      Even if you somehow skipped past the word playstation, you still assumed Final Fantasy 9 was for the n64. The game is also available on the Switch, which by zoomer logic means it was on every mainline Nintendo console.

    I've been gaming since first gen. And even though I loved PS1, most games on it aged like shit. Besides the obvious ones like Crash Bandicoot and Metal Gear Solid. Because the resolution was simply horrible, which wasn't as apparent in 2D games as with 3D games at that time. The N64 introduced lots of new Nintendo franchises, which was great. But a lot of N64 games suffered from empty levels.

    You know which consoles consistently provide quality? Handhelds. Give the kid a GBA and a PSP.

          Right now stands at 532 games and I recently passed the 100 game mark... Some longer games like Persona 5 take me an entire month to complete, so I don't think I have much hope of finishing ever

          I've been watching Ganker talk about his backlog for a decade and a half and I still have no idea how this can exist.
          Are my tastes that particular? Am I really that picky? There's a handful of games I'm moderately curious about but figure they're probably not my cup of tea, so not even on my backlog, just on my radar. The idea of having 1000 games I looked at and thought "that is right up my alley" is just crazy.
          What are all these games? Is it 1097 bargain bin PS1 JRPGs? Are you just really into solitaire?
