Almost 30 years ago to the day the video game industry changed forever, as Sony launched its first console in Japan.
With sales of around 100 million units, the PSOne would cement Sony as major player in the gaming space, where it continues to enjoy success to this day. Indeed, we’re just weeks away from the launch of the PS5 Pro, which has proven popular in spite of its massive price tag.
Key to Sony’s success was a marketing campaign aimed at a slightly older crowd, something that was backed up by a huge and varied game library.
To celebrate 30 years of the original PlayStation, we’ve put together a list of the ten best PSOne games based on their Metacritic ranking.
A true nostalgia trip, the top ten list contains something for everyone, from classic role-playing games and cinematic adventures, to iconic racing releases and extreme sports.
