Sony PlayStation
Here is my PlayStation, this one was donated to me recently with no games, no controllers, and no cables, luckily, I already had a PSone, and all the leads and controllers are compatible So lets get started, We all know that the PlayStation was originally to be an add on for the Super Nintendo, but Nintendo pulled out and developed the N64 instead, this left Sony to develop the add on into a full game console, and beat Nintendo at their own game Years before though, Sony had developed a MSX compatible machine, so were not new to the gaming market Obligatory related Wikipedia pages PlayStation and SNES-CD The top of the unit has the disc tray with release button, a toggle power switch with LED, and a reset button The front of the unit has two controller ports, and two memory card slots, while the rear has a serial I/O port, AV multi out, AC in, and a parallel I/O port under a removable cover The controller with the analogue sticks, this is from the PSone Here are the memory cards, the two football cards were bought for £1 each in a clearence sale This is the RF adaptor, although RGB and RCA leads were available, this is from my PSone If the PlayStation is booted without a game disc, you get this screen, this is the memory card management and CD player options Software I'm sure I had more games than these, but I've obviously put them somewhere safe, and now can't find them anywhere! Once I find them, I'll add them here Crash Bandicoot Monopoly Good news everyone, I found the rest of games Barbie Super Sports Gran Turismo 2 Bratz CT Special Forces Planet of the Apes The Lion King Rayman Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone Deathtrap Dungeon Barbie Explorer Spiderman Riding Star Detective Barbie Jurassic Park Warpath X-Men 2 Mutant Academy Monsters Inc Scare Island Action Man Mission Extreme Alien Trilogy Tomb Raider Tony Hawk's Skateboarding Colin McRae Rally Fighting Force Gauntlet Legends Software updates I found these discs recently Original Playstation demo disc Tomb Raider I, II , and III demo disc Another copy of Rayman, this one has the PlayStation logo in black and silver, as opposed to the white and black like the one further up the page Hardware updates Another controller More hardware updates This grubby Playstation is my second machine, it cost me £5 with no leads or controllers, I have not tested it yet but I did give it a wipe over, although I was assured it was fully working by the seller Top and bottom Front and back Laser assembly For more retro hardware check out my online museum here
