I basically inherited my PSX. Story time.
When I was somewhere in middle school there was a short period of time when my uncle lived with my grandparents, and I'd play it there. His library wasn't extensive, but he was fond of RPGs, so that's what I played. Off the top of my head, that's where I got my first taste of Wild Arms 1, FFVII, FFVIII, and Chocobo's Dungeon 2, along with a few budget titles whose names I can't recall. Managed to beat the two Final Fantasy games, but not the others.
There were also a few demo disks. The only games I remember from them were Gex, Blasto, Tomba, Einhander, Medievil, MGS, and Ape Escape. Despite knowing at least one was a PlayStation Underground disk and diving for a long time through EmuParadise, I haven't yet been able to figure out exactly which demo disks they were, so that's been kind of my emulation white whale for a while. Regardless, much as I enjoyed the demos, I never got the full version of any of those.
Now I'm not sure exactly how or why my uncle's PSX came to me, but around the same time I entered high school, it did. Wild Arms came with it - though sadly not the others above - as well as Persona and Abe's Oddysee. I collected Chrono Chross, Wild Arms 2, and RPG Maker on my own from there.
The PSX itself no longer functions, but I'm pretty sure I still have all the games from my high school collection to this day.
Anyways. If the list of games that gets me hyped seems a little off or incomplete, now you know why, I guess. But seeing Chocobo's Dungeon pop back up on the Switch and now Wild Arms (and FFVII to a lesser extent) on this is basically like Square and Sony handing me a pair of late birthday presents.
Shame one of em's a hundred bucks though.
