What is An Old But Gold Classic Game Console That Relives Your Childhood Days?

 

We’re living in a golden age of gaming, with an incredible range of interactive experiences to suit every taste. Even so, it’s hard not to occasionally pine for the simpler days of the arcade era, where the best retro games - those fantastic 8-bit and 16-bit titles - turned us into the healthy, sleep-shirking addicts we are today.

 

Today, we would like to introduce to you the PlayStation Classic a miniature recreation of the original PlayStation, preloaded with 20 of the best titles from a game-changing era.

Nintendo Famicom

Dedicated video game console by Sony Interactive Entertainment

 

The PlayStation Classic is a scaled-down gray block of a console measuring 1.3 by 5.6 by 4.0 inches (HWD), about half the size of the original PlayStation. Sony reproduced the contours of its first game system with the same attention to detail Nintendo gave the NES and Super NES Classic Editions, including the prominent round optical drive door (non-functioning) on the top, molded memory card slots (also non-functioning) above the controller ports, and even the vertical ridges along the sides.

A miniature recreation of the original PlayStation

 

The design of PlayStation®Classic perfectly mirrors the original console, with the same logo, button layout and packaging – but 45% smaller than 1994’s PlayStation. This miniature console comes with an HDMI cable to connect to your TV complete with two wired controllers, plus a virtual memory card to save your adventures as you switch between titles. 

Preloaded with 20 of the best titles from a game-changing era. 

 

20 games from the original PlayStation are included on the PlayStation Classic, and it's a very strange mix of big names and esoteric hits. The three most notable titles are Final Fantasy VII, Metal Gear Solid, and Resident Evil: Director's Cut.

Full-sized PlayStation controllers. 

 

The PlayStation Classic comes with two full-sized PlayStation controllers. These are old-school gamepads, from before Sony released the original DualShock controllers to replace them halfway through the console generation.

The controller ports on the front aren't scaled-down versions of the nine-pin ports on the original system, but instead recessed USB-A ports (that are completely obscured by the thoughtful plastic caps Sony put on the ends of the included controllers to look just like the gray plastic tabs of the originals).
