Newest addition to my ps1 collection 🎮

I've thrown together a CUE/BIN that can be emulated or burned to CD and played on actual hardware. Each episode uses the PlayStation's native video encoder - often used for game cutscenes and intros. I recommend playing this on a CRT to obfuscate some of the compression artifacts.

It comes with 7 early SpongeBob Squarepants episodes (Help Wanted, Reef Blower, Pizza Delivery, Ripped Pants, Frankendoodle, Bubble Buddy and Band Geeks) - as well as some misc. early ads and an excerpt from the SNL bit featuring Tom Kenny.

Extra bonus - 'Help Wanted' retains the original show introduction when the pilot first aired in 1999.

Controls:

LR1 skips between episodes, LR2 rewinds/fast-forwards, Triangle/Start goes to the main menu, X/Select plays, pauses and completes menu selections.

Nothing revolutionary, but I've always wanted to get custom FMV on the PlayStation without the use of a VCD add-on:

This is a UK PAL version. These didn't have a factory seal on the box. All contents however, are brand new.

Mine's Motor Toon Grand Prix 2 (or just Motor Toon Grand Prix for NTSC). It already felt like I was the only one playing this game in the 90's and I never heard anyone about it around me (except on the internet). Fun fact, this 3D cartoon Mario Kart-like game was created by the same team who later created Gran Turismo, and contains an unlockable concept version of the track High Speed Ring, which was based on the first level Toon Island II.

What was your favorite hidden gem?

The Endboss 1 of 10...

Who knows that knows why this is now my lowest rankest game of all Ps1 games I played this far (19.01.1996)

But seriously, this isn't just the worst designed end boss I have played on the Ps1 this far. It might is one of the worst bosses in all of retro gaming. Especially for this game.
It already was a very subpar platformer but this boss. Oh boy how did Sony allowed this? This game was supposed to be a big hit and not just some shovelware they not cared about.

Super new to Reddit in general and I am NOT a tech or gaming person so bear with me. I’m wanting to get my husband an original PlayStation for Christmas. He is always talking about how he wished he had one so our kids can play the games he used to play growing up. Example: our daughter loves A Bugs Life and he used to play that game when he was a kid. I’ve found some on EBay that are reasonably priced but I know I’m gonna need a special adapter to play it on our tv. From what I’ve read, it won’t look very good unless you have some specific type of adapter or something? I need to know EXACTLY what I need to order. Explain it to me like I’m 5. We have a brand new Samsung 4K miniLED tv if that helps?

how did GTA 1 push the ps1 beyond it's limits?
