With a massive library of heralded games that pushed gaming into the third-dimension, the PS1 will always be remembered as a pivotal home console. Over the next six years the console-known now as the PS1-made its mark on the industry and changed gaming forever. When the console first released in 1994, it was a cutting edge technology that made use of CD-ROMs, which went against the grain of the extremely popular cartridge-based systems of the time. No one could have predicted that the PlayStation would become a household name for decades to come.
