Such Nostalgia this thread gave me.
One of my favorite consoles,
thanks for making this thread fellow GAFfer.
I remember when my brother in law got his PS2 with Metal Gear Solid 2 without a memory card. I played and replayed with him the starting scene over and over, then he finally got a memory card and started getting more games.
Myself however had to wait a bit more to get mine... but when I got it it was the PS2 bundle with the USB Headset and this one:
I had such a great time playing that game and oh, so many other games followed after that one. I remember playing some good RPG's too, two of them in the late PS2 era that I started but never finished:
Then I did something wrong. I sold my PS2...
I said to myself that I did not had the time to play anymore, I was working and things at home were hard... for moments I was the only source of income in my house, I was tired, stressed and without time. I sold my PS2 with all my games and never looked back until months later when I found I shouldn't have done it. I still to this day regret this decision but times were dark and I had to do it... I also love the PS2 look, such a great looking console.
...There was however one game of mine that survived all this time and it's still with me, I took a photo for you GAF:
I keep telling to myself how I want and should get a PS2 anywhere since it's cheap but right I simply can't let nostalgia hit me and I can't spend more money right now but it was a great system. I hope one day to be able to get one again and play some titles that I've missed or never finished...
Thanks for reading fellow GAFfers.
