xXMunduXx Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 (edited) Found this thing sitting on top of a dumpster with 2 controllers. One controllers's semi dead but the one with the analog sticks works fine.The whole thing is in very good shape apart from some weird brown spots(Looks like some kind of paint).It wouldn't play games properly until I cleaned the laser lenses but now it works absolutely fine.It's a Shame that these things are being thrown out nowadays.Also it seems that the console has a Mod chip since it had a Pirated game inside.I can't wait till I play some classic GTA's on it Edited September 15, 2014 by xXMunduXx Killzone3265, Fireman, Cripto136 and 18 others 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fireman Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 These poor abandoned Playstations, I'm glad you're taking care of it. We should really start a fund for this kind of abuse, dumping a working console into the garbage, terrible. InstantCClassic and Zello 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fireman Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 (edited) If you want a game to play, buy Jade Cocoon, without doubt one of the best games on the PS1 (and exclusive as well). Edited September 16, 2014 by Fireman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should make a commercial showing pictures of old consoles Sega genesis, SNES, Nintendo 64's in the trash and play some sad music only you can make a difference xD Edited September 16, 2014 by Zello DarrinPA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyla Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 How does it feel to have to rely on a memory card to make a save game after all this time? How easy we have it now. I'm considering a PS2 and it's one of the things that has crossed my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXMunduXx Posted September 16, 2014 Author Share Posted September 16, 2014 (edited) I'll try and post a video tomorrow How does it feel to have to rely on a memory card to make a save game after all this time? How easy we have it now. I'm considering a PS2 and it's one of the things that has crossed my mind. I still need to get a Memory card for it and I found a pretty good deal for a PS2 so I might just get one of those Edited September 16, 2014 by xXMunduXx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugar Free Nos Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Man, that makes me want to find and play a copy of Silent Hill. It is a damn shame people are throwing out one of the greatest consoles ever made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coin Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 If you want a game to play, buy Jade Cocoon, without doubt one of the best games on the PS1 (and exclusive as well). Good shout. I never got to play the final game itself due to it being released much later here than any where else (actually, I don't even know if it was released in Aus, honestly) and this was after the PS2 and Xbox had already been released and I'd since moved on. Played the demo to death though and it was quite enjoyable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
universetwisters Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Congrats! It's amazing what you find in dumpsters and other trash things. I found my future wife a perfectly good desk just sitting on the side of the road waiting to get picked up by the trash truck a few months ago back when I used to go to school. I would've taken it with me but I didn't have anywhere to put it and I knew I couldn't lug it back to my house and back in time to catch the bus.

GTA_REEFER Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 SWEET! I remember getting my first PS1. Also remember using a spring from a pen to prop the door open, just so I could see the disc spin and be able to play at the same time. LOL I used to have a demo disc that had a game called Intelligent Cube. I must have played that demo a million times but could never find it ANYWHERE! I would love for that game to come to PSN. Did anyone else ever steal the demo discs out of the packaged game mags as a kid? Its was the only thing I ever really stole (besides a YakBak on accident) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gtamann123 Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Looks like fun. I love retro gaming but the only older console I currently have is a Gamecube. Looking to grow that in the coming months as I plan to add A PS2, N64 and original Xbox to the collection if I can find some at decent prices.

Jerome Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 good finds man! I got my uncle's ps1 a year ago with a m,od chip and I just love this console, it's aging very well, and I was so glad when I could finally buy another ps2 2 years ago (Third one xD)! Playstations should never be treated like that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marmoo Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 (edited) Excellent find! What a machine the PS1 was. Still got my PS1 and PS2 all safe and sound in original boxes. Last console I bought was PS2 (PC gamer) but Kudos to the early Playstations. Decent machines, Decent games Enjoy On a side note, Only proper space sim was Colony Wars on Playstation - Why still to this day have consoles not embraced this genre?
