 14 years after its launch, sagas like Pro Evolution Soccer continued to release their video games adapted to it. It is clear that being the best-selling console in history was profitable, and that the PS3 had already been on the market for 8 years.
How much did all the PS1 games weigh together?
This is a very surprising fact, it is true that we all imagine that obviously a game from 1995 cannot be the same as one from 2023, the graphics and functionalities that we have now are immensely greater than 20 years ago. However, the weight of those games was very small.
Those 2,418 titles they would enter just 1.49TB, that is, we could have them all digitally stored on a conventional computer. Something very striking if we compare it with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare itself, which has a size of 231 GB. That is to say, we would only get about 7 games like this in the same space as all those in the history of PS1
All of them, or at least most of them, can be found for “free” on the internet, therefore, I am sure that some collector has built his own PS1 console on his computer and has a large part (if not all) of these video games available. to reminisce about old times whenever you want.
And you, do you miss any? Has seeing this article made you nostalgic? At least I have wanted to play one of those titles that stuck with us when we were little.
