Note: The 30th Anniversary release of Rayman apparently has a different soundtrack to the original in 1995. Rémi Gazel, who passed away in 2019, was a key figure in composing the original soundtrack. Many fans are currently speculating that the new music is due to unfortunate licensing issues.

To celebrate the anniversary of the PS1's release in Japan, check out Issue 3 of Next Generation via @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social digital archive. The issue was published not long after the release of the console. A pic of the launch and some info from the issue below. #playstation #psx
Final Fantasy VII on the cover of EGM, May 1997. Still my favourite game! (Via @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social digital archive.) #playstation #ps1 #psx
That's the one! Lovely atmosphere in that clip.
I suspect @sharkabytes.bsky.social might know!
A question for the PS1 fan community! I sometimes recall seeing clips of a PS1 game (Japanese I think) set on some kind of space station or ship, and between missions you could visit a small bar area. I believe someone here or on Twitter posted about it. Any idea what the game is? It looked neat!
Rayman apparently outsold all other PS1 games in the UK! Do you remember playing it? (Advert pic comes from Next Generation, via @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social digital archive.) #psx #playstation

There was a very rare and gorgeous midnight blue PS1 model released in honour of ten million PS1 sales. Only 100 American models were made. Others were apparently made for Japan and Europe, but it's hard to verify exact numbers. (Image via Coleka website.) #playstation #psx
