![]() Many years have passed since then, as have many living arrangements outside of my parents’ reign of terror, and I am happy to inform you that the PlayStation has indeed been an integral part of my gaming life. My parents placed the Nintendo 64 bundle into the cart and said “Happy Birthday”. The next lane housed a Nintendo 64 bundle with two controllers, The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time and Super Mario 64. After reciting “Buy me that!” in three different languages, my parents calmly ensured me that at no point during their rule over my life would a PlayStation enter their household. When my sixteenth birthday came to pass, walking through Sam’s Club, I spotted something that brought a twinkle to my eye: A PlayStation bundle with two controllers, a copy of Gex, some obscure racing game I’d never heard of (for the record, that game was called Gran Turismo 2) and a memory card. It was me, sadness and the cold, lonely dark glow of my television as I played through Chrono Trigger for the sixteen billionth time (Oh, woe is me). My youth was spent with the bitter tears that only a child who wants a PlayStation but only owns Nintendo consoles can cry.
