The Playstation is 23 years old. It’s already been drinking legally in pubs for 5 years.
Those were our halcyon days, back when the Playstation 1 reigned supreme as the one true console. The ugly grey shoebox was hardly a design masterpiece but it had some of the best games of all time; games like Crash Bandicoot, Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back, Crash Team Racing. And Croc.
Ok, nobody played Croc.
But how well do you know your Resident Evil from your Silent Hill and your Dino Crisis from your Tomb Raider?
Let’s find out, shall we. All you have to do is pick the game from the glorious low-res screenshots. I will accept nothing less than full marks.
