Step77: Playstation

Dec 1995 | Console

Playstation

I remember that I was playing with a super nintendo at that time. A friend brougth a Japanese playstation to our student appartement. We discovered the two first fighting games of the console : Toshiden and Tekken

3D 3D 3D

The aera of 2D was over. 3D, previously in arcade games was now at home. That was a real pleasure. Even if the playstation first generation of games were not perfect, all of these was totally new to us.

On the hardware point of view, having 3D chipsets in console was a real progress.

Amiga

Amiga was clearly missing two important things: Chunky system and 3D hardware chipsets. In term of game and demos. Since 1993 and the first «real» demos on PC, Amiga was loosing lot of interest. Anyway, still lot of people, me included, liked to used it. I used my A1200 until 1998.

Demos made on Playstation

Demos can be done on any hardware. Using a so nice hardware as the one of the Playstation is a pleasure. On the excellent website pouet, 93 hardware machine are referenced for running demos.

Here are the two best demos.

About me

Hello. My name is Christophe KOHLER. Norn in 1973, I'm 50 year old (in 2024) and working as video game creator till 2000. When I was young, I've been involved in the Amiga demo scene during 9 years (from 1989 to 1998). I was 16 years old at the time and had really lot of fun using Amiga computers.
I took much pleasure writing these pages. First because it reminded some good memories. And secondly because I wanted to explain how the amiga computer worked and what have been our work on them.
