The PS1 era was a great time to be a gamer. Sony broke into the industry, bringing something new and unexpected, challenging Nintendo’s reign by offering a completely different experience. The PS1 had a rocky development process, with plenty of ups and downs that could have jeopardized its launch, though Sony managed to stay afloat and overcome every obstacle in their path. At one point, Sony was about to release the console in partnership with Nintendo, which resulted in the infamous Nintendo PlayStation - a prototype that never got to see the light of day. Despite all the hustle, Sony finally launched the PS1, and with it, a massive wave of titles started to drop over the years, giving birth to some of the most iconic franchises in the video game industry.
