...who never had a PS1, and had to hike all the way to my friends' houses in order to be able to sample great stuff like Bushido Blade and several Final Fantasies, Tekken, and what nots.
When the PS2 came out, the fact that it could run PS1 games was a HUGE selling point for me. In fact, after I bought it, I didn't even have money to buy a single PS2 game! But I was fine -- I got an used copy of Soulreaver and borrowed several beauts like Final Fantasy Tactics, Driver, etc. Lots of fun.
I've already assembled my collection of PS2 titles -- including games my friends have bought -- which includes all the essentials like FFX, SoulCalibur II, a couple of Metal Gears, and even Time Crisis III (GunCon included). And yet, to this day, I'm still playing classics like Vagrant Story and Chrono Cross.
