To set up the story, it was probably 10 years ago that I first saw a videogame. I was at a friend's house, and had heard of a playstation, but never actually seen one before. Needless to say I was shocked and amazed by what I saw, the seemingly flawless graphics of Crash Bandicoot, Spyro the Dragon and another generic platformer I can't even remember. The lush graphics of Crash made me start a Playstation Fund, which got about half of the necessary money (the other half coming from parents dying to have me shut up about the game). I was amazed by the game so much that I never got any other PS games beyond Crash, Spyro and(later) FF7. Upon the playstation 2's arrival I was once again unbelieveably impressed and pooled my resources to amass the icredible sum of $250 one year after the launch. As of late however, the graphics of next generation systems have improved, but I've never found them nearly as stimulating as those of the original playstation. Is it because my video game experience and aging made me jaded? Probably, or maybe there's just nothing like your first game.
