Quiz: How Well Do You Know the PS1?

5/15 PS1 Casual - Were you even alive in 1994?

Well considering I was only 3 I can be forgiven 😂

@UltimateOtaku91 You are forgiven.

7/15. I feel like I should have done better, but thems the breaks

6/15. Honestly surprised about Gran Turismo. But then the “photo realistic” replays were a big draw at the time, and the CarPG gameplay was fresh. Great game.

I got 4 right and they were by accident so I know nothing. In my defense, I was 2 in 1994. Had a PlayStation 1 when I was probably like 5-6 but never beat anything because I was a kid.

I figured I'd struggle a bit as I really didn't get into Playstation until PS2. We had an N64 instead as a kid.

Still, I got 6/15 so not too shabby. I would've gotten 7 but I didn't think to include Cloud in the count for FF7 party members since he is the main protagonist.🤦‍♂️ My bad!

12/15 woop woop! Awesome lol, couple of lucky guesses. I did love the PSOne to be fair. No way was I getting that pocket station one tho lol not even guessing

Wait did the PS1 really come out in 94?

I was born in '94 but I only got 3 right lol

9/15. I’ll take that! Gutted I got the MGS save question wrong though!

@ATaco in japan it came out in 94, i think everywhere else got it in 95

Got 10/15, should be 12/15 but my fingers got slip.

One of the best console ever <3

9/15, not bad. Made a couple of stupid mistakes that I'm kicking myself for.

9 out of 10 for me.word up son

11 out of 15, not bad! I was in 5th grade when it came out, I only had mine 4 years later thanks to my older brother. In Portugal, Sega Saturn was very popular when it came out, but because Sega stopped supporting it very quickly, most of my friends shifted to the Playstation. The cheaper price and awesome games played a big part in that too. I played the heck out of it! Great memories!

@ATaco only in Japan. It was released elsewhere in ‘95.

@playstation1995 there are 15 questions. Not so word up, eh?

Holy...11/15, "PS1 Expert - You're a true PlayStation veteran!"? Not bad for someone who never actually owned one of these things--had a brief Sega flirtation with the Genesis, but ended up returning to Nintendo afterward and stayed by their side ever since...

Lol getting ps1 casual and it asking if I was even alive lmao no I wasn't not for another year and I played all my ps1 jrpg's on ps2

I FORGOT VINCIENT NOOOOOO

@SilentBluntman. I meant i got 1 wrong.haha.word up son

Got 6, would have been 8 but questions 9&10!

Could have gone anyway as all those games are good 👍🏻

1.Ah yes CTR/Crash Bash in there too.

2.Ah the block question, I know it's something blocks to a mega byte or kilobyte but either way. Blocks are such a dumb measurement they really should have just make it simpler but no all of them used blocks and it made it more confusing not helpful.

Also when you use a PS2 and it says 8KB for most games or higher ones like 32KB or 40KB for GT1 or GT2 then it's just confusing. So I guess that makes it more.

So in a way you could fit 8KB games with about 128 which the cards for PS3 you create are 128KB card sizes..... So 128 divide 8 is 16..... so would that be 15 because 0 is 16 in hexadecimal...... I'm so confused. Ok so my maths/IT understanding is correct.

But a kilobyte is 2 blocks...... Make this make sense of Sony's and others to what other sources say.

If this site is to be believed https://www.unitconverters.net/data-storage/block-to-megabyte.htm none of those answers are accurate, so however Sony/Nintendo/Sega/Microsoft did blocks versus how others do blocks is just confusing, worst meaning of measure ever.

Same site but megabit then megabyte and what you have 1MB is 2048 blocks, but 256 blocks for 1 megabit, uh tell me how that makes sense Push Square I don't get what source I should use to answer that question, what source did you use for this question?

3.Ah the quote people love to say for the price at E3.

4.Have no idea just guessed. All seemed viable options.

5.Had to guess, never played, don't care to.

6.Was thinking I know it's hundreds but early or not and went hang on.

7.Easy to know after the prototype/deal. Got to know that history.

8.Not played them but was pretty sure on this one as the titles I remember vaguely in such an order.

9.Tricky one I always remember sort of the sales then the scores for them hmm. Many up there do get tricky to remember.

10.Always an easy one. I love when people probably go wait racing games get up there. Yeah not just GTA later but a series with the competition but didn't have the appeal of the things it had. I enjoy the series but even still I think the appeal compared to other competitors mechanics yes the others are better but the polish/dream objects and more it has besides solid progression yeah I see the appeal for average people liking it and especially as many arcade games were a bit fair for the time but licenses and other stuff make a difference, compared to the slop of the genre nowadays.

11.Had to guess.

12.Had to guess but one was clear, the other was a little studio, the others were under other ownership or came later. Bend had devs that made Bubsy 3D even before whatever happened after right?

13.Had to guess, never played.

14.Had to guess. Guessed wrong oh well, never played, wouldn't ever know anyway.

15.The colours were tricky to remember. Blue always seems like a common enough colour, I remember seeing green (and not because the board is green). Red seems like a common enough colour and hoping not a pink.

Yellow seems particular but hmm. Didn't get it right but yeah not bad.

Knew it, to cheated and looked up to say my 'actual score'. I like to be honest, I do a see if I can find out the answer and a this is what I actually did know, guessed randomly correct and know never will get right.

I barely play any of the acclaimed games because they don't interest me I do console history not game details like the ones in these questions unless I actually played it or researched it so I'd have no clue. Like many PS games I have no interest in most of the notable third parties in the slightest.

1.Easy guess that's 1,
2.Got right after thinking it over so 2,
3.Knew it immediately 3,
4.Had to look it up so still on 3,
5.Had to look it up so still on 3,
6.Knew enough, random guessed still but right so 4,
7.Knew immediately so 5,

8.Had it in mind, was correct for the order I thought it was but still looked it up to confirm but was still thinking it before looked it up, I'd say 6 as I did have it in mind before looking it up.

9.Knew enough but still looked it up I'll say staying at 6 for that as I wasn't completely sure and didn't have an answer in mind properly.
10.Knew immediately as I always do of PS1/PS2 sales of GT games being so high from those eras. So 7.
11.Had to look it up, never seen/heard and never would have known so staying on 7.

12.Knew it was Psygn, that or Poly as ND was later due to Universal and had Genesis games prior to Universal anyway I think. Bend was later I knew that. So 8 I knew pretty well Psyn was the case.

13.Had to guess. Never heard anything about it, I get why as like others of the time or God of War PS2 you had different ways to save. Even Metropolis Mania having a laptop to save. I'm used to it in games of the era PS2 or PS1 but I just never heard of how you do in MGS at all. Never played, don't care to. 8 it stays

14.Never heard anything about it, never played, don't care to. 8 it stays.

15.Got wrong, I was not sure what colours existed for the Pocket Station I usually see the white/clear white and not so much the other colours.

@UltimateOtaku91 I was 1

3/15 (many questions in regard to game titles that were of no interest to myself)

While I was very well alive in 1994 and clearly remember numerous events of that year.

3/15, all but one a guess. I'm at the bottom of the upper 70% 🤓.

15/15, I'm getting old. I remember buying most of this stuff in store.

@SuntannedDuck2 PS1 memory cards are 128KB. The blocks are 8KB - yes that makes 16 blocks. Only 15 blocks are useable because 1 block was reserved for the file system data, not because of hexidecimal...

0/15
I didn't participate because I don't play PS1 games like mainstream / hardcore gamers here.
I played completely niche, different games like Dance Dance Revolution, Punky Skunk, Hello Kitty Cube Frenzy, Magical Drop 3, The Kickboxing, K-1, Monster Rancher 2, etc.

12 of 15 with no guesses, knew those 12 straight away

10/15. Some questions I really couldn't answer correctly, others I missed for real. Even so, a good score!!
