The good old times.. never can have them again. The new stuff doesn't bring good fun like that stuff did.

There were so many great games compared to what you see now

It's like every generation **** gets worse...

its true, ps1 and ps2 games were beast. games these days dont have the same character as they did, they may be more realistic today, but earlier games were more longer, enjoyable, and i still play them today, versus the few moments i even touch my ps3/360 anymore.

Games became more about graphics and less about gameplay.

I agree. Nothing truly revolutionary happened with this gen of consoles. PSX/PS2 was the era. Im just glad I was around to see it.

Since they stopped production a few weeks ago, I told myself Im going to get a slim again. I just couldnt let the console drift completely away like the psx did and find myself wanting to play some PS2 games on an actual PS2 down the lines. Since then I bought one AND one was given to me for free. I cant bring myself to sell one

i still have my ps1 and ps2,but i put it on a special place along with my first console: a game watch

I'll keep it simple: everything from the past is better as what we have now

For me the Commodore Amiga actually changed the world with 16 bit 4 channel stereo sound, 4096 colors and pre-emptive multitasking by using a custom chipset next to the processor (and all the rest, to much to mention). But that is just me

2001 – PS2 introduces online gaming to the masses

Yes SOCOM lead to many things for me. I had many hundreds of hours of entertainment, I was introduced to the online gamin community, it helped me realize I had a passion for electroincs, it pushed me to sit down and learn a computer (at the time I only had an online PS2 and no PC at all), it pushed me forward into the next generation and into this community.. not to mention all the relationship problems it caused for me

The PS2 was epic and is greatly missed. I am hoping maybe Sony can recapture that magic with the next Playstation. PS3 didn't even come close

I have to agree with you, back in 1986, when I purchased my first Amiga, the Amiga 1000 is my favorite computer out of all the ones I've owned (Vic 20, c64, apple 2, ti99/4a, to many to list) and I still have all my old computers along with the later Amiga's (2000, 3000, 4000 and 4000T with video toaster).

if you would like a good read, the book 'the future was here' by Jimmy Maher is all about the history in the making of the Amiga 1000, from concepts to realities.
