This is about the classic games I play from the PS1:


 * Cool Boarders 2 (1997)
 * 12 Years Ago: I loved this game. Gnarly musics and tracks as well. The competition mode is good, but hard, and landing the tricks is challenging, and I wasn't able to complete the game since it got old and it broke down on me. Plus, I suck at this game.
 * 12 Years Later: When this game came out on the PlayStation Store, I was eager to buy this game and me and my parents suddenly have nostalgia as me and my family remembered this game and reffered it as an "old game". Despite this, I was STILL unable to beat this game, because it's just like 12 years back; hard and challenging, but overall fun. I CAN'T EVEN LAND A SINGLE BACKFLIP, LET ALONE A TRICK COMBO DX!!!! Plus, I still suck at this game.


 * Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage! (1999)
 * 10 Years Ago: This game is filled with fun and adventure, but alas, I never got the first game (yet). I'm used to take down baddies and collection of what this game call it "gems", which is more worth than a $20 bill. Even though I completed two of the worlds, I came to the fional boss to defeat Ripto and it was HARD AS HECK! Unfourtunately, the game broke down before I even managed to beat this game, thus leaving me a defeated player.
 * 10 Years Later: When Spyro 2 came out on the PlayStation Store, I was filled with gleefull-ness and immidieately bought this game without having second thought. It plays like what it feels like back in '99! I single handedly managed to beat easy (although some daunting) side missions and collected these springy orbs and collected colored gems along the way. These baddies are no match for my 18, yet my-retaining-8-year-old self, because I showed them that I am not scared of them. I finally got a chance to even the score with Ripto, the final boss of the game, and despite some abuse he inflicted upon, I managed to single handedly defeat him, and finally got to Dragon Shores. I managed to ultimately complete the game 100% and I said to myself "FINALLY, AFTER 10 WHOLE YEARS OF WAITING, I HAVE FINALLY BEAT SPYRO 2!!!".


 * Ten Pin Alley (1996)
 * 13 Years Ago: This game is all about hilarity. I laughed so hard, that I forget on how to land a perfect 10. The funniest part is that I play as a guy 9with immense power) and he LAUNCHES the ball in the air and LITERALLY smashes his face by a bowling ball that was descending down XD! I lmao'd so hard! Despite this, I'm so eager to land perfect strikes, yet all it did was throw the bowling ball into OSMEWHERE it should'nt even go (as in out of lane)! The competition mode is SO hard! No matter how skilled you are, these AIs are what? 1337, with little or no mistakes whatsoever! It was hard to the max! Ugh. Oh, and the game broke down a few years later, so.... yeah.
 * 13 Years Later: When this game came out at the PS Store, it gave me flashback about the hilarious times when I was 5. I wanted this game so bad, and I did. It plays like it was back in '96, and it never got old from humor. The competition mode is still hard to beat, and I still suck at landing a perfect 10 strike. Déjà vu, amirite?


 * Tekken 2 (1996)
 * 14 Years Ago: I played the demo version, but that's it. No music whatsoever, besides the intro. The only two playable characters are Jun and Lei, but I have never tried out most of the characters. I used to play this game with my nephew, but that's just it. I never got achance to get the full game until it's too late.
 * 14 Years Later: I said to myself with joy "Finally, Tekken 2 came out at the PlayStation Store!! I'm gonna buy this and play this like it was back 14 years ago!" I even got a chance to try out all the characters (including unlockable ones) and by gosh, this game was HARD! I even put the game difficulty on "easy" and yet I still get my rear handed to an AI (at Stages 5-10) numerous times! URGH!! But nevertheless, I showed these dumb AIs back in '96 who's the REAL player; ME! And after a whole 14 years of waiting, I finally beat this game once and for all!


 * Bloody Roar II (1999)
 * 11 Years Ago: I played the demo, but never got the full game. It was REALLY awesome when it comes to like a human vs. human, or human vs. beast and vice-versa. These characters are not only awesome, but so are their beast forms! AWESOMENESS! Too bad I never got the full game before it's too late, so I was dissapoint.
 * 11 years Later: After I managed to beat the first Bloody Roar game, the second one came out and I was struck with flashback; it's the same game I played on the demo and it was now released at the PS Store! I immidieately bought this game and it is INDEED liek it was in the demo version, except with all the playable characters, the option, story, arcade, etc.! I haven't completed the game so far, but I can assure you, if you're great at fighting games, then this is the great game to play. I waited 11 years for this 2nd game to come out, and it did. Sweetness!
